>Nobody is making a career out of being a warehouse associate.

The majority of people on Hacker News, yourself included (I can tell from your comments) have privilege that means we never had to consider something like making a career out of working in a warehouse. But this is absolutely a reality for alot of smart, hard working people, because they didn't have the opportunities you and me had.

If unionization didn't lead to better outcomes for workers, Bezos wouldn't care about it. If it was going to be so bad for workers, he would just let them do it and let them fail. The fact that Amazon is doing anything about it is proof that it will benefit workers.
Employees were always trying to do things the right way. JZ just wanted things done and didnt care how it was executed. If it wasn’t how they wanted it done, they’d find someone they could pay to do it.
It can be a feature, yep, although Pulsar's tiered storage (offload old data into S3 and then retrieve it if required) is far more of a feature IMO.

And BK isn't a feature without cost, it's documentation is... somewhat sparse, and there is significant complexity to maintaining it.
What is "high-intensity war" for the French armed forces?

Jacque: "Monsieur Commander, our allocation of Sauvignon Blanc 1961 for the samedi dinner has been redirected to the front!'

Claude: "Mon Dieu! Qel sorte du monde! Order the Malbec as soon as possible. Nou sommes perdues!"

"And have you made room for the bound-and-gagged ISIS prisonnières? We want to be certain they can view our leisure dining, so as to torture and tempt them to abandon their Muslim faith for a carafe of excellent vin Francais, not to mention our excellent prostitues nicoise.

Do not forget that theese is indeed high-intensity warfare and we must bring our bunker-busters to the fore in an overwhelming move to close the gap! Oh, hon, hon, hon!

Jacque: Mais Senior Commander, the 5th Brigade of the American military, the pride of Black Fighting strength, will be attending the samedi dinner,

Claude: Nous sommes perdues! Peut-etre, peut-etre...oui, I have eet! Tell the cooks to spice the Americains' meals with saltpeter! Oh, hon, hon, hon! I am not a Commander for nothing! With nightfall the French will advance with high-intensity, while ze Americains fumble with their limp pythons! Hon, hon, hon! Commander indeed!

That reads to me like the CoC was removed for reasons not related to its content, but related to views of its author.

Isn't removing the CoC because you don't agree with some views or actions of its author cancelling as well?
No, it's relevant because iOS hardware and apps practically get updated faster. iOS apps that require SVE will be an issue on Macs without SVE.
The Newlines report relies heavily on Adrian Zenz' questionable work, often directly, but also indirectly via quoting from news reporting that uses Zenz' work as its primary source. Zenz' analysis on suppressing births is questionable in particular, and is one of the central planks for the claim of genocide. And given Zenz seems to be the majority source on this topic in the Newlines report, I don't think it's too conspiratorial to doubt it also.

That being said, I haven't fully read either the State Dept.'s report, nor the Newlines report, nor all the primary documents (of course), and importantly, I do believe the treatment of the Uyghurs to be unjust. I think Saddam Hussein was an unjust ruler in Iraq also, but there was widespread misinformation and numerous lies put forth in order to justify the Iraq War (both actually, but it is perhaps more complicated to justify for the first Gulf War). We're probably not in danger of a war with China in the next decade, but if we're going to have a Cold War 2, I'd like it to be based on less questionable sources.
You can always cut off one room without encasing the entire space. Just for occasions when you need the extra safety.
SoftBank is very hands off, and the sale to Nvidia appears to be kaput.
I agree but it’s like the galaxy phone that had the battery issue. It just killed confidence with the consumer.

The investigation (and what we learned form it) into Boeing also didn’t help with confidence levels.

After a few new iterations nobody talks about the battery anymore. I’m not so sure how Boeing can turn this around relatively quickly.
Every political movement goes sideways when it gains mass popularity.

I don't know if this is because the successful narratives tend to enrich some entrenched interest, psychopaths rise to the top, negative-sum games have popular appeal, the average person isn't smart enough to fit nuanced opinions in their head, humans are herd animals, or some mix of all of these. But whatever it is, whenever any grassroots movement gains the primetime spotlight, it invariably finds the wrong answer and runs with it.

Hope and Change turned into justifying drone strikes and persecuting Snowden. The Tea Party turned into supporting the most despotic anti-American president in recent history. The recent Democratic mandate is turning into more bullshit "gun control" rather than staying focused on real hardships caused by several decades of economic destruction. The Libertarian party is teetering at the edge of cryptofascism, just waiting for a hint of power (said as a libertarian).

