AFAIK the moment you cross an event horizon is not supposed to be significantly different from being just outside of one (at first). Light is one-way within an event horizon though so I imagine that should cause a lot of strange phenomena.
If you are having sex and your partner isn't unambiguously interested, you need to ask yourself some questions.

Also, people in stable relationships can have non consensual sex. It was legal to rape your wife until like the 90s in parts of the states.
One of the lowest hanging fruits in water conservation are reducing irrigated forage crops (like alfalfa or silage).

Without getting into meat production, dairy is a tremendous user of water.

I'm particularly excited to see lab created milk. I suspect it will be easier to take to production then artificial meat, and we can free much of the water (and land for that matter) while continuing to enjoy our cheese pizzas.
It’s wild to consider that my next computer (an arm M1 Mac) will be compiling code for mobile (arm) and the cloud (arm). I wonder if we’ll ever see AMD releasing a competitive arm chip and joining the bandwagon.
What do you mean the M1 doesn't have good IO?

No question: text is the absolute winner. Reading is just faster, plus with videos you can't search, can't cut-and-paste, and can't skim. Video is for my son to learn about Minecraft blocks.

It wasn't my intention nor do I believe that's what I'm doing. I'm simply using this event to highlight to other current and future parents like myself that we need to overcome our discomfort with discussing sex with our children so that we can provide them with tools should they ever find themselves in similar situations. I posit that her parents hadn't had those conversations, but I'm also not blaming them in any way if they hadn't, nor am I try to shift blame away from or to anyone.

That is why I was explicit in my request that people not put words in my mouth or read between the lines.

Yes, but I’ll need more compute
Most server infrastructure isn’t designed to be efficient to the degree that Apple’s OS is. I think until we see a significant increase in datacenter power costs due to carbon neutral, we’ll start to see developers focusing more on ekeing out the most performance per watt. Apple’s been doing that for decades and has dragged developers along, kicking and screaming about the upgrade cycle, until they reached today’s pinnacle M1 chip and macOS and iPadOS. The unixy community has refused for years to use macOS APIs unless commanded to by Apple, and only the upgrade to TLS 1.3 finally started compelling app developers to bundle OpenSSL (rather than use SecureTransport), and open source server-type developer adoption of Metal and MLKit and whatever the HTTP request library is (I forgot, sorry) is essentially nonexistent. So the apps that “server infrastructure” might use M1 for are, bluntly, not equipped to perform very well on M1 today.

I’ll know that Apple is a serious contender for datacenters when PHP is updated to use native macOS APIs when running on macOS, because that’s a great litmus test for whether open source is ready to compromise on “generic computing is king” in favor of “high-performance OS APIs for specific hardware platforms”. I’m not holding my breath, and I don’t think most open source projects are willing or able to either decide to take these steps or actually deliver on any such intent. Apple seems content to offer rackmount macOS and that’s more than sufficient for serious businesses that need serious amounts of Apple-accelerated hardware. But I don’t consider most “Internet cloud server” businesses to need that, and I don’t see the developers of our clouds as being willing to give up their dylib freedoms in exchange for higher performance per watt.

EDIT: Think of M1 as a hardware platform dedicated to code that's been ported to Apple’s microkernel, if that helps any. Yeah, it’s not “micro”, in theory; except they run a stripped-down iOS on their HDMI dongle (yes, seriously), so clearly they’re quite capable of “micro” kernel.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll be sure to think about my wordings on this in the future.
I earnestly think it's motivation and there's this societal pressure that software "is too hard." Just like your mom can use the Facebook app just fine. I have trouble using it, I'm worried anything I type into a box will turn into a public post with notifications going into everyone's inbox, and I've also mostly avoided it for over a decade. My grandmother over a decade ago figured out how to buy a webcam, install it, and use the software when grand kids were born.

The question was aimed at me. I never experienced that.

That doesn't mean the teen years didn't have some bumps. The worst of that was cleared up by explaining to my children that they were being flooded with hormones and a side effect of high levels of testosterone is aggression and anger.

So if they were feeling very, very angry, it wasn't because they were being subjected to extreme injustice they had never before seen. It was because they were hormonal.

That conversation ended with the punchline "You're problem is called testosterone, not my bitch mother." which caused everyone to crack up.

