I think the difference might be that war violence is a public event and sexual intimacy is a private one.

Or it could be even simpler and more practical than that, most children don’t have weapons, but they do have human bodies.

Perhaps Apple thinks that the risk of seeming prude is worth it to prevent some kid from falling into sexual abuse and the bigger risk of mom and dad not letting them shop freely for apps.
You could opt to improve upon the standard practice, right? I have only played with Demo a little, but the deps file seems only like a convention rather than a strict rule.

Why not instead create a deps directory, and keep in it one file per dependency? Inside each file, you re-export the library from URL.

This way you can import from files rather than URLs elsewhere in your code, and it should be clear which dependency is being imported from the file name itself.

I had to deal with this issue about a month ago. It was surprising, as I didn't know that it made the OPTIONS call, and I've been working with webservers and HTML/JS for at least a decade.
That's basically what the author suggests when they say:

> Anyhow, I truly believe humanity has to rollback to operating at a human scale.

It's impossible to operate a complaints-platform on a global scale if it's run by humans. According to GMI [0],
500 hours of content are uploaded every minute.

Given an average video duration of about 12 minutes [1], that would be 2500 videos per hour. That's just too much to manually review and handle complaints.

Having written both imperative and having written a lot of FP code in Scheme, I somehow find the passing of lambdas to be more readable by now.

I think it is a matter of individual taste or matter of what one has used a lot recently. I like to be able to minimalize the things I need to keep in mind at one moment. The lambdas are in themselves sort of units of code, which I can look at separately, without considering the path, how the execution of the code gets there. They do not have side-effects except for printing something (lets not be too strict, but yes OK that's a side-effect as well, but it has to live somewhere). If only I give these lambdas to other procedures in the right places, then if the lambda is correct, the whole will work correctly. I can focus on that one lambda or generalized I can focus on that one expression, instead of keeping the surrounding code in mind.

Such kind of style makes it simple to copy paste expressions and be sure, that they work the same in a different place. For which I actually like the parentheses a lot (again an individual preference), because they are natural markers for start and end of an expression and I can have a key binding, which allows me to copy, cut, wrap, replace, whatever, that expression. This also applies to forms like lets or bindings introduced in lets, so even smaller parts than whole expressions. Basically ease of code editing.
How is that sad? Do you think the CEO and shareholders approved that deal because their hearts are so good and pure, to help humanity? No, it was to become a vaccine manuf. in a time of pandemic, to make big bucks (since at cost sales end in August this year).

Oxford scientists came up with the vaccine and the deal to manufacture it with a partner. It looked like a great deal until it turned out that AZ is completely incompetent.
"The company says the agreed cut-off point for data was 17 February, by which time there had been 141 cases and efficacy was 79%. Within 48 hours, AstraZeneca had added more recent data. On a total of 190 cases, there was 76% efficacy (and as always 100% against severe illness and death). It’s not much of a difference." [0]

“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” -- Francis Bacon

Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book provides a decent framework for dealing with the variety of books out there. There are also tools like Polar[1] that provide an easy way to do incremental reading[2] which may help when attacking a book piece by relevant piece.

> Decide for yourself, whether this article is worth your time.

Did you even read the article? It goes into a deep dive on AssemblyScript and WASM including discussions on Rust’s std::vec and Go’s slices, bump allocators, TurboFan/Sparkplug/Ignition/Liftoff benchmarks, and -O3 versus -O3s flags and contains links to a pull request to try to help with one of the noticed performance issues.

This is a well-written dive into the technology, writing it off because you don't like the definition of "strongly typed" in this sentence is a bit premature.
> It does appear as if this government really does not want freelancing to be a viable option.

This is the key. Freelancers earning their living on the internet are not inherently dependent on government and are much more likely to support opposition and fight back against the corrupt government.

It's easy to control people working in overblown administration or public/government sector, or in companies working for them, but controlling free financially independent people not afraid of dying of hunger if they oppose is not that easy.
BTC was never meant to be used to purchase groceries (transaction fees + limitation on the number of tx/s). There are other cryptos which (could) do that very well, however. But large bank transfer may be convenient with Bitcoin: have you ever purchased a used car, not for $500USD, but for $10k+? Arguably, it's a legal, but definitely an edge case. Just giving an example :-)

Speculation is one thing, but BTC is going nowhere and in a world hit by an incoming significant inflation, many have understood that Bitcoin is simply an easy place where to safeguard your wealth if the outlook is at least +5 years, not days / months. That's why people buy Bitcoins at the moment.

Yes I read it. Lots of abstract talk about modularity and how SQL is so bad because people tend to use all caps without demonstrating how and what this whole new programming language can do better.

Note that I'm not claiming it can't do but I would be interested for the authors to point out what the actual benefits are.

All I see from their examples that clauses in Logica are much longer than SQL counterparts and that they are importing modules which (I assume) re-define already defined schemas which brings all kinds of different dependency problems that I'm not going to go in here..
> The fact that Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt have won so many medals without (hopefully) juicing or bribing officials is great, and maybe even a cause for celebration for the human race, but it absolutely does not mean that anyone can do those things.

