"Capitalism" is not merely a short-hand for "trade"; it's also a theory of capital. And its shortcomings are numerous: not only the ones you describe (externalities, exploitation of addictive behavior), but also game-theoretic races to the bottom, rent-seeking behavior, conflating capital with land [0], zero-sum positional goods, quasi-sociopathic corporations, the list goes on.

Your core point is a good one: trade tends to be mutually beneficial, and good policies of ownership design [1] incentivize net-positive wealth creation. But there's a lot of good and bad ideas (and ideology) wrapped up in "capitalism" as such; it's worth teasing them all apart independently rather than the simple "Capitalism: Y/N" stances that pervade the discourse. I'm frankly ready to banish the words "capitalism" and "socialism" from our vocabulary entirely; they're simply not helpful.

Mandatory password changes never made any sense. It's especially terrible when systems don't allow users to re-use previous passwords.

It forces users to keep inventing new passwords which they can never remember, then they end up writing the passwords on post-it-notes and sticking them on their computer screens where everyone can see.

Same issue with forcing people to use special characters in their passwords; it makes people choose passwords that they can't remember.

I've used systems where the situation became so out of control that I literally had to go through the entire 'forgot your password' (reset password) flow every single time I wanted to log in. That was the fastest way for me to log into that service.
Nice tool. I also use a tool to transcribe podcasts to text https://audext.com/, because I often find it difficult to perceive information by ear.

I see pdfjs.enableScripting in about:config options. Have to check whether that option disables this scripting after I get the new version.
Firefox is not a product of the 800lb gorilla of targeted ad revenue. The Mozilla foundation could live without the ad revenue tied 3rd party cookies. They feel pressure from their users (people like us) who want to not be tracked everywhere, and ending the use of 3rd party cookies is one technical step.

At some point in the past year it seems the privacy concerns reached a critical mass. The Mozilla foundation is responding in ways to keep its browser share relevant.

> But then the name of the function is somewhat tied to its inner workings.

Not necessary tied to it's inner workings but more tied to how you should use it. There are good reasons that a function might not cache it's value -- maybe because you want that fresh data each time. The name is the signal to the user how they should use it. I expect an "Instances" property to give me the same values each time. However with "FetchInstances()" I would store that result in my own variable if I want to keep referring to those instances.

> What if you change the implementation so that it returns a cached value?

That's a different function then. The semantics have changed significantly.
This is the New York Times we are talking about. Literally everything is within their reporting purview. Who can they possibly accept money from that won't present a potential conflict of interest?
It would have to vary pretty heavily by film camera model, and many probably can't be nondestructively modified that way. Nikon F and whatever Canon's film flagships were, sure - those are designed to take a motor drive winder, so you can remove the back cover entirely. But my heirloom Nikkormat FTn, for example, wasn't designed that way, and removing the film cover hinge pin would at best be a very fiddly task with a significant risk of damaging the hinge.

That said, and assuming you use a camera module that you can disassemble far enough to expose the sensor, it shouldn't be too hard. You'd most easily I think design and 3D-print a replacement cover with a light-tight fitting to place the sensor on center at the flange focal distance (ie in the designed film plane), and route whatever cables out to where you could connect them. Maybe also a case for the Pi that has a 1/4"-20 screw to mount on the tripod socket, just so you don't have to cram your face past it to get a good look down the viewfinder.

You'd probably have a hard time getting anything like a wide-angle shot. I don't know offhand what sensor sizes are common in RPi camera modules, but I feel like expecting 1"-class would be expecting too much, so you'd be dealing with a pretty fierce crop factor.
I would argue that police in inner cities are a bit like the drunken reveler looking for their keys under the street light because they can't see anything elsewhere.

Note that this is a new feature for Firefox's PDF reader, but not a new feature of PDFs in general.

Adobe had to update reader back in like... 2008?... to prompt before loading external resources. Because companies were embedding Google Analytics into PDFs.
> interfacing C# with Rust

AFAIK, there is no library that achieves a similar idiomatic interoperability between Rust and C#, like PyO3 for Python.
I guess you might be right. It would be silly to risk entire plant down due to a small PCB broken. Same goes for important machinery that can't be now controlled because an encoder failed.

There is just no connection between the cost of components and the value they are generating and possible costs of downtime.

