This is a straight up racist comment.

Had you said "This is the most authoritarian thing I've seen" that'd be fine. But the racists in the 1800s were using "Chinese" or "yellow" as derogatives to liken things not related to Chinese culture at all.
I wonder how OCR would perform on this script. Could it decipher as easily as we can?
It's not mocking, but rather pointing out that they're doing the exact opposite of what they claim authority for, and are thereby false. We have to stop contributing to this idea that these crimes are some exceptional behavior apart from their norm - they've chosen the Punisher as their symbol because violating the law is the straightforward way to obtain what they perceive as justice.

Only the ones who speak up against (or ideally arrest) their corrupt coworkers deserve to be called Law Enforcement Officers. If the rest stopped existing, law and order would actually increase.

That´s doomsday rhetoric. All doomsday cults have one thing in common, they´ve all been wrong. 100%. The climate doomsday cult is no different.
That seems like an oxymoron. Isn't it considered detaining someone as soon as a cop goes up to someone and asks questions like "can I see your press pass?"?
Practically? As long as they can delay it.
Without reading the article, if your people are doing all the work then by definition you are not worthwhile, and probably shouldn't feel that way.
This tired argument is paraded out by politicians every single time it comes up.
Yes, but that's the opposite denominator from usual. If I say I got 50% more apples from my trees this year, I can only really mean (this_year - last_year)/last_year = 50% (i.e. 1.5 times as many).
But would anyone have taken those accusations against main stream media if they didn't hold water?

Not at all rationalizing his actions. Trump is and was a puppet and a parasite, but let's not blind ourselves to the whole truth.

The media and many "journalists" are a huge part of the overall problem. The incentives to subverting the truth or aiding others in doing so is far too high.
It really tempts you to write calligraphically.
This is the standard content protection mechanism on pretty much every DRM download/streaming/whatever system in the world. Each app/movie/whatever is encrypted with a per-app key (so you can stick it in a CDN). Then each device has some kind of private certificate or key. When the user buys/rents content, you send the content key encrypted with the device key. This is how pretty much every game console, streaming service, etc does it.

There are global keys, which are used for system software. iOS used to be encrypted as a whole (not any more though, but the SEP firmware and iBoot still are) and getting those keys is tricky, as they are baked into hardware and different for each generation. You can build hardware so it lets you decrypt content or subkeys with a key, but not access the key material itself; if done properly (it often isn't done properly), that can mean you can only use the devices as an oracle (decrypt anything, but only directly on-device) unless you spend a lot of time and money reverse engineering the baked-in hardware key using a scanning electron microscope.

Unity made a better utilization of widescreen displays by having taskbar (dock; called launcher) moved to left but retaining notification indicators in a top panel which also functioned as integrated menu and title bar for maximized applications. (Meaning no vertical space was wasted.) The dash was also arguably more useful than the start menu. You had one single utility which looked for both programs to run and files. Also closely related to Dash, Unity offered HUD which was a way to search through menus and change system options. (HUD was similar to Humanized Enso.)

It's interesting to compare with a default XFCE4. You have a quick launcher which is pointlessly distinct from the taskbar, taskbar is at top wasting vertical space, and also maximized windows have their title and menu bar wasting even more.

Also what you mean with _traditionally designed desktop_? Unity takes inspiration from Mac OS (dock, global menu) which had a desktop-oriented metaphor and predates any popular desktop environment.
I have to subvocalize to read the quote, which I don't normally do. But once I do it's easy to read. I wonder what that says about language processing.
As far as I can tell, considering that you are planning to migrate a multi-tenant application, you are pretty much ready to go. One step you should be careful is to make sure that all your queries include the tenantId filter.

There is a step-by-step documentation for migrating multi-tenant apps to Citus, which might help you to decide how much ready you are for a migration: https://docs.citusdata.com/en/latest/develop/migration.html#...

Quite a different part if the audio space, but yes that is quite a cool software tool. I watched the video from the main page.

Seems like you could very easily put together a scripted fiction show, with no actors!

Also there’s an API and cli tool so you could auto generate dialogue.

Not sure how much I like the idea of everything being computer generated, I mostly like actors, I can see it being useful in drafting up something quickly, a bit like a website mock-up, but for scripted dialogue.
Just like real world programming in C is hardly memory corruption free, and only around 10% of survey answers keep asserting to use any kind of memory assurance tooling.
I'm sorry that my computer setup offends you.
I live in Germany and it's true, German police uses their guns seldomly. I guess that there are two reasons for this

* Police force here is especially trained to de-escalate
* We don't have liberal gun laws; when a police officer has to deal with somebody, it is highly unlikely that this person ever pulls a gun.

That all does not mean that German police doesn't have problems. For example just a few weeks ago eight policemen beat up a 15 your old. Or deaths in police custody. Or they constantly turn a blind eye to right wing crimes. Or the police fore themselves is soaked with right wing activists. The list goes on.
Good to know that you don't take it the bad way. All the best for Rust efforts.