My almost 70 years old dad uses Pass for iOS in his everyday life. He does not have a clue about what's going on under the hood (gpg, git, my instance of gitea where it pushes to, me being able to intervene or fix stuff from somewhere else than his phone, etc.), but thats fine for both of us. He even complained, when I suggested to try Nextcloud Passwords because he might understand better what's going on there. So I guess in terms of UX this is a positive example.
I’d be shocked if the best and the brightest that Alphabet can buy can’t figure out a reputation system, manually-reviewed with AI assistance, or some other way to approve content in a convenient manner.

Don’t forget also that Alphabet is swimming in money. They can certainly afford the manpower to make it relatively seamless for the user. And I really doubt users can’t be trained to associate a few hours’ wait of a completely new, reputationless user, or a user who is using an unknown device or VPN, with a better quality of site experience because the videos are screened.
God, your response is too long, too rambling, and would take too much time to refute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop . But here I am having wasted half an hour anyway.

You're doing the same thing you accuse them of doing, using online videos (apparently Chinese-sanctioned ones!) to claim things aren't happening. Sure things look nice there, but I would question if these video makers are being sponsored by China, or being lead through a Potemkin village: https://theprint.in/opinion/china-is-paying-foreign-journali... (yeah, random link from a Google result, very trustworthy). If I were the Chinese government, I'd find the few people who are willing to say my version of the story, and lead the Youtubers to them.

Even the Malay vlogger wrote in her captions that her friend got into an incident where police asked her to take off her Muslim garment, and the friend seemingly able to get away with keeping it on because she was foreign... how is that not religious oppression? In her vlog I see mostly Han Chinese, and she even added a part where she said people around her are asking each other why she has a headscarf on.

And how do you explain this lady's experience? Did the CIA/western propagandists pay here to write this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/12/uighur-xinjian...

Anyway, your long response haven't convinced me that the CCP aren't doing oppression in Xinjiang. I'm not going to defend the "1 in 12" number, nor can I defend the maybe exaggerated Western media reports you have read, but my guess is the oppression is done in a hushed way that you won't see it by walking into a Grand Bazaar.

That would solve all of our problems, wouldn't it? Too bad there's likely always going to be someone willing to offer the same service for free + ads and/or selling users data. Unless people start valuing their privacy/data much more than they do at the moment (or regulation comes in), it's just wishful thinking.
I've worked on automotive and that was definitely C++, to a very deep level
I had a fully loaded P15 three years ago - I can't really comment on trackpad - I only use it in rare situations like traveling and doing work in a coffee shop where I can't really pull out a mouse. Keyboard was great but then again I use a BT keyboard and an external monitor 90% of the time anyway. I switched from that machine to a fully loaded i9 2018 MBP - and while that's more portable and has a better screen the thermals and the performance is waay off, not to mention this thing sounds like a jet plane about to take off as soon as I start a VM and play a video. Also the keyboard is utter garbage in comparison.

It's a chunky device and I haven't checked out the lates ones, but if I wanted a portable workstation with a great keyboard I would get another one for sure. Right now I'm leaning towards getting a desktop and a ultraportable I can use to SSH to the desktop when I need to work on the go - but the HW market is a joke right now, I'm probably going to wait it out till Q3/Q4.
It definitely won't be able to break the WASM sandbox, so my guess is that AssemblyScript itself adds runtime checks of its own and that this is a hint that we don't need those.
The studios' US branches are usually nicer than the Japan ones; Nintendo is the rare US branch that's just as mean.

it is definitely a problem, not with all research, but there is plenty of high profile research that has never released their data.

The UA study that gets cited so much for showing the U.S. has effectively the highest mass gun killing events in the world, for example, never released their dataset. This is a study that was referenced by the president, even.
Just never ever speak out or hold an opinion on anything which differs from the current orthodoxy and you'll be fine.

Also, try and become obsessed with the antics of the various zzz-elebrities provided for your entertainement and train yourself to communicate entirely through emojis, 'likes' and animated GIFs. This way you'll soon find yourself unable to communicate one of your 'wrongthink' ideas. Even if you wanted to.
The problem is that you assume that services/projects that contribute more value gets more donations (or vice-versa) while the donations mostly come in based on how well you market the service/project instead.
I am not American nor Russian. I don't care about world news. I only replied to this post because ycombinator has been showing political news being on front page lately and that is irritating. The comments shows how blind the Americans are on how people view them.

I hope ycombinator bans or outright delete this kinds of post.
> Distributed computing for hire.

So I've been doing this for a couple decades now: You create an ad tag that does some work, and you buy some impressions. You then get to "hire" thousands or millions of compute-nodes around the world to do some work. Tooling to split up the work into ad tags is just something I've accumulated in the while.

The real trick I think would be allowing users to join the (ad) network as an audience-of-one that we can pay directly, and my thinking is it was always less of a technical problem than a tax/legal problem. If you (or anyone) think this part of the problem is easy you should get in touch.

That’s seems like a bit draconian.

There is no “safe drug”, “unsafe drug”. It’s a continuum and it’s balanced by the benefit.

The title should be "Chrome as a Service. Access DevTools anywhere, even on mobile."

