It's nice, congratulations on your project!

Personally I wouldn't use it because I don't see the need to have JavaScript on a basic blog, but I'm sure plenty of people don't care about that as long as the end result is fast and nice.
Yeah, and if Trump was still in power I have zero doubt the media would call him out on what a cynical stunt this is - but Biden is in charge now, and that makes a huge difference to how they report on everything.
As a user, I really don’t want PWAs having that ability.
Not sure if it's still relevant (article is quite old after all), but does [1] still hold true in regards to /boot on ZFS on linux, even with zfsbootmenu? What kind of issues can I expect? Is there a newer/better knowledgebase compared to the one on pthree.org?

I'm guessing the newness/missing features of zfsbootmenu is in regards to beadm [2]?

I'll say. The cost of a board of birch ply 18mm × 2500mm × 1250mm is over €90 in the Netherlands and Germany alike now (that's about $110). It's been creeping up for a few years in my experience.

A quick glance at one of the big box diy-stores shows a the similarly sized ¾" × 4' × 8' birch ply costs some $60 in the US.

I'm French-American, not British, even if I live in London, so no offense taken...

The odd thing is that they used to be much more adventurous in the past. Samuel Pepys was exceedingly fond of oysters, which means there was a ready supply in Charles I's time, and nowadays they are mostly exported to the EU, as are scallops and lobster. The standard of British food has improved markedly since the 90s, with the rediscovery of classic English fare by a new generation of chefs, if they can rediscover samphires, you'd think they could also rediscover shellfish.
Let's agree that we disagree. Like the German public news and the online media disagree on this topic.

> I don't believe anyone involved

I like the version "I don't believe anyone if money and/or politics is involved".
It is a new little toy that appeals to hackers.
That makes it valid "hacker news" IMO.

Not earth-shattering by any account, but not everything has to be.

> never going to get you to 100% reliability

Both Atheist and Muslim SREs agree: Only god is 100% reliable.

Reasoning in non-absolute magnitudes is more effortful but usually more effective.

If 2 weeks of effort spent on the single layer would get it from 95% to 95.3% reliable, then you're likely better off with another layer. If 2 weeks of effort spent on the single layer would get it from 95% to 99.9% reliable, that seems like a wise choice. However, since your mental process for judging the reliability of a single layer is probably less than 99% reliable, adding another layer helps protect against unknown errors.

> So isn't fixing bugs in existing C codebases just throwing good money after bad?

I'd agree, with this train of thought:

The author says "in C, writing reliable software is somewhere between extremely difficult and impossible."
To me, that sounds like writing in C is 2%-10% reliable. If writing in rust would be 40-80% reliable, that is a powerful argument for incrementally porting something to rust if that thing will continue to need to change.
Wood is still extremely common here in North America. Much of our construction lumber comes from "tree farms", intentionally planted forests growing trees as a crop.
As I understand it, the big problem isn't so much chemical as physical - they need to encapsulate the mRNA evenly within lipid particles of a reasonably uniform size, and there's some pretty advanced microfluidic technology involved in doing this. Conventional vaccine production has the advantage that biology takes care of all that pesky encapsulation business.

> Also, most users are not aware that third-party iOS browsers like Chrome, Brave, and Firefox are actually just light UI "skins" on top of the Safari browser engine, Webkit. Apple refuses to allow third party browser engines on iOS.

IME even a lot of developers are unaware of this fact.

An added annoyance flowing from this is that Apple does not allow remote debugging for webviews, so any reasonable debugging flow for those browsers is blocked. Great fun when you have a bug in iOS Chrome only.
Ah ok thanks, I hadn't heard it before.
I think GP meant "brick" as "rectangular block used in building". Most buildings in most of Europe are made from these. Bricks made from clay are indeed not common in new constructions today. Clay bricks might look nice, but in buildings we rarely expose the brick so that doesn't matter
I assume you're talking about the first one? Having the gene for depression here would not always cause the individual to be depressed. Actually that would hold for both cases.

The trait is passed on because it benefits the species. You have to consider more than individuals in the evolution of social animals. In various circumstances some organisms will eat their own offspring. Obviously the "infanticide gene" if considered alone, would not make evolutionary sense, yet there it is.
It all started with a slight wording error.

There's a part of me that that thinks there are no accidents. Yes--that whole Freud thing.

