Good article. They rightly attribute the reuben sandwich to the Blackstone hotel.

Anyway, I'm enthralled by the idea of a lobster roll. I had clam chowder one time when we were in New England and it blew me away. I ate the pint and tried to go back and buy another, but my husband stopped me. I've had it a number of times since back here in the middle of the country and it doesn't even compare. Even in fancy restaurants, it's just not the same. I really want to try a lobster roll, but I have the feeling I'm not going to find one around here that does the sandwich justice.
I gotta say, those cones are awful. They marked off a lane, but used VERY few cones to do it, and from the side street the car is on it's not at all clear that it's the right lane that's been closed.

This is the kind of situation that confuses new human drivers too. Interpreting it basically requires that you have a model in your head of what cones are used for and the ability to guess that the traffic approaching from the left in only one lane indicates that the traffic to the right must use the left lane.

I'd be very curious if this conework was even legal. If you want to guide left-turning vehicles around the right lane you need to put something IN FRONT of the lane you closed. And that applies to side streets too, I'm almost sure.

Watch /r/idiotsincars for a bit, you'll see people misidentify this kind of situation all the time.

Frankly what the car did, stopping and calling for help, is the right move. A new human driver would almost certainly have just pulled out into the wrong lane.

The analogy breaks down because the USB zapper isn't intended to cause bodily harm, unlike a laxative.
Library changes aren’t what they used to be. It was once frameworks of the month. At this point, React has been undisputed king for over half a decade. Major libraries like react, moment, lodash, express, etc all have had stable APIs for years now and aren’t any worse that any other language I’ve used.

Complaints like integers come from not studying the language and not keeping up to date.

Asm.js type directives have offered 31-bit integers for years now on all major JITs. That is slowly not working again as wasm takes over, but BigInt has been included for quite a few browser versions now.

Jesus, what a depressing post. We must allow the existence of shitty "backup" software because otherwise they'll just mandate backdoors? Have you already given up?

How about citizens have an expectation of integrity in using their computation devices that the state may not infringe upon. The state buying these tools and using them, in what is often a constitutional gray area, is harming all of us by making our devices less secure.
80% of transit riders in LA live in households with $40K or less in household income. 50% are at or below poverty level. so LA Metro is planning to try out going fareless for all of its buses and trains for those 80%. i have mixed feelings about this. on one hand, reliable transportation is crucial to participating in the economy, so it helps level the playing field a little bit. on the other, this will counterintuitively devalue public transportation further, since ‘free’ has associations to ‘unvaluable’.
That's true, but I didn't put the USB zapper to harm anyone. I use it for testing USB grounding and some officer stole my phone.
> Also, is leaving a file that breaks the admissibility of previously gathered evidence considered active hacking? Am I misunderstanding something about the function of the files in Signal? I thought the only way Cellebrite's software is interacted with is if it tries to access Signal on the device. Signal isn't actively searching to hack back. It's triggered by Cellebrite's software, not Signal's.

Yes this is called booby trapping and at least in the US is illegal. It’s akin to tying a trigger to a door opening so that whoever opens the door gets shot, even if that person had no right to be there, you can still be held liable for any injury the bullet causes.
booby traps that cause harm are illegal, someone stealing my phone who cuts themselves on a broken piece of glass from the screen can't argue "it's a booby trap"

You could watch (or edit) movies in Premiere or any other editing software with color correcting/grading. But there really isn't much to work with once you are talking about finished movies. I'm not sure it would be worth the effort.
The traffic cone setup is ambiguous. There's a line of traffic cones between two lanes, but nothing indicates which lane is supposed to be closed.

This is an OSHA violation by the construction workers. "When redirection of the road users’ normal path is required, they shall be channelized from the normal path to a new path."[1] There's supposed to be a diagonal line of cones across the closed lane to channel traffic away from the closed lane. See the drawings in [1].

Stopping was a good move.

They may be confusing, but I highly doubt a human driver would pull to the middle of the road and stop for 5+ minutes as drivers honked and drove around.

Honestly, if it had just stayed on the side street, I wouldn't be so critical, but the fact that even after an assistance team was dispatched, the car pulled into the main highway and then immediately stopped would have frightened me enough to get out of the car and wait on the sidewalk. You can also see a moment where the car starts to pull out into traffic as another car is passing it and then immediately slams on the brakes.
2 separate questions:

How do I remove or edit individual posts?

