You are literally advocating for someone who is occasionally rude and had 10 views outside the Overton window over three decades to be forcefully hospitalized.

I don't agree with these 10 views (which he retracted), but that is on he level of abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union:

The proper way of dealing with people who you think are assholes is to tell them.

If he hands you a "pleasure card" (allegedly, assume for a moment that this is true), tell him to pleasure himself.

If he interrupts you, tell him to stop interrupting you.

But congratulations, instead you have introduced the next logical step how the collective should deal with political opponents.

I'm usually against the stupid cancelation culture, but, please, can we finally cancel Red Hat that is subtly doing so much harm to the open source community and software since a few years?

They have already taken hostage a lot of things in the open source communities thanks to they huge financial power; and now they are also trying to take hostage the Free Software Foundation...

I hope that the US tax authorities will go after them for any deduction they could have benefited following their donations, because of the rude difference between the gift of donation, and giving money to buy something.

The Linux driver ABI doesn't need to be stable because the drivers are supposed to be published under the GPL. This way manufactures just need to help get their drivers upstreamed and are largely off the hook for support after that.

Androids awful graphics API is hack that allows Qualcomm to keep the driver source closed which means the BSPs rot and you can't use your phone after 2-3 years.

I'll happily buy a 10 year old SoC with half the clock speed but open source drivers over anything from Qualcomm because of how awful they are with this.
There is a better way to achieve your goal of removing uninteresting commits from the project history. Rather than explain it here, I will write an article about it and post it on HN. Stay tuned.
On an aside, should employers be able to talk about if someone has a criminal or sexual assault history? Because if we say people should be free of their past, it’s pretty clear that criminal history is a huge job killer for a lot of people.
I get kind of annoyed when people can't do at least 10 or less minutes of their own research. I believe it states on the front page that its akin to Next for svelte and the successor svelte/sapper. If you don't know what those are then perhaps just follow the links backwards and read?
From my experience most ISPs don't give publicly routable addresses anymore, just throwing everybody behind CGNAT (currently I pay extra 3$ monthly fee for static routable IP, but not all providers offer it). And IPv6 is usually still not deployed.
> This is hardly reducing the attack surface compared to a good distro with the usual userspace.

Run `tcpdump -n 'tcp and port 80'` on your frontend host and you'll still see PHP exploit attempts from 15 years ago. Not every ghost who knocks is an APT. A singleton Go binary running on a Linux kernel with no local storage is objectively a smaller attack surface than a service running in a container with /bin/sh, running on a vhost with a full OS, running on a physical host with thousands of sleeping VMs—the state of many, many websites and APIs today.
I find it fascinating the level of assurance that this post has. Being able to remotely diagnose somebody, based on a few social media posts, seems a really useful skill to have!

That being said, people that follow their own convictions, to a fault, are probably a bit crazy. After all, if they were finely attuned to all the social cues they would know that their thinking is not welcome. We all benefited from the GNU movement on some way or another, but now that this idea is well received (to some extent), it's time to get rid of that inconvenient leader.

I don't disagree, but I think a lot of people have skewed perception of cost and effort in cooking. The two complaints I hear from people are generally, "But I don't know what I'm going to _want_ to eat until it's dinner time!" and "It's too hard/I don't know how to cook."

I love to cook and bake, though I have the luxury of doing it when I want to. (My wife usually does most of it). I can make a batch of bread dough for three baguettes in under three minutes. Letting it rise takes no time, though it does require some foresight. Baking is only a few extra minutes of additional effort. I think I calculated that one baguette costs me about $0.17 of ingredients, almost all going toward flour, which I buy in bulk. It's also delicious - frankly, much better than anything I've bought anywhere else except for the boulangeries in France.
I've wondered about that too (competing with nature for the sun) but I think just putting panels on the roof or over the parking lot would probably address 95% of the problem.

Along similar lines, I've wondered if solar panels will start to look like pine trees at some point.
The first chapter-book I remember reading was one of the Ralph S. Mouse books, Motorcycle Mouse. I have fond memories of those times and I have since read them to my kids.
> This isn't as simple as you make it sound.

It is. There is no single comfortable temperature, it's a range. The first step is when electricity is cheap, cool the house to the low end of the range.

The next step is to cool a tank of water. People already have a hot water tank, it doesn't seem like much of an engineering or cost challenge to have a cold water tank, and using that to cool air.

A further step is to increase the thermal mass of the house, which means it will take longer to heat up. Thermal mass can be simply adding a big pile of rocks in the basement and blowing air through it.
They guy makes 10s of comments a day on a wide range of new articles and then publishes them publicly. Trawling over the thousands of them and presenting the the worst of them with no context what so ever, feels kind of seedy and pathetic to me.
Sounds like you’ve replaced one fungible asset with another.
I've got a hAP ac² and while it is a bit more involved to set up than your average consumer router, it also exposes a lot of advanced functionality that you can really get into.