On the other hand you have probably low production volumes because there is no mass market for these parts. And that then causes some stupid stuff to costs hundreds or thousands of dollars.
cannot tell if sarcasm because the NYPost is very much not entirely factual lol
I've re-read your post a few times and I'm sure it wasn't your intention, but it keeps reading to me like "bad things have become the normal and people should stop pointing it out". Whether or not there is a better solution, I think there are clearly dangers inherent to monetizing news with ad revenue and I think there is value in keeping a careful eye on them.
You're never going to find a job that's constantly interesting and fun. Even if you love doing something normally, there will be days when you have to do it, and that will eventually become unpleasant.

Don't strive to do what you love, do what you take pride in. When you are working towards a goal which resonates with you personally, all the tedious, unpleasant, painful moments and all the other obstacles in your way just make your eventual triumph sweeter.

I obviously don't subscribe to a straw man position. My comment was about systems exploiting people, because it's a system that needs to be fixed. Facebook is the 800 pound gorilla protecting the system from change.
Very cool I’ll check it out.

I’ll push back on it being tough to solve — unless you’ve looked into privacy engineering and have some further data in that direction.

Whole field exists to de-link PII to data that supports business analytics, and the tech is there at a non-tough level for Google to achieve.
Huge or not, duplication of effort is a tax. And no, it's not trivial as you claim. Especially when some engine wasn't designed from the ground up to address these differences.
It doesn't make sense, no. The whole article seems very barebones - I'd have expected to see discussion of how the sensor-lens system needs to work for proper focus, at least. Granted they link the STL for their case, which will be designed for correct alignment, but some discussion would still be useful to those wanting to mod for different lenses or sensors.

Four times a year? I've had to change mine once a month for the past 20 years. Needless to say, I increment a numeric suffix that wraps around every 10 or so months.

It has always seemed like a totally pointless exercise.

I can see potential value for service accounts, as long as you have automation in place to change them where needed - but for user accounts, it's complete madness.
Not freaking the Evil Empire of companies would be a great start.

I did a research paper on Baader Meinhof long before the phenomenon came to my attention.

It was two years after that paper before I came across any other mentions of them.

The very next time anybody mentioned them to me it was in the frequency context and I'd had exactly the opposite experience of the "phenomenon." No frequency illusion at all.

I have no idea why we'd name a phenomenon after a thing that made some guy have a certain feeling this one time. It's a moronic name.
America's free market capitalism is mostly just a ruse, the US government exercises a tight control over its people but does it through outsourcing with some carrot and stick tactics. Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and other social media are allowed to stay in business just as long as they do what the US Government wants them to do. Free speech on the Internet is a direct threat to the power and wealth of the American ruling class.

Keeping up this ruse of freedom is important to American society but recently conservatives in particular have started encountering the restrictive but invisible cage.
>"deep for the sake of being deep"

It is babies first philosophy: the anime. Nothing wrong with liking it, the problem comes when people think it is deeper than it actually is. It is quaint when viewed through current affairs, and much like the article, absolute thesaurus bait pretending to be something more.
To me, that’s like asking “why are inconsistencies in English necessary? can’t we all just learn Esperanto?” There’s hundreds of years worth of written music, hundreds of years worth of pedagogical material, and millions of people who simply will not “un-learn” the current tradition. Just like English, over the centuries, music notation evolves, but only just does that, evolves.
The lens having an MP rating is likely just saying that the optics is good enough to resolve an image to the detail that a 10MP sensor would capture.

I know it's a shitty way to specify lens resolution, but that's likely what the manufacturer called it, not the fault of the article's author.

“And if you think about it, workers can’t pay taxes until the US government has created money otherwise their tax money wouldn’t exist.”

This seems like a misleading non-sequitur.

It’s obviously true that there has to be money in circulation before taxes to be paid, but it’s clearly not true that new money needs to be printed as opposed to taxing those who currently have it.

This doesn’t in itself negate the argument but it does undermine the credibility.

Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 RNA is detected intermittently in the air in various settings. Standardized guidelines for conducting and reporting research on airborne transmission are needed. The lack of recoverable viral culture samples of SARS-CoV-2 prevents firm conclusions over airborne transmission.

Yes. Mozilla is a non-profit, pretty much everything they do is out of charity.
I don't understand. Just send it to a service. You don't make your own PCBs do you? There's lots of things a hobbyist cannot do in-house, and even if you can just make far more sense (at hobbyist scale) to contract out.

