There is no such thing as flushing a TCP socket which is why that function jumped out at me. curl would have confirmed the server isn't misbehaving. Googling flushHeaders shows it's a node implementation specific thing and the docs explain that it has to do with the way node buffers http headers. Which makes sense because you don't want to call socket.send() for every http header you add to your request. But you also don't want to send() in between your headers and the body, because then you violate TCP package size expectations.

But somehow some random "throwaway" account on a forum has more info than all of Biden's advisers? "Benefit of the doubt" is just a cover. We must assume competence and intent on the administration's part and hold them accountable for it (or give them credit), otherwise we're letting our bias/favoritism show through.

> With that framing, the perception of whether the list was racist does matter as it explains their motivation.

I don't think we know their true motivation. Anyone can claim to perceive something as racist. We cannot control their sense of offense. The act they claim to be racist may or may not be racist.

But what advocates of critical race theory have found is that, by claiming that something is racist, they can bring pressure on their employers.

That is precisely what happened here. Basecamp is now under tremendous pressure. Plenty of ire has been focused on the co-founders as well as Singer. Singer has quit, though we don't know the facts of the case. Accusations of racism are fatal to one's career, whether or not they have a basis in fact.

Another word for "revealed pattern" is "narrative." Many narratives can be told about the same set of facts. And many of those narratives are deeply subjective, or driven by ideology.

I could take many minor actions by Jane Yang and others at Basecamp and interpret them as a power grab.

To be clear, I know that some people and companies do act in racist ways. Such behavior is illegal and should be punished. But the evidentiary bar to establish that is high. That bar has not yet been met here.

In this case, we have very serious accusations and very little evidence, evidence that can be interpreted in several ways. But Basecamp and Singer have already suffered serious consequences, and the claims have been aired publicly.

So they were able to create a scandal without going through the effort of proving anything.

If FreeBSD were as popular as Linux, it would have same problem.

We don't even need hypotheticals, how many proprietor Unices were there before Linux? Forget history, how many libre Unices are there now? Off the top of my head I can count Free/Net/Open/Dragonfly BSD and may be missing one or two.

Only difference is Linux provides a-la-carte experience, while BSDs provide the bundled options. But zoomed out, none bloat doesn't appear to me as an issue in choice/decision making department.
Exploiting Aliasing for Manga Restoration
Seems we're already getting a bit heated, as neither you nor I mentioned something about "wholesomeness" but here we are.

My point is not that alt-right opinions are wholesome, but rather that since they don't have a lot of places they can write their opinions without getting overrun by opposition, it's only natural they'll retract into properties where they can freely talk.

For example: If you're of the opinion that you don't think homosexuality should be legal, there is not a lot of places you could have a factual conversation about that with others, without it ending up in name-calling or huge troll wars.

Now I don't agree with that opinion at all (I'm bixsexual myself), but I do agree with the right for those people to hold that opinion and being able to talk with others about this opinion, without it ending up in huge fights and drama.

Guess I'm just so far in the "We can educate everyone" camp that the alternatives all seem so fucked up. Hiding people away in separate social medias just make things worse, and all this because people can't ignore others, they _have_ to say something.

Just as a quick reminder before people continue the discussion, from the guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

It's fun to compare the headlines when these things happen involving US, Chinese or Russian space vehicles.

Those nasty Chinese and Russian ones are inevitably "hurtling" and "out of control" while the US ones are "falling" [or, in one headline I saw "retiring by falling"] and are nearly always expected to burn up "safely".
There's one hell of a difference between the news reporting of "sectarian murders" and seeing a group of people hitting another group of people with sticks WHILE THEY'RE ON FIRE.

Also I watched the Christchurch stream and there's something about someone seeing another person pleading for help and seeing the cameraman put a bullet in their head that really communicates a horror that words fail to.

For me at least, it humanises the dead (no longer statistics) and demonstrates the true horror of the capacity of human cruelty. Lest we forget.