I'll be adding one or two APs and managing them with CAPsMAN when we move to a larger house. IMO it beats Ubiquiti's offerings on functionality, but is behind on polish.

> coffee farming is less profitable than data hosting.

yes, the money is in roasting. you're missing the essential point, there is a reason why coffee growers don't roast their own raw material, because they cannot get access to capital to get the equipment, let along access to the customers.

but coffee isn't the point.

Unless there is a sustained incentive to store the data, there will not be anyone willing to host it. the amount they charge is not enough to make it sustainable for people to invest in equipment to host the data, so you'll be reliant on best effort, or worse still, short term incentives that are unsustainable, leading to wide spread evaporation of storage.

You pay for gaurenteed storage, which is why its expensive, its a slice of the capex for the equipment, opex for the running and maintenance, plus profit. At this current price, it doesn't cover any of them.

>big ships are being built with scant regards for hydrodynamics in shallow waters, and it makes a case for some proper research before building more.

doesn't seem so :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_effect

"The third largest cruise ship in the world, MS Oasis of the Seas, used this effect to obtain an extra margin of clearance between the vessel and the Great Belt bridge, Denmark, 1 November 2009, on a voyage from the shipyard in Turku, Finland to Florida, USA.[5] The new cruise liner passed under the bridge at 20 knots (37 km/h) in the shallow channel, giving the ship extra clearance due to a 30 cm squat."

The current situation with EverGiven seems to be more like a ship piloting error - as normally they are taught about the Bernoulli based bank/squat effects when piloting near ground or near other ships moving in parallel direction.
Whose decision is it, if not the person who opts to become addicted and continue that addiction?

People like to personify addiction, as if there is some outside force controlling the person, but this is to discount and discard every single addict who decided to clean themselves up. I know lots of addicts who chose to continue, and I know lots of addicts who chose to stop.

Don't personify the addiction: the brain of an addict is still that person's brain, and their decisions are still their own, even if they are de-legitimized in your own opinion due to their addiction. There is literally no one else who could possibly be responsible for the decisions of that human's brain and actions than that human being.

What goes in to our own bodies when we are not coerced by another person is our own decision, full stop.
Did you ever read Otis Spofford? Quite a different character than Henry, closer to Ramona in being misunderstood, picked on and lashing out in turn. Pairs well with Ellen Tebbits, similar to Beezus’ perspective in that Otis annoys her but she has her own problems with friendships.

In general I think it’s a misunderstanding to see her boy characters as only intended to he understood and appreciated by boys; same for the girls.

Interesting, how do you experience spatial memories? Is it somehow encoded verbally, or via somatosensation? Or does it feel completely subconscious, like a Pavlovian reaction? Or something else?

I am bad at visualizing things from what I can subjectively tell, but as far as memory is concerned it's mainly the spatial memory tests where I perform poorly. So it's hard for me to imagine what recalling spatial memories is like, besides the assumption that people can probably visualize them.

No, we should not institutionalize people (or call for people to be institutionalized) just because. The threshold for that is very rightly very high. We don't do that to people who are way worse than the worst depiction of RMS, for good reasons.
I predict that store-bought pre-packages meals will become more common in Europe over time.

I think there’s a clear pattern of food cultures being hollowed out over time. It’s great if your parents know how to cook well and you can learn from them, but eventually that chain breaks when a child would rather buy their food than learn to cook it. Making things from scratch is hard and time-consuming if you don’t know how to cook. At that point store-bought meals are sometimes the best remaining option.

The United States gets a lot of flack for being the first country to encounter a lot of issues because we were the first to widely industrialize food, but this will happen everywhere.

Yea, you can avoid it without losing much at all.

Most common place IME you end up needing to use it are when assigning functions on a class as event listeners: if you want to be able to remove them, you need to use the same value in `addEventListener` as `removeEventListener`; and if the function uses other properties of the class, you must use `.bind(this)` to correctly set `this`.

It may help to think of it like this. This code

object.someFunction(a, b);

is syntactic sugar for

someFunction.call(object, a, b)

So with most usages of functions, the `this` is implicitly defined. The trouble comes when you start passing around references to functions.

const fn = object.someFunction;
fn(a, b); // throw `this is undefined` error if function accesses this

Here, `this` was never defined. So you need to do one of:

const fn = object.someFunction.bind(object);
fn(a ,b);
// OR
fn.call(object, a, b);

The last thing you need to know is the difference between arrow functions and classic functions. Arrow functions _never_ have a `this` binding of its own. It doesn't make a scope. If the scope it was defined in happened to already define `this`, it would use that. Classic functions (`function blah() {}` or `const fn = function() {}`) do make a new scope, so they have a `this` binding, so if you wanted to access `this` of the outer scope you'd have to assign it to another variable beforehand

class A {
a = 1;
fn() {
const thisRef = this;
return function () { return thisRef.a }
}
}

With arrow functions, it's easier:

class A {
a = 1;
fn() {
return () => { return this.a }
}
}

I think this is all you'd ever need to know.