Agreed, I was on a public FTP site about a month ago browsing through old support files. Now I'll have to configure a client for it.

You forgot to add this part:

> At the expense of the consumer, and usually without their consent or knowledge.

Facebook is the particular bad guy here, because we usually need to rally around one target to get anything done (and they are by far the worst offender). But the goal is not to take down Facebook, it's to limit or eliminate tracking and other practices that violate and exploit the privacy of people.

Of course small businesses can benefit from doing what Facebook does, just like a homeless person can benefit by robbing a bank. That doesn't mean it's right.

Stronger privacy laws might kill small businesses that engage in that type of behavior, but it's not going to kill the economy. New business will be born, and the free market will fix itself.
You're right that it's not free. But compared to the whole game engine codebase size the renderer backend is usually not big.

> Is this using the browser's own JS engine?

This issue makes it seem that Components.utils.Sandbox is used when included in firefox, which would be the browser's own JS engine (but confined to a sandbox), and quickjs in other settings (say a website). https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/12487

But I can't find Components.utils.Sandbox being referenced in the code on github. So maybe they decided to use quickjs for all use cases? The issue with quickjs is that it's written in C which is an unsafe language. wasm has bad binary security [0] so exploits are easier to create given some memory safety violation. The environment that calls the wasm is extremely privileged compared to random websites, so if a wasm exploit could convince the environment to do something, it would be major trouble.

> Are you arguing that Iran is more safe due to the fact they lock up less people?

No, I'm stating the fact that the nytimes (and the like) will repeat US gov propaganda about how Iran/terrorist-org-du-jour is so authoritarian that we need to "fight them over there to protect our way of life over here"... while nytimes (and the like) completely ignores the story of how our police are trained. And if you google "killology" for ten seconds, I think you'd agree a great way to describe it is "authoritarian".

> You think less police and less incarceration will suddenly make the US a less dangerous place?

No, it will take time. I mean there are entire generations of black males missing from their familial units. That kind of trauma don't heal "suddenly".
Totally, I don't think you're wrong, just like, people read "allocate" in different ways. I wish words were clearer, heh.
It would be a lot more work, but it might work better if you picked something which humans are particularly tuned to notice subtle details such as faces.

It also points to the fact that a privileged (at least in regards to wealth/opportunity) race in the US commits crimes at the same or higher rate (depending on category) than an underprivileged race in the UK.

We can't remove bias and false criminalization from stats but the contrast between two sister countries is interesting nonetheless.

If the simplified overarching premise is "Blacks are uniquely criminal regardless of circumstance", why am I more likely to be a victim of criminality in a room filled with 1000 white Americans than 1000 black Brits?

except that the fastest (and also parallel) versions of grep tend to use memory mapping. for grep it tends to be more linear (except the parallel case), but for others like sort it might not be the case that linear access to the file is always best.
Disclaimer: I'm now fully in the Elm and strong static typing camp, so... I'm biased.

My anecdote is that I wrote a backend Slack bot in Clojure (not ClojureScript) - the experience was great when writing it. But three months later I had to go fix something in this codebase and by then I didn't remember as much about it. And getting back "up to date" was so hard for me that I burned out on that project and rewrote it in Elm. (Yes you can write headless apps running on Node in Elm.)

The development experiences might be similar (Clojure might make you feel slightly smarter and cooler), but the maintainability "3 months after" was much better after the rewrite to Elm, since the compiler won't let you even run your app unless everything checks out (compared to Clojure which will just happily raise a runtime exception). And you have type annotations as a form of documentation for your future self.
> Maybe to you

Yes, I avoid making assumptions about invariants across mutation calls, that's just a bad idea.

> For slices, we know that x[0] will always print 5 until the value of x is reassigned in some way.

Unless an other goroutine is stomping on your backing array anyway.

> It would have the same problem the map does: you'd have to update any pointers into the slice to point to the new slice, otherwise the semantics of the program changes. That is not something the GC currently does, and would require an awful lot of metadata and scanning.

Yes. So maybe we could ignore that useless strawman?

> I'm not sure what this is referring to.

To what I'm quoting.

> I was trying to say that keeping the flexibility to reallocate the backing store of the map during GC

That sounds less like flexibility and more like "let's make the GC slower and more complex for no reason".
The rule is that anything HN is against, will become massively successful.