As I have aged, I do think their are accidents, and life is a gamble. It has always bothered me the rich can afford to take chances, but that's another story.

I still think it's best to think you can control your fate with most acccidents though.

In high school, and college, I drove without insurance. (California used to require auto insurance, but didn't mandate it at DMV. I honestly couldn't afford it.)

I used to think of driving as walking on a cliff's edge. You just don't make a mistake. It did work, but I probally got very lucky too.
Wood shingles (shakes) are used, but extremely rarely. The most common roofing type is asphalt shingles. Tile and metal roofs are far more common than wood.
"They don’t just get something installed, or not, in some obscure part of their device’s storage, without ever knowing about it. "

Like I said in the originally statement: it would be allright for me, if apple and everyone else, regulary deletes all local storage of any pwa's that haven't been installed. And I have read nowhere here in this thread, that anyone is in favor of PWA's sneakily installing.

Yes, it should be very clear and visible, when you install something. But that is for the browser/OS makers to implement and not the issue here.

My experience with dynamic types comes from developing in Python. The projects I've seen were pretty healthy until a large enough part of the original team went away. Once enough people had to figure out their way by experimenting, the projects got messy.

I'm not saying this doesn't happen in Java or Go but the static typing enables easier code exploration. That makes code bases more readable to newcomers.

> We had a tyre blow out on a motorway in Scotland

All UK motorways have location signs posted every 500m (coupled with distance marker posts at 100m intervals) that are specifically designed so drivers with breakdowns can report their position...... not to mention the (free) orange SOS landline phones every 1 mile which, if used, will automatically report your position. (a little arrow on the marker post points to the nearest SOS phone; you are never more than half a mile from one).

You had to learn this for your driving test :-)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_location_sign

EDIT: My mistake, only England has adopted the driver location signs. The rest of the UK makes do with the distance marker post system (and SOS phones if needed).
You assume that the only thing in the password vault is the password to the banking website? Which could not even be used to close my account even if I was the one requesting it

They brew them. A DNA sequence that encodes the intended mRNA strand is embedded into a bacterial plasmid. Bacteria take in that plasmid and reproduce, making a bunch of plasmids with the mRNA encoding DNA embedded in them. The bacteria are killed and broken open and the plasmids are purified.

The DNA sequence is then cut out of the plasmids and transcribed into mRNA.

I bet getting that batch of bacteria to grow and make lots of the desired plasmids is a nice trick to pull off.

Well, Trumps actions would have been self-serving and cynical (as they all were). Biden hasn't shown those 'qualities'. Which is why I (and the WHO) give him the benefit of the doubt in this case.
<meter> allows you to define an optimal and a sub-optimal value, such that a full meter might be bad (or good) depending on where the value lands relative to it.

Although, one could argue that a <progress> is just a <meter> where the optimal value is 100%.

Your comment prompted me to google for those tools once more. One that I did not know about before is Eclipse Memory Analyzer. The screenshots[1] look promising, especially "Path to GC Roots". I didn't know that was possible. Is there something comparable for .NET?

The comment I was responding was specifically talking about "hating" Muslims & Islam.

You're talking about criticising with arguments (using Christianity and a quote). The arguments may be bunk (taking a quote out of context - something that happens all too often amongst Islamophobes), or it may be spot on.

There's a world of difference there.
What would be the point of a galaxy spanning civilization enslaving other species? We’re single planet savages and we’re getting close to building universal robots that can perform all of our labor, at the most it will be another half century. At that point any non bioengineered organism will be slower, weaker, less durable and less replaceable.

It’s much more likely that we just don’t have anything they want.
these are really good!
Haha, on anything other than tech stuff I definitely agree.
This was my reaction as well.

I haven't used Process Monitor/Process Explorer for a while, are they bringing anything to the table that's not covered by htop?
With htop, I can even start tracing a process (using strace) or list the file opened by a process (using lsof) right inside htop. As might be obvious by now, I think htop has a fantastic TUI that also fits its use case very well.

Of course there are other tools that allow deep introspection into what's really going on aside from htop. Another favorite of mine would be perf top, which uses the sampling profiling mechanism to profile the entire system (including the kernel) on a symbol/instruction level. In other words, you don't just see that 30% of CPU time is spent in /usr/bin/cpu_hog, you also see that the time is spent in some_symbol and you can jump right in and see disassemble some_symbol (as long as cpu_hog is not stripped).
That makes the most sense.

