I don't fully agree with either analysis, but it shows the evidence and basic form of the argument. Most human pandemics historically have originated from natural zoonosis, but the 1977 flu pandemic was very likely a lab accident. So my prior knowing that a pandemic has occurred but nothing else would be small but not zero, perhaps a few percent.

That the pandemic occurred in a city that (a) lies far from expected natural spillover regions for SARS-like viruses, and (b) contains the lab with the world's biggest collection of SARS-like viruses increases that probability. That the lab staff say they weren't working with any viruses close to SARS-CoV-2 decreases it, but the obstruction of any attempt to verify that independently increases it back again.

The absence of a proximal host also increases that probability. China has every opportunity and motivation to find that, and so far they've failed. I guess it's possible that they found it and they're lying, because they seem determined now to show that the virus originated outside China; but the lab leak has become a sufficiently established part of (politicized and largely science-free) anti-China rhetoric that I'd guess they'd welcome the chance to prove it false.

Of course that could just mean the pandemic originated from a very rare but natural event. But that then raises the possibility of a naturally-evolved virus released by WIV staff, whether by way of the lab or just from a researcher who gets infected on a sampling trip--WIV collection activity is a small fraction of total human activity in spillover areas, but a large fraction of human activity travelling from the most remote virus-rich regions back to Wuhan.

If you're interested in this, I'd suggest Alina Chan's Twitter feed. She's taken a tremendous reputational risk here, and quite a lot of abuse both from virologists who find it unthinkable that their work could lead to such a catastrophe, and from genuine conspiracy theorists disappointed when what they thought was their ally debunks their science-free claims.
America’s Great Crime Decline Is Over
Every group seems to accuse every other group of being a snowflake and easily offended, in particular it's enemies.

“easily offended” is more often than not to be taken as “offended by something I do not find offensive”.
I am not in favor of this person getting fired.

That said, should this person be making decisions with regards to abuse reports (especially those involving questionable content involving children) when this person has apparently shown poor judgement in administration decisions on Reddit that involve said content? Or anything involving community relations? No.

I'd be satisfied if they found something else for her to do.

Is It Time for StopOps?
My view:

The first version of PCRE was released in 1997, first Perl that supported PCRE in 2009. Claiming PCRE is "a legacy of Perl" is like saying C is a legacy of C#.

Calling a2p "aggressive" because it did a surprisingly good job converting awk to perl is like saying useful technology is aggressive.

Perl wasn't supposed to replace awk. It was designed to integrate features of C, shell, sed, and awk into one tool. That was spectacularly useful.

Perl is a high point in PL stability, still correctly running most Perl 4 scripts from the last century, with active community support for versions of Perl from 15 years ago. This is despite continuous evolution, eg adding Unicode support, in contrast to POSIX ("printable ASCII characters, space, BEL, backspace, tab, carriage return, newline, vertical tab, form feed, and null").

"Perl used to introduce ... sigills all the time in dot versions." Perl has never introduced a new sigil.

Perl maintains backwards compatibility despite also evolving because it's maintained by smart and conscientious professionals.

The OP discussion of the future is a continuation of that same philosophy.
Thanks,

I worte the book using Lyx (https://www.lyx.org/) Each chapter is a Lyx document.

Then I converted : Lyx to LaTeX, then LaTeX doc are converted to HTML with pandoc (https://pandoc.org/).

Then I have an homemade script to generate Vue Components.

Lyx and Pandoc are great tools !

It's really more of a petrol bomb, yeah.

Realpolitik is what it is, but in this case standing up for the cause of Taiwanese freedom against (mainland) Chinese aggression aligns fairly well with the current political climate in the US. I'm willing to accidentally do the right thing if we have to.
I actually use Ubuntu for my work laptop as a developer, and I use whatever default SSH executable comes with Ubuntu.

I know there's some standards to `id_rsa` and `known_hosts` or `authorized_hosts`; and I use ~/.ssh/config for establishing new keys, like `work_rsa` which I think is essentially the same structure as the set app SSH config.

> they'll figure out that splitting into two parties and exchanging highest power between the two every few years while still colectively controlling everything of value is way more resilient system

This requires rule of law to function. Otherwise, one set of elites won't trust handing power to the other. The breathless levels of corruption at the top of the CCP would also have to go, which is a difficult transition to peacefully navigate.
I am not convinced at all.

What I am convinced of is that the ratio of those that break the law in crimes that typically involve abuse of power, are more commonly found in positions of power.

