> Plan 9 as a 'living system' could have re-evaluated some of the architectural decisions that were made in the late 80s and early 90s as practically every detail of hardware, software and networking changed

But that's exactly what it did. And that's exactly the reason you're claiming for it's failure.

What it seems like to me, is that you're trying to have your cake and eat it here. You're saying, on the one hand, that you like Plan9 because of what sets it apart from contemporary and modern systems. Then you're saying that you dislike the distance that it had from those systems because you wish it could have had better interoperability. Do you see how this is inherently contradictory, though? You quite literally cannot have the changes that Plan9 had, and have better interoperability, because those changes were made on a base that is fundamentally conflicting.

It sounds like what you wish they had written UNIX System 8, with Plan 9 Addons™
I don't know. I have some fairly complex thoughts here, but I'm coming at it as someone for whom there is evidently something deeply weird going on with their whole perception of this category of sensation - I don't find opioids at all pleasurable, either, and it was only a few months ago that I found out how unusual that is. Not that I'd try to change any of this even if I thought I could, but I suppose it doesn't really equip me to talk on the subject in a way that'd likely be of use to anyone normal.
Here's the change. I don't think it's their own data. It sounds like they want to do something like retargeting. I'm not sure how I feel about that. It depends on what sort of data they share.

Of course, if one person is physically stronger than another, then more tools are required to respond proportionally; tools that may make an accidental over-retaliation more likely.

While society prefers civil solutions to physical conflicts, civil solutions take longer, often require social, organizational and financial capital, and have less certainty in outcome. Society overall is better, but individuals are often not as well served.

The system is stacked in favour of the more powerful at every level, shocker.

The description of the hotel with the fireplaces and Japanese baths sounded so beautiful. I forgot for a moment that this was a story of the hotel getting stolen and thought whoever buys it would be well set up to have a lovely business. I feel so bad for the owners on the cusp of retirement then dragged through hell when they should be enjoying themselves.
67mb vs 168mb on windows

Why the difference?

Why so big for such simple app?

Electron?
Yep, this literally just happened to me here in Switzerland. An "easy" route at around 2300m which was great - a nice wide, cleaned road around snowy areas. And then suddenly a steep descent with 30+ cm of frozen iced snow. Without proper equipment, that would be extremely dangerous and even with equipment is was far outside the comfort zone.
I think one of the reasons why people are pushing back against David's and Jason's narrative is because for years they have positioned themselves and Basecamp as the consciences of the industry who are more ethical and compassionate than the competition, especially big corporations. When you put yourself on a pedestal but then take actions that contradict your values, you come off as a hypocrite.

For a company that claims to be progressive and inclusive, it's surprising how these major cultural changes can be implemented without even notifying employees let alone discussing these matters with them. A lot of very bright people work at Basecamp, some who shine much brighter than either David or Jason, maybe they had valuable feedback on these profound changes in culture?

I'm not even saying these changes are bad but I do think that they were unwisely implemented, seem to contradict Basecamp's culture and will probably cast a long shadow on David's and Jason's credibility.
The point here isn't that CO2 matters. The CO2 is just a marker for adequate ventilation (and there is plenty of evidence that ventilation is very important in reducing transmission).
For the record, it's 49% support according to Gallup.

And based on the trend, it will cross 50% imminently (if it hasn't already).
> or won't grow much

I don't understand this idea that everything has to grow. Who cares if it grows or not, as long as the people who use it enjoy it?
You realise that Hey.com and Basecamp are the same company, right?
Why didn't they just quickly turn the titanic when they saw the ice berg?
Additionally the whole charge is likely to be reversed (or it has been for me in similar situations) and the business will have to pay a pretty big ($20+) fee. Of course the employee could be a bad actor but it's in the businesses best interest to try to ensure that isn't the case. I think if there are too many chargebacks, the business gets designated as high-risk and will also have to pay more processing fees.

One thing to note about the US is that card processing fees are more than double what they are in the UK/EU. It allows CC companies to eat the costs of fraud more without passing it onto the consumer/business.
I was under the impression that all, or at least most, EV charging networks in the UK and EU allowed a PAYG model, where you tap your credit/debit card against the machine.

> The fast charging prices were also so high that I'm not sure it's any cheaper than a gasoline car.

While it being cheaper than gasoline is a nice perk, I think it's more important to get a wider deployment of fast charging infrastructure (and that is dead easy to use).

Without massive deployments of charging infrastructure, it won't matter what it costs - people will not buy EVs if they've got no way to rapidly recharge.

Governments should also be incentivising deployment of on-street charging infrastructure for areas where off-street parking is difficult or uncommon.

> then the exploitation of foreign workers during the "economic wonder" time after the war. Until now things didn't change much.