I won't forget what I've seen, I won't forget how cruel people can be when unshackled and these stories act as significant warnings to me. While the press rationalise the next round of wars I've seen what it looks like and will never want.
You have no clue what health is.
Simple, the Indian vaccine factories already have licenses to produce these vaccines but are struggling to scale up production: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-55571793 (in part because they can't get some of the supplies needed, which maybe could be helped if the patents for those are also waived and other factories can help to make those...)
The reason why law, especially criminal, can't be expressed via bytecode is mostly because law in action is enforced selectively based on social effects. There are too many edge cases, circumstances and such to be able to with a binary output apply it to a situation.

There is a possiblity of automating the mundane, the administrative tasks, which seems like this language is taking a shot at - tax law - or such, but probably in the end we will start transitioning to law that just mentions that the taxes are counted by an algorithm and the algorithm is published on GitHub.

Using software metaphors, I think law has too much responsiblites and we need to decouple some stuff.

'Flat-Pack' Pasta Morphs into Shape Like Moving Organisms
Are patents really the barrier here? Are there factories out there, in countries that aren't currently producing vaccine, and are unable to purchase it? I seriously doubt it. Making these vaccines is not trivial. The facilities required can't be whipped up overnight. The skilled staff can't be pulled out of thin air.

Most countries capable of producing vaccines like this are already doing so, as fast as possible, and exporting them to the rest of the world at an incredible rate. Sure, more and faster would be better. Sure, countries are prioritizing their own citizens. But giving away all the IP is not going to change much at all.

By the time the few other countries who are even capable of manufacturing vaccines are able to bring production online, there's likely to already be a glut of extra doses on the market. The US has vaccinated nearly half of adults. Most of those remaining are voluntarily avoiding it. Vaccine shortage isn't a problem in the US at this point. US manufacturers are still increasing output, and soon there will be tens of millions of doses being exported every month, far more than any currently-nonexistent manufacturing facility could hope to produce within the next year.

Two of the worst-off countries that could most-benefit from more vaccine are India and Brazil. India has the means, doesn't really care about IP much in the first place, and already has facilities licensed to produce, but completely failed to plan. They can solve this problem if they get their shit together; the IP isn't a barrier whatsoever. Brazil has an even bigger failure of leadership and failure of public will, and already isn't taking advantage of vaccine that they have, so again, IP isn't the problem.

The simple truth is that anyone who can make these vaccines already is. Look what happened at the Emergent plant in Maryland when they tried to make the J&J vaccine. Even in the US, with good existing facilities and--at least on paper--qualified staff, production was a failure, and many months later, it still isn't producing any vaccine.
Exactly.

In France we had a Citizen's Convention for Climate (CCC), basically a citizen's jury of 150 people tasked with finding solutions for the climate crisis.

One thing was extremely clear from their proposals: people are absolutely willing to have strong climate laws passed as long as they only constrain other people. Usually these other people being vague shapeless corporations, because it feels like any cost that they bear isn't a real cost.

Maybe a climate change solution won't reduce anyone's standard of living, but maybe it will. If we're content to say "we have to stop polluting activities unless someone's livelihood depends on it in which case we'll do something else", we're screwed. Every polluting activity has someone's livelihood depending on it.
Maybe you can't and all you do is send semi-autonomous drones containing DNA and sophisticated 3d printers.

This seems to be something new. Anyone who can share why one would choose to sanitize on the front-end instead of the back-end?
You might want to sanitize it before it goes over the wire, but still have to sanitize on the back-end as well as you can’t trust user input.
You could sanitize it once you send it to the client, but you should not end up in a situation where you are the one sending possibly corrupted html to a client, right?
I’m probably missing something
Here's an article about the manufacturing process and its challenges:
https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2021/02/06/...

The Economist isn't a technical publication but it is known to do its homework and get details like this right.
Both of these are your framing, notafraudster.
Isn't that offset by the fact that trees replicate?
Tornadoes are pretty rare (and localized) outside of certain areas. Blizzards--other than a bad one if you live on the coast--are mostly a stay at home until it's over event. Hurricanes/floods are definitely in the southeast and can come up the coast as in Sandy. But this again mostly involves having a house somewhere that's not overly exposed to flooding if there's a lot of rain.

But yes. There's some balancing of unlikely but major natural disasters and fairly routine bad weather events.

From a natural disaster perspective you're probably best off in the desert Southwest.

> Do you have a link to a 2001 manual page?

I got it from the oldest manpages package from archive.debian.org. The git history on kernel.org doesn't go as far back.