The average pædophile will live his life without ever breaking any such laws, by either lack of willingness, or lack of opportunities awarded by such power.
It allows you to deploy for a few more days. That fixes the "i can not deploy problem" if my customer needs a urgent fix.

Sure you will be as much in violation of GPL as without that (even if you don't deploy you will violate the GPL), but that is another problem which needs to be addressed.
I dont think its clear that nothing can be done, its just that nothing was done. Going weapons hot with military anti aircraft guns within a few miles of civilian ships and aircraft is probably not something that any sane officer is going to order, unless there is a safety of life issue.
> Why exactly should private entities be forced to host content that they choose not to host?

Where did you get that idea? No one is forcing a provider to host content they do not wish to host, and my comment made no mention of such a thing.

Regardless, that's completely orthogonal to the fact that certain view points are being suppressed. How do you consider such an assertion to be ridiculous? Do you consider something suppressed only when all mentions, everywhere, of a particular topic, are erased? I don't think you do. Just because those opinions have not been _fully_ suppressed does not mean they _are_ being suppressed, as indicated by examples such as the bans and erasures previously mentioned.
Check out vibe.d and the hunt framework. Both would probably get you started in that direction. Vibe.d is quite powerful and flexible, but might not be the easiest framework to get into. I haven't used hunt yet. Last time I looked, I didn't find any docs in a language that I could read.

This is a confusing rant that conflates accountancy with finance, management, economics, politics, among other things.
I am so happy to see this on HN. A couple years ago I started learning about rhizosphere environment. It has changed how I look at my gardening. I now see healthy plants as a biproduct of feeding and caring for the soil. I imagine the soil as the external stomach of plants. When the soil is healthy plants thrive. I get excited when I start seeing larger arthropods in a new bed. It is an indication that the soil ecosystem is very healthy.

To head down the rabbit hole of soil health even further, learning about increasing the cation exchange capacity(CEC) affect on plant health has been fascinating.
Thanks for your feedback ! I will add a warning in the book concerning Logrus.

I will also check Zap to add an example :)
> remarkably open every time he's changed user content

Are you sarcastic? This is logically a very useless statement due to the nature of trust. Once trust was broken it’s hard to obtain because does clearly lied about other things, why should he be trusted now that he’s been caught.

“I’ve been remarkably open about all the extra marital affairs where I’ve been caught, please trust there are no others.”

“I’ve been remarkably open about all the robberies where I was convicted, please trust that there are no others.”

Etc etc.

I would feel foolish even presenting any unsound logic and can’t even think of a situation where it would be relevant to trust. Officiated lie detector? Sodium pentathol administered by an adversarial government? Testimony under oath?

It is rather fascinating isn't it. Not that long ago I remember reading FBI agent documentation describing to the judge how he got the information and publicly available comments were a big part of this. It throws a serious wrench into validity of such submissions by LEOs now.

> IDM = Internet Download Manager , in most people's mind

IDM in most people's minds is Intelligent Dance Music.

But, in Tech I am familiar with many people using IDM for IDentity Management. When I was associated with a different Tech vertical than I am now, people used IDM as an acronym for Integrated Document Mangement.
I feel really stupid to ask , but can I install this on Windows.
It's actually very easy to set up a TLS server using certificates from Let's Encrypt or any other ACME-compliant certificate provider. If you're using Apache, mod_md[0] will manage all the details for you. After enabling mod_md and mod_ssl, a simple TLS server only requires a few lines of extra configuration compared to a basic non-TLS site:

MDCertificateAgreement accepted
MDomain example.org
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example.org
ServerAdmin admin@example.org
ServerAlias www.example.org # optional
DocumentRoot htdocs/root
SSLEngine on
</VirtualHost>

If you're using Nginx rather than Apache I believe it still requires an external script to handle certificate renewal, but the process remains fairly simple. The same scripts will also work with Apache if you don't want to use mod_md.

Normal rules of balance can be twisted or broken in this case, depending on your desired outcome.

On the one hand, you've got the (reasonable) rule "always condemn and distance yourself from pedophilia". On the other hand, you've got the also reasonable rule "never discriminate against someone because of their gender". If the Greens, Lib Dems, Reddit, or anyone else involved had chosen not to hire her, she could stir up outrage against them for gender discrimination. If they did hire her, the public could stir up outrage against them for their connection to pedophiles.