After that I occasionally would say "You sound like an icky, hormone soaked teenager." And my son would say "I am an icky hormone soaked teenager" and he would try to tone down whatever made me say that and I would try to cut him some slack for being hormone soaked and not entirely in control of his big, fat mouth because of it.

I don't think anyone's saying Mexico is uncivilized. It's a beautiful place with beautiful people, massive cultural output, great universities, etc.

I'm just not going to invest in a startup trying to build self-driving cars for Latin America anytime soon.
This is my thing about it - I always hear people complaining about Chrome being a memory hog, but it never feels slow to me. I'm writing this with 15 tabs open and it's not even a worry. I only have 16gb in my laptop too.
I’m familiar with these talking points and what influences you would have to regurgitate them.

That talking point still assumes that the killings of armed people was necessary. It doesn't tell you if they were legal holders, responsible concealed carry holders, the type of weapon or anything.

Supporting this frame of thought requires being too much of an apologist for an institution that just has too many options with too little accountability.

It is a false dichotomy to simplify it to more police or less, the same goes to people saying defund the police. Accountability is an overarching theme. Overpolicing certain areas is a self fulfilling prophecy that even pollutes your own stats. Black and white people commit arrestable crimes at a similar distribution while the areas black people live in are policed more, or enforced more.

I’m sure that a small group had planned something very serious. I don’t know how many of the 2000 people were a part of that, and how many were, as you say, “trespassing.”

I found it very serious too. I have a serious medical condition. It’s very important that I be able to get to hospital quickly. I’m terrified of being in a place like the capitol, and being stuck there without access to an ambulance.

My point - and this is not a popular one - is that any gathering that has the potential to delay emergency services is a serious matter. Anyone who causes it should be held accountable for the deaths that result.

Sure but the statistics, 1% of reported rapes lead to conviction and 2-8% are shown to be false, do not support the conclusion that false report of rape is not a big issue.
I don't even think she is at fault, and I do feel for her. From what I gather she was the victim of some extremely shady and uncouth man, who did make sure he didn't do anything illegal.

It is not going to lengths: just a few percent chance it was something more innocuous like that (or someone terribly regretting they did not forcefully say "no", so in their mind they said their thoughts out loud), and it would demand pause in our severe and career-ending charges of rape.

This Medium post is not enough. Netto, its contribution is negative, because it welcomes one-sided speculation, and paints the entire Scala community with that same brush.
The City of New York is very wealthy, but you don't get almost $10 million for having your civil rights violated!

I assure you, if that was the case, there would be a lot more multi-millionaires in NYC because the local police play it pretty fast 'n loose with the civil rights of citizens.

And again, the City didn't hand over forty-million to get rid of a nuisance lawsuit. They have lawyers on staff -- it would probably cost under a million dollars for the city to go to trial.
That doesn’t validate the claim that when there is proof only one story is needed. It’s a fact that one story with proof isn’t always enough.
"In terms of housing the unhoused this doesn’t do anything"

"It doesn’t demonstrate a better solution to existing problems."

"They are bread or nothing."

And this guy starts off his reply with "The negativity is no more unwarranted than positivity."

Why do I always see these kind of comments on the top?

Does HN scrutinize everything based on the "practicality of things"? This article is multiple galaxy away from making such a claim. Why do people respond like the next million dollar housing solution is being advertised here?

I like OpenWrt better than PfSense. PfSense/OpnSense is BSD and the new SQM CAKE QoS stuff in OpenWrt (Linux based) is way ahead of anything else.

My usual need for fancy routers is dealing with crap connections and/or abusive users and SQM CAKE is just incredible for that.

Since OpenWrt is Linux it usually has better Wifi support too. You can run it on really affordable routers that double as wireless AP unless you need to traffic shape 200+mbps

According to the story they had sex while drunk. But then he kept on having sex with her, including when she was saying that she didn't want him to.

It is rape to have sex with a woman who didn't want it and told you not to. She describes exactly that happening later in the conference. Yes, she tried to convince herself that it was consensual. And he tried to convince her of the same. But that is also a common pattern for rape, both her attempt to deny it and his to gaslight her.

Interestingly in surveys, the portion of women who describe having had an encounter meeting the definition of rape has held fairly steady over the decades. But the portion of women who self-describe that as rape has steadily risen. Then really jumped in 2018. Given that fact I find it interesting that he seems to target women from cultures that haven't internalized "no means no" as a standard. Cultures where it is easier for the man to do what he wants, then convince her that he didn't rape her.

