The article is NOT about px versus em or pt.

It is about specifying sizes in a way that makes sense, i.e. based on visible quantities rather than abstract quantities that are difficult to understand.
"User > VPN > Tor > VPN"

This suggests to me the author is giving advice based on paranoia rather than technical knowledge.
For a side project? I'd start by creating the store API I want so I could swap storage backends later.

Then I'd use PostgreSQL with PostGIS. Fastest way to get up and running and it will scale decently well. Well enough for a side project.

If you get traction and scale takes off, switch to something more exotic. Until then, a single PostgreSQL instance will work wonders.

Lagos Appoints Special Visitation Panel to Resolve LASU VC Debacle
Yeah, Komarov's story was a really bad example of rushing things. Looks like it helped to bring space industry leaders to senses. USSR was infamous for trying to make "victories" by the time of next anniversary of October Revolution, or party gathering, but spaceflights since then weren't rushed with half-baked tech and a human onboard.
Yeah and then the CO2 price shoots up and suddenly all your green investments are deep in the black while your fossil fuel investments are deep in the red.
If that's the case, they wouldn't need to report the location back to themselves, would they? The phone would simply check its coordinates, and turn it on or off.
Even if you only count the people who do study and master their tools in a dedicated way, you still end up with an absolute flood of talent compared to demand. My kids are both music students, so I'm immersed in it, plus I'm a part time working musician myself.
The union lost by 2 votes. The election results were later thrown out because the company had engaged in illegal electioneering, but by the time this happened the company had fired several union organizers (also illegally) and the campaign lost steam.

Uhm.. in the AWS i've used, it's on explicit allow, and all of their docs and tutorials start with IAM and what's needed and why. What more do you want? I can't imagine IAM being simpler while being as granular as it is. You just have to actually take the time to learn about it, like every system. It's still drastically easier to use it securely than doing something on a similar scale and detail manually.
No, peasants had rights which varied immensely depending on their exact status and where they were. Still the aristocracy couldn't just kill them or take their stuff, and one of the primary responsibilities of the aristocracy or other landholders was adjudicating disputes between peasants. So if we were two free peasants who got in a fight, we might end up in court with the lord or their representative deciding between us, with one or both of us possibly facing fines.
Nope. Proper nouns are to be pronounced in whatever way is dictated by the country of origin.

Also, no, English is not very reliable when it comes to spelling vs. pronunciation.

For me it was a combination of the scale of what he was getting revenge for - not just “crossed this dude” but ruined his entire life as he knew it - and that regardless of the overarching plot, it is a very well written book. Personally, I’m a fan of long books that suck you into their world, even if the story itself isn’t incredible - I’m the same with music, I tend to like slow evolving techno and ambient - I’m more interested in the atmosphere than the narrative/drama!
The featured article seems to say to me that they are far from fine.
as i understand it, by not communicating directly, companies avoid the most damning potential evidence that they are colluding. it's theoretically possible to still determine that their behavior is collusive, but quite difficult in practice.

i personally think anti-trust/anti-monopoly regulations should be tightened by an order of magnitude or so. any market that exhibits such extended, obviously inflated profit margins needs to be sliced up more finely. any market participant with more than ~10% market share should be scrutinized closely. piercing the corporate veil should be the norm with any anticompetitive infraction (as well as embezzlement, insider trading, and other such executive crimes).

in short, make markets fair (not just 'free').

and in turn, that should allocate capital more efficiently throughout the economy, rather than letting it accumulate inefficiently in fewer and fewer hands.
if you have built anything on web forms, then you really have no way forward other than rewriting all that. That alone will keep many an enterprise locked on .NET Framework for quite some time.
There are ways, but definitely can be hard to get unstuck from framework. This came across my newsfeed this am: https://www.telerik.com/blogs/jump-starting-migration-dotnet... and also, the other day, dotnet rocks podcast had a guy on talking about an upgrade tool. I think it was this one: https://visualrecode.com/

Not the parent com mentor, but your argument is similar to the one where rock music and violent video games were blamed to cause violence. I don't know the show mentioned but in general would be a good idea not to block legal material because someone thinks it is not safe. There might be a correlation between some groups that consume X and some ill people.

The reason I intervened in this debate is that I listen to rock music and people that listen to rock were always accused of bad things by idiots without any proof that there is a causation, many people got beaten or killed because of this so I am really hopping we learned a lesson that maybe we should prove that something is bad.
Its us-vs-them all the way when it comes to disinformation and shitting up the internet more. I don't care where your personal beliefs are, the issue is that this brand of online wokness is so widespread its taking over everything, with plenty of misinformation to go about.