It's easy to agree that both pedophilia and gender discrimination are bad. It's harder to take action, especially when people have prior agendas.
> I think what I'm trying to say is, whatever may be your feelings of Reddit and its stature, this particular act by spez was pretty insignifiant in the grand scheme of things.

In court there’s a concept called “falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus”[1]. If you’re shown to have lied to the court once, then anything else you’ve said can be considered to be a lie as well. You lose the assumption of good faith of the judge and jury.

It might not be a courtroom, but the same concept applies to a so called “bastion of free speech” platform like Reddit.

> I wouldn't think of myself as a passionate developer. I have a family, I value my free time. I spend work time growing my skill set as it's required, anything else I do is rarely related.

Clearly you've never met devs that have no passion. They will actively refuse to learn new things and have absolutely no interest in doing so.

If you look at other professions, growing skills and staying up do date is supposed to be done during working hours and is budgeted for. A lot of 10x I've met were parents and had a pretty strict schedule. Whatever time they had in the office was 100% dedicated to shipping results or growing and they had to be efficient at it because there was no way they would spend less time with their families.
They've been mentioned on HN in the past, which is why I know about them:

That would be considered propaganda. I was too strict by claiming propaganda can only be done to a government's own citizens.

In contrast a good example of psychological warfare would be when Russia organized a protest and an attendant counter-protest in Texas that were made to appear "organic."[0] So the difference between the two is that one proudly has an official "Russia" label on it and the other is clandestine.

For almost 6 years, I've been using

general.smoothScroll: false
mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount: 60

I'd never given mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y a try. But now with both

mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount: 60

and your

mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y: 300

it's a little too much for me. But ymmv.

mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y and mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount seem identical in function.
It worked out well for WordPress, Github, Trello, Discord and many, many others.

People pray to software now.

They pray that their message will be heard on the platform they use.

They pray that the gods won't smite their business from its platform.

They pray the algorithms will choose a match that will love them and see them for who they really are.

They pray that their resume is kept by the filters and shown to a human who might understand it.

God is dead and the platforms have killed him.

You still see a lot of them being brought into wildlife rescue hospitals for lead poisoning from having eaten birdshot or in some other way ingesting fired ammunition. Seems to be the biggest issue in the Midwest for them, anyway.

Either way, as a kid I remember being told to assume you'd never see one and they'd probably be extinct in my lifetime. Now I couldn't even tell you how many I've seen, from as far east as PA and north to AK.
Yes. However there are now Americans who are touting the same propaganda. It's frightening to see how greed easily corrupts them.

OK, I understand privacy concerns with actually private information like name/address/email/etc. But a tracking pixel for ads? Why is this a concern? Since when?

This looks suspiciously like the situation with obesity. Instead of eating less to lose weight, and eating fresh to stay healthy, people just blame "the corporations" for all their troubles.

Seems to me like it's counterproductive. Just put up safety nets for people because they can't control themselves. What do you end up with? A bunch of impulsive idiots and a few organizations with way too much control over them.

This is reality as I see it. You can be offended if you want, but I'd suggest you learn not to be offended by some words on a screen. That of course requires responsibility, which is free but I can sell it to you for $99/month if you want.

We have 3 lines of Verizon "Beyond Unlimited" (not sure if they offer this anymore). I believe that is "unlimited" up to 75GB from the phone itself, and 25 or 30GB hotspot, per line. The kids burn through their data fairly quickly so we look for parks/resorts that have some sort of WIFI option, whether public or paid, to supplement their needs.
For my personal and work usage, I'm able to get by without reaching my cap each month on the Verizon plan. I also purchased a cellular booster (weboost) which has made a huge difference in some rural areas.
Staying connected to the interwebs is what bank-rolls this operation so it has been the single biggest pain-point for travel, but doing research on locations has help mitigate some of that. https://www.campgroundreviews.com has been a good resource. Hope that helps. Happy/safe travels.

Because they don't want to just come out and say "Karen."
If you listen to them, they say they're not separatists...

But if they were that's all the more reason for there to be criminal penalties for their actions.

That kind of comparison relies on leaving the definitions of important concepts undefined. For instance the word "democracy" in "CCP's rule as people's democracy" and "free and fair democratic election" is being used to refer to incompatible things. To an American's ear, the CCP's use is an Orwellian inversion akin to "Freedom is Slavery."
I think the idea that we should cancel people because of what their parents or partners did is incredibly wrongheaded.