The note I was referring to was the following:

BUGS
The object names vary between kernel versions. THIS MAKES THIS SYSTEM CALL WORTHLESS FOR APPLICATIONS. Use the /proc/sys interface instead.

Which in 2007 got replaced with the following (partly bolded):

NOTES
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call; call it using syscall(2).

Or rather... don't call it: use of this system call has long been discouraged, and it is so unloved that it is likely to disappear in a future kernel version.
Remove it from your programs now; use the /proc/sys interface instead.
Tech Workers Coalition: Worker power in the tech industry
Well lat long is the standard for marine operations and a mayday call uses it. In order to get a marine radio licence you have to demonstrate that you can correctly transmit a mayday. It works OK in noisy conditions because we say it in a standard format that everyone is expecting. E.g “My position is North five four decimal six three one East zero zero six decimal five two niner” this should probably be taught in school, my kids were taught basic CPR in primary school here so I don’t see why this couldn’t be taught this too.
My understanding is that can is only half the question. Yes, the changes CAN be upstreamed but my understanding (through others, so take it with a grain of salt), is that the CPython doesn’t like to take optimization changes that obscure the CPython code base. As a result, they often deny merging optimizations in favor of readability in the C codebase. Again, just my understanding and may not be 100% accurate.

- Neighborhood communities adapted for remote workers to move in and out. Can be themed (e.g. a specific national community). Startups will help them grow and organize. Airbnb was just the beginning.

- Brain implants. Biology is a complete tangled mess and making biotech work is hard. If we don't live long enough to achieve immortality, we can at least hope to download our brains for later use.

- Animal communication. This is super crazy but i think AI will be used to understand how to communicate with animals which could be revolutionary.

This decade marks the end of the baby boomer generation so the post-WW2 world order will largely become irrelevant, despite the trumpeting of nationalist tensions.
40 years - who is building these homes? A wood framed home should last hundreds of years if maintained. I recently opened up part of mine to do a renovation and the 100 year old+ timber was beautiful and strong.

Foundations are brick here (cinderblocks) but after that I can’t see any real advantages to using bricks for walls. They’re expensive, hard to modify, and bulky. Wood framing breathes much better too.

I think it's the glue that keeps up with the CPU power curve, so to speak. You give devs more RAM and more cycles and they'll find a way to use them with inefficient languages, suboptimal code and shiny UI.

I think it's important to remember that for instance Zelda: Link's Awakening was less than 512KiB in size and ran on a primitive 1MHz CPU.

But at the same time we have to acknowledge how better it can be to develop for a modern target. We can decide to waste this potential with bloated electron runtimes, but we can also leverage it to make things we thought impossible before.
Yes. Transistor density is a good measure that translates into something meaningful. It can be compared across different process technologies. Bear in mind that transistor density is not not actually transistor density.

Transistor density is weighted number that combines NAND2 transistors/area and scan flip-flops/area.

Tr/mm² = 0.6×(NAND2 Tr/mm²) + 0.4×(scan flip-flop/mm²)

The terms don’t in the dictionary, so there’s no way to continue the discussion without debating what this commenter thinks these terms mean.

It's wasted bandwidth if the user never clicks through to the rest of the site, which is really common (think an article linked on HN).

The model a lot of devs have of the user's connection is a huge, unmetered pipe, possibly with short periods of intermittency (being on a train, etc). The web can be not such a great place if you don't match that model.

"then your SR will follow it" is a wrong assumption. SR will only increase if you win. And while MMR increases, you receive fewer and fewer SR points per win.
It's super-promising and actually looks pretty ergonomic in comparison, but it'll take rewrites of existing C API leveraging packages.

There's not really a way around that, since they have to interact with refcounting now vs a more abstract mechanism (eg. hpy's handles) that shield from the underlying GC mechanism.

My fear here is that this will be a cool project a few projects really looking for cross-interpreter python support leverage, but will otherwise be a non-issue.

It doesn't need to show performance improvement on PyPy or Pyston as much as <=0 performance degradation of CPython, which will stay everyone's primary target.

I guess when it shows to be mature, it'll just be a question for each library of whether the work is worth supporting alternative interpreters for their user-base or personal lives or job.