Gitlab Open Sources Protocol Fuzzer Community Edition
This was me in my old research lab. I had to teach an undergrad how to copy and paste text into notepad and save the file on the shared drive. The kid grew up on iPads and had no idea how to work a desktop, nor had a great understanding of what a file or directory structure is. Things I took for granted.

It used to be the GUI was basically the same as a CLI but with clicks instead of typing out "cp" "mv" etc. Now the GUI to CLI relationship is severed. You have an iPhone and the GUI it runs is basically running on top of the underlying CLI that apple hides from you (and you need to jailbreak the phone in order to gain access).

Imagine if Apple just gave these kids root and a terminal app, and the files app actually showed you the directory structure of the device. They could be scripting on these machines and learning about how they function same as we did growing up.

Instead, apple things we need to hold these kids hands and should learn Swift and other low code efforts instead. IMO these kids don't need an easy bake oven to learn to cook, they need a kitchen and the freedom to learn how to burn themselves like we had. Apple is afraid of letting their customers operate the stove they bought.
Heh heh. That is a very Linux story.
No press is bad press.
First, I just have to say what an amazing resource this is. Thanks!

But I do have two questions, the first of which has literally burned a hole in my brain since I read your tutorial: When you emit the instructions to the buffer, I noticed that you encode the objects(or at least the ints) beforehand. Why is this? I am specifically talking about about line 3 in compile_expr() in part 2. Am I misunderstanding something?

My second question is when you might be releasing a new part in the series ;)
Of course just scrapping diesels on the road isn't the best/most efficient idea. We have the technology to do EV conversions, we just need to make that more cost effective. Volkswagon has talked about shipping a mass produced "crate" system that could fit into older VW vehicles' engine blocks. Though if we are talking *trucks* the big player that should be building an EV conversion kit yesterday is Ford, who still seem to act like EV is a passing fad they can just dip their toes in and not get serious about.

I have no doubt at all that pedophiles do enjoy fictional child pornography. However, my contention is that (i) it is not clear that pedophiles make up the majority of such viewers, and there are other plausible explanations for why, concordant with what we know from other kinds of media, and (ii) it is not clear that the fans understand the work in the way pedophiles do, and Galbraith's work on the history and current trend of phenomenon hints in that direction.

From what I can tell, the people whom the content is marketed towards (and yes, including things like Mushoku Tensei) concerns people with what is known in Japan as the "2D complex", or people with vivid imaginations, with a strong distinction between fantasy and reality.

At the same time, I will agree that pedophiles typically have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality. But it is undeniable that there are kink, fetish, and pornography communities which work on the very principle of distinguishing fiction from reality, and infusing them with imagination that does not reflect real-world desire. It also stands to reason that the aesthetic properties mean something - in that if the primary audience were pedophiles, we'd see much more realistic depictions, or a trend toward realism, rather than an emphasis on distorted bodies, ridiculous settings, parody, and unbelievable characters common in such material.

See also readings on Otaku, fictional sexuality, and moe. Japan, and by extension those who are moulded by Japanese media, has a strong tradition of a different conception of fiction and reality to the Western view that fiction is pure wish-fulfillment, and real desire is a fixed point in erotic function. Galbraith cites this research in the paper I mentioned earlier, as does Gary Young (a psychologist, for once!) in the work mentioned earlier.

Now everyone who suspected it and commented out loud about it can smugly say "i told you so". Those who fell for it have egg on their face.

It seems naive to want to talk to the press under a pseudonym — Adam, in this case.

When looking for leakers internal security auditors don’t need proof you are Adam in order to fire you. They just put enough pressure on the most likely Adams such that they quit.

You will be one of them. If another Adam does so, so be it. Your actions likely flushed the other leaker when you thought you were the only one. You won’t be able to handle the pressure. Neither could she.

Adieu, Adam, et al.
> Could be that and explanation to the final part of the curve?

In principle yes of course, but 1) there's an obvious mechanism which gives you a clear prior and 2) this is not the first time people have looked at this type of data and the results are consistent across species and locales [1].

Makes looking for "alternative explanations" look like motivated reasoning to me.

You might have a point if you actually had particular insight on how the species and cultivars used in Japan changed over time.

Hmm its almost like goverment regulations that apply to ALL companies are somehow different than selectively unionizing the labor force of a certain company or sector.