People have agency. They're allowed to choose, of their own free will, to do things they aren't 100% on board with. That includes sex.

Blowing your husband because it wastes less of your time then him trying to woo you or popping a Viagra because your wife is hitting the bong and you know what she's gonna want next aren't ideal but they're facts of some peoples lives.

There's no way you can honestly allege those sorts of things are rape. So how do you justify your redefinition of consent?

Well, no, because Git doesn't prevent you from modifying commits pointed to by tags. It prevents you from modifying the tags themselves, which point to the original commits, but that's not relevant - if your workflow involves a lot of "git commit --amend" or 'git rebase -i", it isn't going to stop you from accidentally rebasing or reordering tagged commits.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen a repo where every pushed commit is tagged, and I suspect that will make lots of git operations that look at all refs scale poorly. The use case is that if I make a branch off current master, and then I run "git commit --amend" thinking I've already run "git commit," it shouldn't let me modify that commit - whatever it might be.

There was a religious apologetics claim, widely presented and debated in the 1990s, that there were statistical anomalies in the Torah to show that it was really written by God: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_code

> anyone could verify that it was authored by someone with more computing power than the universe

I never thought of this that way, but that's an excellent way to put it! (Although you also need to assume that the hash is extremely strongly preimage-resistant, which we don't have good mathematical techniques to prove today.)

One challenge for this: what is the canonical text encoding and canonicalization, and what is the canonical hash function?
So 10 8's is mythic. That's only 2^40 (probably less since the 8's dont have to be in a specific position in the hash). Based on https://gist.github.com/epixoip/a83d38f412b4737e99bbef804a27... you should be able to bruteforce a mythic amulet in 48 seconds with a high end gpu from 2016.

Doesn't sound that mythic to me.
> There’s a lot of things wrong with software engineering - harboring this attitude that self-taught learning is bad or shameful makes it unnecessarily worse

This is an interesting question.

There's nothing wrong with being an autodidact, per se, but in my experience in hiring people and working with autodidacts: Autodidacts are not very good at recognizing their own limitations[0] and they usually do not have a lot of breadth of knowledge outside their area of interest. This can even go so far as not knowing that there is such a thing as "Entire Field of Study Foo". (Let's say Foo is Discrete Mathematics.)

Will they be bad hires? It depends on what you need -- and they can absolutely perform as well or better than any "more educated" person. It very much depends on the actual person... as almost all work does.

[0] This explicitly ties into the second point about breadth of knowledge. It's about knowing what you don't know and are willing to research further. The problem with autodidacts is often that there's such an insane leap from "oh, i know this" to a seemingly totally unrelated field which has deep connections to what you're doing. That's what a "broad" education in CS is there to teach you. Are you going to use all of that? Hell no! But just maybe that 5% you do end up using makes up for the 95% you don't.

My quest to replace green screen with ML
No, this is a fairly common criticism of public companies: stock markets don't like conglomerates, they value them at a discount [0]. It gives less power to stock holders. Investors should be able to decide whether they want to keep their position in a browser company or a mobile phone OS company instead of Google managers deciding it.

Instead of having one highly profitable company focused on ads that pays out excellent dividends, Google leadership chose to spend it on lots of expensive employees instead.

A good counter argument to this is that if Google didn't do it, then a significant portion of their valuation would vanish due to the issue that in technology, companies which can't transition to newer revenue models perish as technology evolves.

So personally I don't agree with the criticism, but I think it's legitimate.

I have a 2013 Macbook Pro and I want to keep using it forever. Now if it (Mighty) helps me focus and save 1 hour of my time per month my work, I'll pay up the $30/mo. However, I'd like to pause my subscription whenever possible. I am a consultant. Time is money. Can it save me an hour per. month? How many hours will I spend customizing it? Will my existing plugins work? What layer of Chrome did they optimize? Security implications? I'll be looking for answers to these questions. The founder is someone with a level head and I trust them enough to not chase after "made up" problems.

EDIT: I did wonder about offsetting some of my CPU load by renting a VM out on the cloud instead of paying the $30 though. Not sure of the cost there.
Ironically, HN frequently touts the benefits of "just talk to someone about their work" over the impartial whiteboard interview.