Bug reports, crashes, doesn't work on browser/device/platform are appreciated!

It's not open-source but one major part is open-source[1]

I'm sorry about the DevTools front-end on Safari iOS. It doesn't work right now, and it would take a lot more work, I guess, that I put into integrating DevTools itself (~1 day) to make it work there.

I searched for issues related to Safari on DevTools @ CrBug, perhaps not surprisingly, there were none, so I opened one[0]

Any tips about the UX/UI particularly on mobile I really appreciate. I know a lot of things on mobile probably seem really unintuitive. I don't know how to fix that right now.

I made this basically because I want it to exist. I thought I was making it for "business reasons", but I realize that deep down, I'm just doing this for me. I want there to be a "browser console" that you can access on the web, that's just like a browser, but...more. I want to do many things with this, and I need these layers to do them, so...I built it. Or rather, I'm building it. HOPE YOU ENJOY! :) ;p xx

I have friends who have been accused online of being “cultural marxists” by right wing students because they corrected the students’ misunderstanding of the history of slavery and the civil war.

It is worth keeping in mind that this author have a strong opinion and wrote this article himself. Clearly he isn’t going to present these ideas in a positive light.
I have two 24" 1920x1200 (16:10) monitors at work, one of them rotated 90 degrees. I previously had to 24" 1920x1080 (16:9) monitors in the same configuration, and 16:10 is far preferable imo. The 1080 pixel width is often just a little too narrow for comfortable browsing (causing mobile layouts to be used or horizontal scrolling to be necessary), and I haven't had any of that since switching to the 16:10 monitors.

My home (and home office) setup is 14" 1920x1080 laptop + 24" 2560x1440 screen (1x scaling), and I like that a lot, too. The WQHD screen is wide enough to have two things open side by side, which can feel cramped on FHD, while also having sufficiently many vertical pixels.
What reason do I have to trust the government? They have a long history of spying, abusing human rights, corruption, and ignoring the populace.

When interacting with a rando, there is a pretty good chance they are a "good person". They are polite and not trying to harm me in any way.

When interacting with the government, there is a very high chance I am dealing with a "bad" person. The government is filled with corrupt, selfish people who have a long history of harming others.

Its a simple risk calculation. I'm going to minimize my exposure to an entity that can jail, kill, steal from, or otherwise harm me with impunity.
>Now, once they reach a certain scale, why are they allowed to operate like a "normal small company"?

There was and is a push to make them behave more like a utility (i.e. a platform). Mainstream media, along with a major political party, are on a crusade to make these tech platform be more and more of an editor because they like that currently their competition (in case of media) and political rivals (in case of Democrats) are bearing the brunt of the censorship.

And you can see this push even here on HN with constant references to how evil Facebook and Twitter is because memes on those platforms caused Hillary to lose in 2016, and therefore how misinformation is such a big problem that more censorship is needed. I don't know how you fix that. These platforms didn't want to do this. They got bullied into it.
Autovectorization is the kind of magic you can't rely on. It sort of works on a single platform but you will always run into cases it doesn't handle even if you own your own team of autovectorization engineers who tell you it's perfect.

But a bad actor can only do so much if manual reviews are involved. If they’re a completely new account because their previous accounts have been banned, accessing on a new device because their previous Alphabet-surveilled fingerprint had been banned, or on a VPN because their IP has been banned, YouTube could just implement manual review which would slow such a bad actor down. And if the intent is to clog up the manual review process with whatever copies of a single illegal video Alphabet we already have technology that is used to automatically identify specific videos or images and remove them, usually for purposes of preventing the spread of illegal depictions of children.

Glad you like it! Don't worry too much as we currently have a workaround. Their SDK still allows us to build kernel modules but the installation experience now requires manually switching the package post installation to allow root access .

I do! And I think node has a lot of flaws (Ryan seems to agree).

I do not understand why deno has gone for this route. It seems primed to produce a package manager eventually, and it seems like a bad idea to leave package manager creation down to whoever makes the first decent tool (which is mostly why npm is the standard for node.)

>T460s

:barf: I upgraded from a T430s (great machine for it's time) to a T460s.

the T460s wasn't very good, the track pad was awful, the trackpoint was a new low profile and incredibly stiff style that had no alternative cap styles for it, if you got the innolux display you where fucked (had to replace it with an after market LCD due to the bad colours and viewing angles on an IPS panel). Ram was also soldered.

The only two good things I can say about the T460s was it was incredibly light and the keyboard was my favourite laptop keyboard, it just felt right.
Just because I learned this stuff 15 years ago doesn't mean I wouldn't need to relearn it exactly as I did back then.

Surprise, I never needed to manually balance a binary tree for work, and mostly people don't. So I don't see how "it's easy and free to (re)learn" says anything when hardly any software developer who didn't just graduate a year ago remembers this stuff by heart.

Also I'd like to think I know enough about most data structures to recognize where they make sense and to get into implementing using them quickly. But quickly doesn't mean "all of them" or "during the interview" or even "preparing everything in the utmost detail as they would ask without reference material". Teachers also don't explain complicated stuff without preparation, unless it's the material they do every year for many years.