My perception is that valve has suffered some negative experiences due to bad actors interacting with its radically libertarian labour practices. I don't have insider knowledge, so I could be wrong, but this is the sense I have gotten reading articles over the years about how the IP for VR was handled for instance
>No (except TCP keepalives and a FIN when your browser finally decides to close the connection).

These could reveal to future eavesdroppers what sites you visited in the past.

>Huh? Each TCP socket only connects your computer to a single host, and will only be reused if your browser needs to send more traffic to that same host. Your computer isn’t going to randomly send packets to the wrong website, whether or not you have an open connection to that website.

I'm talking about an attacker that is passively sniffing your traffic. For example someone on the same wifi network as you who is listening to your traffic. Not some random website.

The alternative is finding another job. People who work at Amazon (they're not the only game in town) voluntarily choose to work there because they have decided that working there is a better option for them, in their opinion, than any other job they might be able to obtain.

It's not "dehumanization xor starvation"; if it were then it would rightfully be called coercive or "forced". It's not, because there are lots and lots and lots and lots of unskilled jobs that are almost always available.
The wood doesn’t self-heal or continue to grow once it is cut. Given that they grow some of this material from wood or wood dust, you could potentially recycle your old wood into a new material directly.
I actually just went the other way. I found CF is a bit too aggressive with anti-DDOS measures, and the page would not work sometimes in Safari with default settings.

We need to deal with mountains of user input from mobile devices and the worst we have run into is "smart" quotes from iOS devices hosing older business systems. Our end users are pretty good about not typing pirate flags into customer name fields.

I still haven't run into a situation where I need to count the logical number of glyphs in a string. Any system that we need to push a string into will be limiting things on the basis of byte counts, so a .Length check is still exactly what we need.

Does this cause trouble for anyone else?

I would agree with that. Today I replaced an 11 year old Western Digital Green 500GB HDD with a new Seagate 2TB HDD. The WD Green still runs fine! But, it's 11 years old. That's a long time in HDD years. Its brother is a 10 year old Seagate 500GB HDD which, as soon as it's done copying to the 2TB disk, is also being retired. But you never know, I might pull them out of retirement at any point for a non critical project. They're both in excellent shape. And unless you change to SSD, the technology hasn't change so much in the last decade that these things are garbage.
You're the second person either intentionally misconstruing or misunderstanding.

I am saying that things like personal belief shouldn't factor into the hiring decision at all. Leave those at the door.

There may be some beliefs that are relevant to the job, so they are not personal. Though you could in theory work for an organization even if you don't believe in its goals - a lot of software developers working for certain companies would probably like to claim this defense.

> The army was then killed by the Khan’s escort.

I wonder which definition of "army" and "escort" this legend is using. Unless there was trickery involved (or it was done willingly) it stands to reason that an honor guard or escort cannot murder a whole army.

This is probably just a legend.
Oooh exciting! NERF is a very interesting technique but last I heard rendering was taking 20 seconds per frame. This looks great. It says it can do 150 fps by translating the NERF to a more renderable format, which makes sense.

>A-10 was designed to kill T-55s, T62s and T-72s (most modern tank USSR had at that time), not today's tanks.
>GAU-8 was extremely effective against armor from that era and still is very useful against armored vehicles, structures, etc.

The GAU-8 couldn't penetrate the frontal armour of the T-62, let alone the turrent on the sides. With ERA armour it becomes even more ineffective. Those tanks? AA, SAM, and enemy CAP are covering them so good luck getting slow and low enough to hit the tanks in the rear and 1. surviving, 2. actually hitting the damn things.

>F16's can't do what A10 does the best (CAS).

This

>In 1st Gulf War A10s are credited with something like 1000 tanks destroyed (mostly with Mavericks though)

contradicts this.

an F-16 can carry mavricks just as well as the A-10, can get their faster, and has higher survivabilty rate compared to the slow as molasses A-10.

Hell, you could replace the A-10 with a single engine turboprop with rough airfield landing capabilities and it would be way more cost-effective than the A-10.

What if that race is white? A private organization providing funds solely to white folks. Would it be a problem then? Wonder if Oakland would care in that circumstance.

Probably not, right? After all this area is so notoriously colorblind that they hid camera footage of crimes on BART for fear that it would allow the public to know the race of the perpetrators of the people attacking and robbing them.

So this should also be okay, for such a woke entity.