Trying to argue nuance with any supporters will get you labeled as an other and summarily rejected. Even right here my comment was downvoted for what? Pointing out that Black Lives Matter is intrinsically racist? It's right in the name! Perhaps some of that racism is needed for motivation, but pointing it out runs up against the cognitive dissonance of "racism" being unequivocally bad.

Seemingly the best you can do is have such discussions with friends who won't immediately write you off, although you'll often run into the same roadblock there. My own take on BLM is that it's not meant for me, and that's fine. I wish them well and hope they don't get too derailed by self-defeating means.
Guys, don't worry. Getty will slowly destroy Unsplash. They are really good at breaking things and squeezing money out of stones.
There is, ResizeObserver -> device-pixel-content-box But ATM it's Chromium browsers only.

Some examples on this page

https://webglfundamentals.org/webgl/lessons/webgl-resizing-t...

Bugs filed for other browsers but AFAICT it's not a priority for them.

Note: For a pixelated game having this info useful. Also for diagrams, as the user zooms in you'd like to be able to re-render a canvas at native resolution the same way SVG and text gets re-rendered. But, a noticeable problem is static images. You make pixelated image say, 100x50 and display it 4x like this

<img src="100x50.png" style="width: 400px; height: 200px; image-rendering: pixelated;">

But, what's the browser supposed to do with that on a screen with 1.25 devicePixelRatio? It will look like crap.
> requiring you to pay substantially for features that it’d be irresponsible to use the software in production without (e.g. geo replication via mirror maker).

MM1 and MM2 are free. You might be getting confused with Confluent Replicator.

For very limited subsets of the Kafka APIs.
`html { font-size: 62.5%; }`
`body { font-size: 1.6rem; }`

all you need. now padding, margins etc can be specified in pixels but using rems 1.2rem is 12px. 1.5rem is 15px etc. and its all based on user's base font-size.
The comment I'm replying to is a pretty hot take (maybe too hot), but IMO the real test will be when someone else tries to run a Supabase-aaS platform.

The unspoken implication of "self host" is "for yourself and no one else", but there's a bit of a difference between Supabase and the project it's using underneath -- I can absolutely run GoTrue or Postgrest aaS, but I assume that Supabase will change their minds on their license stance if someone does the same and undercuts their margins.

Why not just pick BSSL and be done with it like Sentry does -- no one gets mad at Sentry. Maybe it's the allure of getting people excited about your project and contributing to it?

Another weird thing is that projects picking AGPL (which is their right in every way) usually signals a similar intent, but AFAIK AGPL doesn't actually stop you from running an aaS, as long as you don't modify the source.

One more weird thing -- why doesn't anyone ever make a Firebase clone that is just... API-compatible with Firebase libraries? Being able to use the Firebase SDK itself but talk to a different set of cheaper servers is what everyone in this niche really wants right?
I have taken a similar stance myself (not that I'm flying anywhere these days) but, out of curiosity: do you also refuse to be a passenger in automobiles? The 737MAX is quite a bit safer than those.
Yep, I have, no issues with the consumer/producer knowing who the partition leader is.

That said, curious to hear your experiences :)
Some workloads are very CPU intensive and some are not. Being forced to scale CPU & disk together means one of them is going to be overprovisioned - often by a lot.

I'm pretty surprised Twitter didn't see benefit from doing this if they have multiple Kafka clusters with different use cases.
Speaking of which, I have a friend that still runs a Note7
How do you debug broken instances?
Please don't take my skepticism for a lack of enthusiasm!

In this case we have an article on a paper - peer reviewed or otherwise - and it's claims.

- data is limited, even taking everything they say at face value.

- my expertise is near nonexistent (like most here)

- predicting the future is hard

- past is littered with "battery breakthroughs" that has not perceptably(this is important distinction) changed life as we know it

So... skepticism it is.

I am absolutely glad this person got to do that science research.

I applaud the work taken to get here and wish all the best for them plus a bottle of [favoured beverage] on top.

I absolutely hope so much more research is done.

But until I perceive data that says otherwise, my skepticism of THIS particular article and it's ability to change any part of the world I am aware of (IE my own, my friends, my family, my social groups) remains.

In future, if a work colleague comes to work one day and says "I was affected positively by [structural battery thing]." New data = new judgement of super awesome cool!
There is lots you can do to improve the preservation of the parks, but the article suggests that that is not the current goal and that the US currently prefers to make parks available to people to enjoy with cars, mountain bikes, and skidoos.