I would disagree. Flat design is not poison. It is simplicity. Simplicity, done well, leads to a good design.

Yes, there have to be visual cues to know that it is a button. There has to be contrast. There should be a hover state that changes the contrast/color when hovering over it. The shape can indicate that it is button.

While I love the technical accomplishment of the OP and think it is a great thought experiment, I wouldn't want this arcade-button everywhere.

I believe skeuomorphic design, when overused makes a website harder to mentally process.

If this were the sole button consistently used on a web app, and the 3D button fit with the website's design, then maybe it would be good.

However, I would hate for a generation of HN users to see this post and think they should regress to designs reminiscent of 1998/2007.
To me, the benefit of "Target-typed new expressions" is more with bringing consistency to class-scope member declarations and method-scope member declarations, so these two can look the same, and a programmer only has to read one way of declaring new members in C#:

public class MyClass {
private readonly MyDependency _myDependency = new();

public void MyMethodThatDoesWork() {
MyVariable variable = new();
}
}

As opposed to the (now old, IMO) var syntax/Java-like syntax mixture:

public class MyClass {
private readonly MyDependency _myDependency = new MyDependency();

public void MyMethodThatDoesWork() {
var variable = new MyVariable();
}
}

Edited for HN formatting.
> There's no conversation had upon the charges on a digital distribution store. I'd say - let's have that conversation and come up with a number. Currently, the number is decided in a "free market".

There is no competition in the mobile app distribution market. Apple and Google have a duopoly on mobile app distribution, and they behave like a cartel when it comes to price fixing.

For over a decade now, consumers and developers could have benefited from real competition in the mobile app distribution market. Real competition between companies means that consumers can benefit from increased efficiencies and reductions in cost when it comes to distributing mobile apps.

Instead, Apple and Google have kept a stranglehold on the mobile app distribution market, and it took over a decade and the threat of regulation before Apple chose to lower costs to developers somewhat.

How can anyone know what prices are "industry standard" or "too high" when it comes to mobile app distribution if there is no real competition in that market, just a cartel consisting of two trillion dollar companies controlling mobile app distribution for nearly 13 years?

Not really, only to say that it's happened to me several times, and isn't something I've been able to reproduce.

It happens infrequently enough that the first handful of times I thought I must have just forgotten to lock the machine. Eventually I realised that wasn't so and I wasn't just imagining it because, of course, by this time I'd become ultra-paranoid about locking the thing.

I'm running a ~2 year old Dell XPS equipped with a touchscreen. It's a decent machine for my needs but nothing special or exotic, and certainly I can't see any reason why this would be an issue.

Better solution: never store unencrypted PII/PCI/PHI/etc. in the database. There are loads of tokenization solutions (Very Good Security got a bunch of buzz a couple years back) that do this, or alternatively all of the big cloud providers have key services (KMS on AWS and Google, Key Vault on Azure) so that you can ensure that every decryption attempt is tracked and logged.

If you need to search on some of this data you should use blind indexes (Google blind index for more info).

I haven't bought any NFTs and will probably not do it until I see real data on large efficiency improvements of blockchains (I'm hopeful for PoS but want real data on it).

But if I would buy one I would make very sure that it was hosted on IPFS and immedietly downloaded a version to selfhost and store. People rush into this way to blind I really think. But that is a problem with blockchains in general I guess.

You mentioned not wanting to package it for frameworks, and mentioned Svelte. I just want to point out that Svelte has native support for vanilla JavaScript and html, so this will work out of the box like any other JS library. Just want to let you know since your README suggests otherwise!

But as we see from even comments in this article, the lack of clarity around this is probably enough to chill some potential voters from participating, correctly or otherwise.
Heck, most operating systems are leaky by default.
Even openBSD, which has a stellar trackrecord in terms of security and "goes against the grain" on many decisions for the sake of secure by default (for instance, disabling hyperthreading altogether to prevent any kind of SPECTRE vulnerability) is under constant scrutiny for not being secure enough.

Maybe connecting everything to a network and making it a high value target by collecting everyone's data is just a terrible idea in the long run.

The GP was talking $500/month rather than $500/year. That's a fair bit of money. It's nearly half the wage of a US minimum wage worker (and over half their paycheck, once taxes are taken out).

Even if you get a $15 minimum wage (as some places already have), it's still asking somebody to put away 25% of what they earn. That seems very unlikely. Not impossible, but a lot of life circumstances could easily result in it being impossible.