If I want to delete an account and blog, the option "Sign out" link - https://hexo.press/logout doesn't seem different from the actual "Delete Account and Blog". Am I missing something? Also, definitely should confirm a deletion of a blog page.

Otherwise, great idea and implementation.

What if you separated the doings of the nations' leaders and military from what this is, a discussion about old school technology in the form of watches? One presumes the watchmakers didn't run gulags in their spare times.

> fish are way less intelligent than farm animals

There is no concrete evidence of this. A lot of sea creatures, including fish, have skin cells that can create polarized light and some seem to have developed communication systems with pulses of polarized light.

Just the other day it was found that some fish can pass the mirror test, didn't you see that?

The prevailing theory is that ratio of brain mass to body mass is more telling than the absolute size of the brain. Fish may fare worse on this metric but I suspect it's just an area where we have very little understanding yet.

Being vegetarian or vegan is not so hard. It is one of many fundamental changes that society should pursue to avert the current ecological crisis and mitigate species loss.

I think the opposite. More linguistic diversity in FLOSS means less accessibility. having a universal standard here means that if you want to contribute, you learn exactly ONE language, which also happens to be the so-called global language.

Conversely, in the linguistically fragmented scenario, you're SOL, as it's pretty unreasonable to learn N different languages.
Multiple legal experts have chimed in, all suggesting that this is unlikely to impact cases. People on HN might assume that the existence of a vulnerability strongly implies that it will have been exploited in every case where it is relevant, but that's not how normal people think, and in this case, the normal people are closer to the truth than the nerds are.
Booby trapping specifies a device that causes bodily harm to a living thing, legally. There is no chance of bodily harm from evidence becoming inadmissible. The question of whether it is considered a computer virus, legally, is my question. Signal isn't actively trying to hack Cellebrite.
That’s analogous to using React on the backend. Kind of a non sequitur

That's not even arguing in good faith, or shows an extreme lack of experience. Auth/auth is routinely cached. Even if it's a database call, the query used there will likely be cached. Auth is a miniscule portion of a web page's performance.

I'm not sold. Why do I want a scripting language to glue together that is designed to be good a glueing things together?

It's a common misconception that programming languages are either fast or expressive - D is both. The rub is probably that you need to know more about programming in the sense that you have to have good aesthetic taste but also a knowledge of what makes programs actually fast to achieve both.

And besides, what is a script? Code. If you're really only going to use a file once, then I guess do what ever you want but most "scripts" end up being programs.
You write down some goals and discuss with direct supervisor. After 1 year, another meeting to see how well you did, and you get a rating like "Succeeded", "Succeeded+" or even "Excelled". Set some new goals for the next year, rinse and repeat.

For promotions, you give a 1-2hr presentation on the work you've done to a group of other developers and managers not directly working with you. Work done needs to match 51% of the competencies to go to the next level. Usually the pay increase is 10% per level (promotion).

It's practically impossible to get fired. Only way is up.
Stopping in the middle of a busy highway is not safe. Cars come from behind much more quickly than anticipated. If one driver isn't paying attention and swerves to avoid it, the car behind that could easily rear-end you.

As soon as the assistance team was dispatched, the car should have stayed where it was. Instead, it pulled out into a much busier road and stopped again.
Agreed, I think calling them enums is an example of trying a little too hard to make the language seem comforting and familiar to c/c++ programmers at the expense of clarity.

You have to clearly define "next level". Is this over a time span of 5 years or one month?

My next level is to be able to write Android unit tests for networks by Monday; it's not something Stack Overflow solves.

It should be beyond your best abilities now. How do you do something beyond your best ability? By finding someone else who has done it before. If you want to build a billion dollar SaaS in 5 years, look for someone who has done it or attempted it. If there are books on the topic, read all the books. It's bad manners if you haven't done your homework.

Most of the time, you should expect to be one level below your mentor. If you want to make a billion dollar company, you should already be able to make a hundred-million dollar company. Someone a level below the mentor is already quite rare, and many mentors appreciate having someone around to bounce thoughts off without having to dumb down their words to explain a concept.

Thus concludes today's mentoring session on how to find a mentor.