> Hum, in principle you can do arbitrary compile time transformations to the datagraph before submitting it via metaprogramming.

I would find that to be great, but I don't understand how.

In e.g.

while(i) {
co_await sch.schedule(std::chrono::milliseconds(100));
co_await w.write(--i);
}

how can you get a meaningful "graph" object out of that,
e.g.

[wait 100] -> [write 9] -> [wait 100] -> [write 8] -> ...

without actually "running" the code first to go through the co_await, which are the only way to acquire the information of what is to run ?

for instance, let's say that I want to compute "statically" (not in the "at compile time" sense but in the "after knowing the inputs to the program and before actually running the scheduler") how many [write] calls there are to schedule (assuming no cycles / infinite loops).
The underlying paper is at https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.00352 , discussed here about 3 weeks ago at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26630385 (19 comments).
This needs to be seen in a larger context. The police have been actively harassing citizens since the protests began.

Endless low-altitude helicopters circling over neighborhoods:

https://minnesotareformer.com/2021/02/09/endless-helicopter-...

Mass arrests and harassment of peaceful protesters. Including my niece. People are picked up by the police, but not 'booked' until 9-10 hours later, and they sometimes have unexplainable injuries by the time they are booked. Cell phones are confiscated as evidence; good luck getting it back in less than 5 years.

Police are not the good guys. This is not the country I was taught to believe in.
> Well now you're deep into Terraform or CloudFormation, setting up API Gateway, building an authorizer, coming up with an API Schema, wiring up everything with IAM, setting up Route 53 and Certificate Manager, building CloudWatch Dashboards, etc etc.

No, not really. You only use any of that if that's what you want to do. You can use a EC2 instance and do everything yourself, if that's your thing.

I mean, let's go through your list. CloudFormation is just infrastructure as code. It helps treat your deployments as cattle, but you aren't forced to use it, right? And you only need an API gateway if you want to put together an API using Amazon's proprietary stuff. Nothing forces you to do that, right? And you only need Route53 if you feel the need to manage a DNS and do stuff as DNS-based routing. And dashboards is just to show metrics in a way that fits your need.

From these services, which ones are a must-have? None.

> Back in days past you'd rent a hosted server (...)

Your "back in the day" is "right now" if you want to. You can fire up an EC2 instance, open a port, and done. Why are you leaving this out, and instead opt to misrepresent extras as required?

Hell, AWS also offers lightsail, and you can use S3 to run static sites directly. Both are far simpler than managing your own VM or baremetal service. Why are you leaving that out?

And why do you leave out the fact that with API Gateway and lambdas you can setup a fully versioned API with multiple endpoints in a few minutes? You don't even need to deploy anything as you can write the controllers for each route directly in the dashboard. If reaching an MVP instantly is what you really want, it's weird you leave that out.

> No such thing exists in today's era of subscription-model infrastructure.

I regret to tell you that you don't know what you're talking about. Even in AWS, where they try to upsell you everything, you can easily ramp up a VM, open a port, and do everything you need by ssh-ing into a linux box. And AWS is not alone on it. You can do the same on pretty much any cloud vendor. Say Hetzner: you can rent a baremetal box for around 30€ a month and leave it at that. If you prefer VMs you can get one for 3€ month. What's stopping you?

Personally I love observablehq and cannot use it at work as it's all sensitive information. I'd love to replace big chunks of administration/maintenance/inspection/reporting ui/scripts/whatnot with live notebooks.

Best option atm seems to be Pluto or Jupyter.

ObservableHQ like instance with some basic auth controls would be perfect.
It's true that the fix is usually simple.

It's also true that you can't usually put the case back together after you've gotten the damn thing apart and found the problem. At least, not unless you already had a case to practice on....

This would be an excellent opportunity for Joe Biden to show what kind of president he is, clearly the behavior of the police is unacceptable but what to do if the police doesn't care.

But frankly I don't think he will do much. About the only two things I can recall being reported from Biden are tripping when entering a plane and him calling the lifting of the restrictions in Texas a huge mistake.

> In my experience, dedicated threads only makes sense in very specific use cases. Like dealing with APIs which have thread affinity, or when you want OS to prioritize stuff.

well, yes, those are things that happen fairly often. e.g. there's a lot of work on optimizing code for various arm big.LITTLE things, where you have some algorithm that you want to make sure runs on the "big" cores.
I recently decided to get a Note again for the S-Pen experience, but I keep seeing the ReMarkable mentioned and I'm considering it, but I can't really justify it since I don't actually write that much, I just like the idea of having "electronic paper". What would you say about the device?
Probably it is manual because they need to take bets and decide what to pay out on. If they get it wrong, they lost a lot of money and/or credibility. To be totally sure, DYOR.