I am not argueing that there is not abuse. But to force this narrative, you have to be already behind the "border wall" and therefor rich enough to be either nationalist ("no immigration!") or very naive ("just give them money!"). Either way in my mind you are putting yourself above the poor little people, who are in such misery. You do not think they are trying to do what's best for them? They are responsible for their own fortune and many of their children actually make it.

Look at what is happening to Poland (one of the sources of immigration). Germany actively sends money there (through the EU), people working in Germany are effectively extracting money from Germany to Poland and the economy is growing like crazy (for European standards). Everyone benefits.
Refactoring UI – Tired of Relying on Bootstrap?
This article is the type of tripe they teach us in law school that has no real world application.

I get the point the author is trying to make: that you can distill argument down to its essence, and that you should.

What the argument fails to take into account (to name two) is:

1. We have “splits of authority.” One court says the law is Y and one court says the law is X. Now it’s roses are red in this jurisdiction and pink in another. The whole thing goes off the rails.

Argue your point as best you can and hope!

2. Many statutory schemes have become insanely complex so as to make distilling arguments to their essence nearly impossible. Additionally, each piece of complexity is another opportunity for courts to diverge in interpretation (see point 1).

To be sure, the classic common law claims —- murder, robbery, larceny, battery, etc — are amenable to this type of distillation, but that’s so little of what the practice of law is anymore.

Students get an education like described in the article, and then they come out woefully unprepared for the real world.
The whole point is that use of async doesn't need to be infectious. You may want to make everything async for elegance and consistency, but it's not a requirement strong enough to cause problems. If you have a library that is sync-only, it's fine. If you have a large project and can't be bothered to rewrite everything to be async, it's fine.

"Not everybody knows (how to do) that" is a weak argument, because it's a relatively straightforward thing to learn: if it can block, wrap it in `spawn_blocking()`.
If you wanna get real fancy, you could replace

document.documentElement.classList.add('js');

with

Show HN: Wave Function Collapse library in C, plus command-line tool
Out of bounds check is definitely a responsible start.

As for the exact methods I'm not really partial to anything (Be it borrow-checker,gc,compiler-time-analysis,etc) but we've seen time and time out of bounds(handled by Zig atleast), UAF and other issues be exploited so having "safe" defaults for the majority of code isn't something I think we should skip on, especially if it's a "systems language" since the exploitation surface will end up everywhere.

The Rust borrow checker can probably feel cludgy at times, and in many ways it's a result of creating a scheme that is verifiasble. Since Zig already has comptime I guess having expand compile time capabilties to analyze for common UAF conditions,etc shouldn't be unfeasible?
User tracking inspection result for about.gitlab.com
Hi everyone,

Just a bit of a context: Wave Collapse Function is a method for procedural generation of images that are locally similar to the (much smaller) input image. It’s been used, for example, in roguelikes to support level generation.
I’ve never heard of this idea that borders are supposed to stay locked shut indefinitely, and the facts suggest otherwise: the international border between Australia and NZ has reopened, there is no quarantine for international travel between our countries.
What fraction of the cars are driven in such areas? We could probably go a long way to reducing carbon emissions by replacing ICEs with EVs for the people who have reliable electricity. Cars are parked almost all day. If we can ensure that there is a kW or two available at most parking spots, I'm pretty sure that 90% of the charging needs are met.
It's more about bridging the gap between mobile and web. Installable web apps that have as much access to the OS as a native app (through user-initiated consent) is a great direction to move towards.

The browser can now run any language through web assembly, threads and all. The HTML/CSS layer is just a portable, expressive markup for visual assets.

I made a fitness goal tracking web app that worked completely offline. If you've used "strong" on android, it's basically a free clone that.

It stored all the records on the browser via indexeddb and the timer would ping you with a push notification when the rest timer would expire.

iOS erases the persisted storage after 7 days and doesn't let me use push notifications. I'd love it if iOS asked "hey this web app wants to store data long term" or whatever, but it doesn't.

I'm as down as the next person on organizations like Sable Networks but honestly it's like being mad at rattlesnake that bites you if you step on it. They have a sleazy nature and they're being true to it.

My real ire is towards Cisco and Juniper. They had the money to litigate the claims and decided to pay up. I cannot help but think that this was solely done to add fixed costs to any competitor.

I wonder if they're talking about competing with all of systemd or not? The suite that is systemd is pretty massive, in an unironic way. I personally think one of the tragedies of systemd is how all the related tooling and components get lumped together to make it appear like an init system gone godzilla, when much of it is separate-although-related-and-consistent systems.
I don't think I sidestepped it. People use credit to better themselves because they can. Maybe you are asking why more capital is available to lend and I think that's a good question.