There is always a balance between preservation and use of the parks.
I've seen that stated nowhere, but there's zero chance Amazon will compensate the NLRB for the disruption of its other work even if they asserted they'd be willing to for the core stuff.
Yeah, I know, but once you have it set up it isn't any more work. And it is a serious level of privacy (and it isn't the entire extent of my setup either) but if some alphabet soup agency wanted to find me they probably could. It's really just to protect me from data collectors and ad agencies and stuff online.

When a lot of people say "it is just too hard" what they mean to say is "I want to use services that track me." For most people, only turning on JS for web apps and not using malware as a service is all it really takes.
from what I understand a Faraday cage needs to be different sizes depending on what frequencies you want to block, and the only way to really get it all is to make it solid. I'm sure someone with more in depth knowledge is on here.
The more interesting question, left unaddressed by the article, is exactly how they were able to make the connection in the first place.

Did they parse through millions of YouTube videos cataloging every tattoo and descriptive feature then run it against any outstanding fugitive’s features?

Or was it just a decently popular cooking channel
'Section 230' and the Fair Speech Crusade
Sort of. This is really tricky to achieve with text files (where the padding necessary to make the hashes line up looks completely out of place), but many binary formats allow arbitrary padding — e.g. zip files have an index at the end. Inversely, png files have a header and ignore meaningless data at the end. Both can be padded with arbitrary data (and, indeed, you can cat a png and a zip together as a janky steganography system)

Because neither the BBC and VOA are produced by the publicity arm of a particular British or American political party.

(“But”, you say, “the PRC is structured as a one party state, so there is no difference between party media and state media.” And that's true, but not in a way which elevates the credibility of party organs, just one that degrades that of state organs compared to ones in regimes where state institutions have some institutional protection against partisan patronage. Which is not to say that state institutions are ever neutral sources on the interests of their own state, just that even among structurally biased sources there are still different levels of unreliability.)
I did a lot of kernel development with GCP instances. Having the serial port enabled me to use a remote debugger and made it super great.
Also ban smartphones. This would repel the other 50% who are only there with their narcisticks taking selfies for their Insta.
I think X10 should really push their products with the privacy preservation agenda - https://www.x10.com

Connected remote controllable devices are useful, but letting them access the net is intolerable. X10 is a decent compromise as long as they promise not to internet their devices.
I got my machine from a local company that does the monitoring and configuration by mailing an SD card back and forth. I suspect my sleep patterns still end up in a database somewhere but at least it’s not real-time.

The insurance company will also be a lot less antsy about monitoring if you buy the machine out-of-pocket, which brings up another issue with pervasive IOT: opting out is, if even possible, more expensive, making it potentially yet another modern method of class striation.
The allies were well aware about the genocide even before 1942 from escapees reports, the Polish underground and reconnaissance and bombing missions.

From 1942 to 1943 British intelligence intercepted and decoded radio messages , which included daily prisoner returns and death tolls for ten concentration camps, including Auschwitz.
It's not a matter of trusting the signer. Every commit includes the hash of its parent, and thus the combined hashes of all its ancestors. Signing just the last commits signs the entire chain.
Okay, I can see that point, but is it worth the additional latency between broker and Bookie?

Yeah, I think they were too tbh. I wish I could delve more into what they experienced beyond that single blog post I linked.

I don't know much about "Neo-classical economist" circles, but you seemed to be saying something about comparisons to Valve's Steam product. Beyond that, it only seemed like you might be implying the entitlement to sell software on Apple's devices. You certainly didn't /said/ that "Apple have massive market power that they are abusing".

I thought my question was pretty straight forward, and it seems like your answer is full of deflection and vitriol. Fair enough- we're on an internet message board after all.

But I sure wish you'd draw the line somewhere. Do you feel entitled to sell software on Apple's platform or not? Do you feel equally entitled to sell software on my cable box? my car's dashboard? my thermostat?

>From Google Trends data, we see very few searches for “COVID” between January 1 2020 and February 20, 2020 in the United States

Well, the name "COVID" wasn't even coined by the WHO until 11 February 2020.

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...

You should compare the search terms coronavirus, nCoV, and Wuhan. (Although "Wuhan virus" now is a term only used by Trump supporters, for a while even Wikipedia had the name as "Wuhan coronavirus".)

Also, it's weird that I got downvoted for this entirely factual comment.
On Windows using .Net Core makes this fairly trivial.