There is no way they can trust scraped data. Especially when you can have different matches with slightly different names. For example U21 version of A vs B for a givens sport (learned that the hard way when arbing!).
Adults are old enough and capable enough to be trusted to make their own decisions. That's pretty much the definition of being an adult.

I'd recommend cardio workouts with stretching/cooldown routine, for example, Fitness Blender on youtube. Also, for me it helped to understand that relaxation in some circumstances can be an active engagement action where you have to "remind your muscles to relax". marban's comment seems on point to me, too.
The signals I get are weird. Sometimes I feel guilty for not getting enough work done so I compensate by doing chores or other low-priority things.

I’m going to try my best to power through. Mostly because I think I can get through it, but also for financial reasons. I might DM you about that call if I remember tomorrow. I’ve been honest about what I’m going through when I talk to friends, but none seem to understand what it’s like. I really appreciate the offer.

This is a tu qoque rationalization, but at this point I could care less.

We're already being tracked & targeted by people we should've been able to trust.

We've all seen the damage that anonymity can do. I changed my mind. I used to support EFF.org in many of their stances, but at this point it seems inevitable that everyone will be forced out into the open online and forced to use their real identity online to put an end to the endless information warfare.

Unless someone can convince me that all this garbage we have going on now is somehow worth hanging onto. I'm open minded, but dudes and dudettes... what in the actual fuck is going on with social media, bot nets, people with dozens or more accounts manipulating online reviews and swaying elections in favor of nazis.

It has to end.

Because once the data collection starts it only grows, it never gets smaller. They also never just grab a few flags but everything the environment allows them to take and employ "growth hackers" to find more.

I believe it is very possible.

My android phone often asks how did I like this or that shop. Sometimes I was just passing by those shops but on average the phone is quite correct which shops I have visited.

Google knows when you are in the pharmacy and might use a different routine interpreting ambient sounds when you are there. Voltarol (ibuprofen gel) is a distinct sound that even very lossy algorithm with low level of processing power can distinguish with a sufficient level of accuracy.
It’s not a gish gallop, it’d have to be claims not supporting a single thesis or hard to refute. Each of these is a small claim directly relevant. If you could find even 2-3 to refute that’d do.

The problem with fallacies is they are not always clear when and how to apply, which creates a whole new fallacy where people mis-apply fallacies to try and “win” quickly (is there a name for this? The fallacy fallacy?)

A good faith argument would at least call out one or two incorrect points here.

Can we calculate how many bits of entropy we are saving in this compressed form? There seems to be (n-2)! ways of writing a word in a different way that is still readable.
Environmental regulations, like air quality, water treatment is a lot tougher these days. Air and water quality has been improving for the past 7 years. These days a lot of people are giving approvals for increase environmental quality, though much work has to be done. I feel people outside don't understand how china's political system works at all. We support democracy, it's just that we think there could be different governance structures to achieve democracy and more effective governance. A lot of people, like environmental scientists, are in position of power to make changes to regulations and policy. At the same time, we are doing things to mitigate negatives of climate regulations such as increasing hassle, more costs to businesses and so on that climate regulations deniers use as excuses. It's very comprehensive.
"Chinese" isn't a race, it's a nationality, and in this context clearly referring to the Chinese government in particular.
Solar. Easy peasy.
I think people fail to accept that it’s not a difference in police culture but a difference in gun culture. Consider that Switzerland has far more guns per capita than does the US and their gun crimes and gun related violence are very low.
I don’t understand this shitting on open source software. Criticism would be okay, but a click-bait article with some easily debunked falsities on a not even released version, just seems to be in bad faith.

> Gnome doesn't show you the overview of your open apps or any application shortcuts on its desktop. You need to open Activities - an extra mouse click - before they are shown

It does, that is like the core feature of gnome. Maybe his/her version was buggy, but it did work even in the Fedora beta version I tried.

> Worse, as I outlined a dozen times over in multiple Fedora reviews, Firefox cannot be minimized, at all, with or without the titlebar

Wanting to minimize windows is great and all, but Gnome is a very opinionated software. Where on earth would a minimized window go? It has no tray by default. Minimized windows reappear in overview, so they clutter the screen just as much. Gnome is different is hardly a valid criticism. Feel free to use something else where minimized windows is part of the workflow. I doubt many would bring up lack of minimized windows on a tiling wm for example.

> The fonts still use the Grayscale hinting rather than subpixel (LCD); the latter offers far better results.

It can be set in Tweaks (I do agree that more settings should be exposed, but that’s another problem), which the author must be aware of as it was used for other things. Also, grayscale is the safe fallback, as not every screen would benefit from subpixel.

> Desktop scaling

Gnome Tweaks. Maybe looking around before writing an article would have been great.. It does work well under Wayland but is not enabled by default due to XServer apps becoming blurry on fractional scaling (since X has no such concept, it gets rendered at 2X and is then downscaled).