It’s easy to conflate the idea that trains need investment and that Musk is the wealthiest mad on Earth. He doesn’t have enough money or the political capital to create a meaningful rail option like, say, LA to SF at high speed. His only option are promoting much cheaper alternatives like the Boring company or (inspiring for now) Hyperloop.

Even then, all those projects are far away from profitability and heavily criticised. His car business offers both a credible option to reduce ownership (with a self-driving fleet) and finances his other ideas. Overall, he’s expressed interest in fast point-to-point transport and realism about how flying would be far more expensive, energy-wise, so I’m sure that, when he has the means, he’ll look into a rail-based option.
This is all quite bizarre and amusing. The stream is a comedic mess. Hope he got paid alright to mock people who clearly deserved it.
Interesting this is listed as a requirement for Senior Software Engineer:

Physical Requirements
Physical duties for this position include but are not limited to, visual abilities to include depth perception, ability to see peripherally, ability to adjust vision to bring objects into focus, ability to distinguish basic colors. Ability to hear and respond to instructions. Ability to work with and around others as well as alone. Other physical tasks include occasional standing/walking; manual dexterity and mobility, use of hands for basic/fine grasping/manipulation, and repetitive motion (keyboard and mouse). Physical duties are subject to change.

And this is for Software Manager:

Physical Requirements
No pre-determined physical requirements; all candidates should be encouraged to apply.

Hi. My contact information is in my profile. Please get in touch.
This is about as tone-deaf as I have encountered from them.

How could they imagine this would be acceptable behavior?
Provocation is a thing, e.g. reducing murder to manslaughter or 2nd / 3rd degree murder if the victim provoked the attacker first somehow.

Self-defense is a thing, it's sometimes reasonable to attack a person before or while they are attacking you.

Retribution is not a legitimate grounds for assault, that's what the justice system is for.

Your example is light on details, but if it's just retribution without an element of provocation / self defense (e.g. B punches A one year after A punches B), then there wouldn't be a reason to dismiss such a case.

As for your conversation, one principle in any organization is to remain polite and professional at all times, even (and especially) when other people are not. If a conversation is "going nowhere", telling the other person that they are "difficult to talk to" could be a legitimate observation or constructive feedback. Management have no interest in analyzing the rights and wrongs of such situations, they only care about who acted professionally, and not about the order and reasons behind such behavior.

To be clear, the noscript tag "disappears" when javascript is enabled in the browser. When javascript is disabled it behaves like any other tag and can be styled accordingly.

Extension can disable scripts selectively but in that case javascript is still considered enabled for the purposes of the noscript tag.
In as much as one can make that reliably catch these images and videos for this case, slight modifications of, references pointing to elsewhere, etc and not catch significant false positives or otherwise allow abuse of the system that cause it's own pushback sure.

So off to google:
Escape Ctrl-q should work. But does not.

Ok I'm stuck, let's at least get 1+1 to work.
So entering 1+1 and .. hitting Enter? Shift Enter? No.
Ok, command mode, Ctrl E.. aaaaand it's stuck.

Looks nice but I just don't seem to get it to work using anaconda on macos..
As a diver descends, they have to add air to their BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) to maintain neutral buoyancy (and release air when they ascend).

Without that compensation step, as a diver descends their buoyancy becomes increasingly negative.

Add a level of narcosis for descending below 40m, mix in some excitement/stress, and some equipment configuration issues (e.g. too much weight), and the task-loading can cause some people to forget/skip routine techniques such as adding air to maintain neutral buoyancy.

I believe there is growing interest in providing leaner, "trimmed" runtimes for services deployed to the cloud. Today, this is seen largely by specializing the Linux kernel for, for example, container services[0] or in general[1], as much as that is possible (the paper above covers this problem in greater detail). But, Unikernels in themselves are not yet widely adopted. This is the space Unikraft is aiming to enter, providing the ultimate level of specialization for a target application.

It's clear that bigger players, such as Red Hat[2] are interested in the topic of unikernels, and that cloud providers are preparing for this future too [3].

Not sure if you are still focusing on alpine hiking or climbing.

While climbing most deadly accidents (30+% of them [1]) happen because people rappel through the end of the rope (or ropes if using half/twin ropes). Stopper knots are a 10s precaution that is often overlooked.

However, it is true that on easier climbing routes it is easier to hurt yourself because you might hit a ledge on your way down. If that happens it's most likely the belayer's fault because he/she should keep "a tight leash" on the sections just above said ledges. If you let an unexperienced person belay you I assume you evaluated the risk and are ok with that.

This seems unlikely. Why assume that he doesn't when the odds against your assumption are so high?

It's EXTREMELY tough to say that with confidence. I would say trending toward impossible.