To sieve through all the content and delete would be a painful task as well as it making the site look bare. Easier to rebrand and throw up content that wasn't NSFL.
In that type of usage, the brick is decorative; it doesn't act as insulation, which is behind the brick.
With function calls, yes.

What makes it different is that syntactic constructs are also expressed with the same syntax and there is no special syntax, so control flow constructs use a syntax similar to function calls.

This is particularly exuberant in Arc where what in many languages would be:

if (<cond1>) {
<then expr1>
} else if (<cond2>) {
<then expr2>
} else if (<cond3>) {
<then expr3>
} else {
<else expr>
}

Would instead be:

(if
<cond1> <then expr1>
<cond2> <then expr2>
<cond3> <then expr3>
<else expr>)

Note the complete lack of syntax beyond a keyword having 7 arguments in order, which many find nonconsecutive to reading, and also error prone as accidentally making a typo can completely change the meaning of the program.

It is thus that most Lisps have somewhat more redundant syntax:

(cond
[<cond1> <then expr1>]
[<cond2> <then expr2>]
[<cond3> <then expr3>]
(else <else expr>))

Personally, I wouldn't mind that a mandatory `->` be required in between the conditions and the expression to further guard against accidental typos. I find that redundancy in syntax guards against accidental mistakes, though I have nothing against the parentheses and in fact favor them.

I generally keep out of such discussions, however, and with all due respect, my comment here had no nationalistic motivation and speaks about the Chinese government, not the Chinese race or even populace.

It's about a government who has a demonstrable history of acting in bad faith[0], nation-level bullying[1], human rights violations[2], etc.

So when that government approves a rocket designed so that it will not burn up but crash somewhere, a piece of information directly taken from the linked article, I can't help but notice it fits into a pattern.

This was a good argument in the past, because there were very few ios exploits and apple was proactive in hunting them down, to prevent jailbreaking. Not sure if it is a valid argument today.
“What could possibly go wrong?”
> And yet today the US government (which is clearly an alliance of states)

That's not correct: The "alliance of states" was under the (superseded) Articles of Confederation — the governance failures of which led to the 1787 constitutional convention. In contrast, the very first words of the Constitution state explicitly that "We, the People of the United States" [emphasis added] were joining together to establish a national polity that transcended the states.

> People have used the wording "No state" to imply that the Federal government is not a state

It's far, far more than just a mere implication — it's a foundational assumption. See, for example, the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. [0]

Depends where you live. There are towns in California where it’s all ceramic. Skate is popular in some older homes but it’s quite expensive.

Most homes have asphalt tiles as they are reliable, easy to install, and inexpensive vs the other options.

Rapper Will.i.am Unveils XuperMask, a Smart Protective Mask
Which is fine for Mediterranean, but ie rest of europe looks exactly opposite - pale white from late autumn till late spring, very little to no sun exposure per day, sometimes nothing for a week or longer.

And then super intense exposure over vacation or sunny weekends. I am not even talking about long hours in the office or covid lockdowns, just regular situation. When its colder then logically people dress more. Add more pale skin by default, meaning less genetic predisposition for good long term protection and the result is what we see.
I do know Trump contested the election results, but I couldn't parse that from your Trump's re-election. I guess it hasn't been magnified as much here in the EU as in the US, and I don't particular mind much of the mainstream media. For me, Biden won in November and Trump apparently had a hard time accepting it. Big deal.

Ignorance is bliss : practically, keeping up with the news doesn't really do much for anybody.

To be clear, that inflation means an increase in the price level is not my definition. It's the generally accepted definition. The fact that a fringe group known for their crackpot ideas and their rejection of empiricism, representing <0.00000001% of the world's population, may or may not (even that is debatable) use the term inflation differently is irrelevant. So what are you saying? That it is possible for the price level to increase or decrease at a fixed rate without a governing body managing the money supply? How would that work exactly?

> Also peak performance is allready passed even with multicore because of RAM latency.

By that logic CPUs from today should be slower than those from 2005, since the real (uncached) memory latency has increased (significantly) for most systems.

Though I suppose this means you could actually engineer workloads that run slower on a modern 5 GHz CPU than on a 2005-era Athlon 64.