You basically install the .Net Core SDK and then run these commands to create your first executable:

dotnet new
dotnet build
dotnet run

And I suspect it is the same on the other platforms

Here is an simple console example with more detail:

Doesn't always work (may work for your use case). There are edgecases in the browser where at an HTML level the browser computes a CSS size but at compositing level (where devicePixelRatio is used) it might have clip by pixel here or there.

And example, lets say your windows 99 device pixel wide and a DRP of 2.0 and lets say you ask for 2 side by side elements (via flexbox or whatever) each width:50%. At the HTML level the browser will compute there are 49.5 CSS pixels available. It will then compute the size of each 50% as 24.25 CSS pixels but in order to fill the 99 pixels, one of those 2 elements has to be 50 pixels and the other 49. There is no part of the spec that says which side gets 50 and which get 49. Most browser compute 50 for both sides, the pass it up their compositor which will use 50 pixels of one and 49 of the other. The point is, you can't know which one will get which by doing CSSpx * dpr.

This is why ResizeObserver device-pixel-content-box was added. So that you can ask the browser what it did.
Shut them down and mount the volume on a new host.
I don’t have issues per se as long as I stick to librdkafka but even that is constantly playing catch up.

Outside of librdkafka and jvm client, it’s gloves off.
The last 30% of internet usage is work related stuff (checking email, issues for our internal git, time entry, etc. stuff that’s only available to “approved” browsers).

To make guix system work I had to compile my own proprietary kernel and build an installation image for it. Afterwards I’ve only had minor software and driver issues. I even have steam running now.

So I hear you and through stumpwm I guess I get to work with structured data for window management. It isn’t typed but windows are represented as objects to be manipulated. Thanks to the repl I can change window behavior on the fly and have it reflected immediately.

Guix provides structured ways of manipulating system services and configurations. Most of that stuff has an interface with scheme records.

For instance my sddm configuration is a scheme record that gets tangled (for lack of a better word) into a text file.

With guix one can also use g-expressions to write configurations or execute programs in a monad of some sort.

It isn’t typed but the setup is far from unstructured.

> That old post has a heavy emphasis on the problem being "undocumented features", which is absurd, since most Microsoft products have undocumented features.

Context is important here. As part of anti-trust deal, MS had to document all APIs and file formats, and there was a massive internal effort to do so. Basically it’s not allowed to call non-public APIs from one MS product to another. On top of that there was massive security push when entire Windows division stopped working on new version and concentrated on security of XP for many months.

After these traumas there was no way Easter eggs would survive.
"Fall; or, Dodge in Hell"? Is it worth reading? I think I've read only his Cryptonomicon, which was sort or good for a first half, and then rolling downhill ending with something so pompously pathetic I had to cringe sometimes.
I sympathize with the engineers there.

It's like a bug that will not go away in some software. You think you've fixed it and all seems well and you get a good nights sleep with the gleam of satisfaction in your eyes.

But the next day your manager says "That bug is still there".

You incredulously do not believe that bug report and go to replicate it yourself.

And surely, under some edge weird case scenario, it really happened.

You put the fix in and uneasily sleep the next night. You actually dreamed about the issue. And wake the morning with no reports.

Over the next weeks and months, its all good. No new reports. and your mind has turned to some new projects. Surely that bug has been squashed.

And then one day...

I feel their pain. It's not the same, because lives and reputations are at stake. It's so much worse.But I feel their pain.

People who claim to reason from moral axioms are usually hypocritical in special cases, or evil in special cases. If you observe the behavior of someone who believes in moral axioms, you will find that they will go back and change their axioms (at best) or ignore them, when they lead to a conclusion that goes against their natural moral intuitions. Otherwise (I have never seen someone do this, but I guess it's possible) they would be "evil in special cases," going against their conscience and probably doing something bad, just because they made a mistake in choosing their moral axioms long before the special case arose.

It's very common in philosophy (and the sciences, too) to find that the axioms lead to the wrong answer, and as a result say "oops, they must be wrong," and pick different axioms. In that case, though, the flow of epistimophlogiston is going from empiricism back to axioms, not from axioms to conclusions.
If children bring up wanting to do hard drugs, and they talk with parents, doctors and psychologists, and still want to do it, should we let them? Hell no! They’re not mature enough to really understand the life long consequences. And so many people make bad choices during their emotional and hormone fueled teen years, that alone should be a check against making permanent changes.