Do such laws apply to digital booby traps though?
He mentions this in the article.
I do embedded also, and FPGAs. Do you have any suggestions for how to start learning web stuff? Every time I try, I get overwhelmed by all the frameworks, libraries, package managers, build pipelines, etc. There doesn't seem to be a set of best practices for what to do, or even what is needed and what isn't. What is the best way to get started?
It seems to still be pretty relevant.
I feel like you’re conflating “charging” and “suing” here. Cellbrite would sue, and in doing so would need to allege damages. Given that they wrote code to extract data from Signal, and Signal gave public warning that doing so might be dangerous, it seems implausible they’d be able to claim damages. “Boobytrapping” in physical space usually becomes problematic when it’s a surprise: if you hop over my fence to rob me and are injured by land mines in my yard, I’m at fault. If I have signs saying “Warning, this yard is full of dangerous objects, do not hop the fence, you may be harmed”… dramatically less so.

“The police” generally don’t sue, The State charges. And for the state to charge someone with a crime, it can’t just vaguely be “hacking”, it would need to be a violation of a criminal statue. At best, this would perhaps be tampering with evidence? Because I doubt you’d find a jury willing to convict someone of a violation of, for example, the CFAA, for activity that they undertook solely within their own app, which did not initiate any activity until scanned by Celebrite’s tool
"Mechanically stabilized earth" is almost magical strength-for-free. By including cheap and seemingly weak plastic mesh, you can easily create vertical earth walls supporting roads, etc. that don't need any retaining wall. I've built many of them in my very steep backyard to create more usable space. It's amazing that it seemingly hadn't been discovered until the 1970's or so. Maybe because long life plastics weren't available before?
I’d claim they didn’t own the cards. When they send out new cards to replace the H cards, they didn’t have us send them back. They abandoned the property and no longer can claim ownership.
I would guess that it is way simpler than that. What will be gauged is the intent.

> It's going to have to pick between less bad situations because humans in fact have to do so.

Yeah but not trolley problem style. "Don't swerve" is a valid strategy for a car.

> Example running over an animal to avoid an accident

Depends on the kind of accident you have in mind, so I can't give real feedback here.

> getting rear ended to avoid hitting a pedestrian

Always brake to avoid hitting a pedestrian. You don't choose whether to get rear-ended and it won't be your fault either.

> taking a calculated risk of being hit by oncoming traffic on a 2 lane situation when coming across a stalled car without optimal view on the road ahead.

When one of the choices is "sit there and wait longer", that's definitely not a trolley problem. It either thinks going forward is sufficiently safe or it doesn't. It can wait all day for someone to intervene.

> Imagine on a 2 lane there is a pedestrian and oncoming traffic and insufficient time to stop. Do you kill the pedestrian or risk ending up in the ditch.

If it's programmed not to swerve, it will hit the pedestrian, which is an acceptable outcome of an unacceptable situation.

> If you are going 60 and ending up in the ditch would likely be fatal is it ok to just smear the pedestrian?

It's sufficiently ok when the only alternative is so reckless. Getting into that situation is the not-ok part.

> What if you can slow to 20 and then ditch?

If you can slow to 20 then hit the pedestrian at 20.
Do you have some additional facts on the case, or are you just regurgitating your preconceived notions?

You seem to be so sure that Mr. Ligon was just a victim drawn into this situation but for all you know he could be a completely cold-hearted killer.

As someone with a friend who was stabbed to death, I personally am glad to live in a society where stabbing people is more gravely punished than a *tragic mistake*.

This data ignores the common preference each gender has for age. It's as common for a heterosexual man to be 10 years older than his partner, as it is for a man to be two years younger. This would be more meaningful if the data was weighted by the probability of a marriage for each given age and gender.

To clarify a bit on the difference between DasBetterC and ImportC:

DasBetterC is what its name suggests, it's for C lovers who enjoy programming in C, but:

1. are sick and tired of buffer overflows

2. want to do metaprogramming but realize that metaprogramming with the C preprocessor is barbaric

3. want modules and struct member functions

4. don't want a runtime other than the C standard library

ImportC is a straight up ISO C11 compiler. It's not for programming in (although you can do it easily enough), it's so D can directly access your existing C code, without having to tediously translate it to D.

To that end, ImportC doesn't warn about execrable coding practice, the error messages are utilitarian, and has no extra features. If ISO C11 says it's ok, ImportC stamps it with approval.
No, that is past, we need to do better. Tolerance has its places but sex and gender not being the same is not controversial any more. It's not like mass vs weight which is mostly of interest to physicist. We are talking about real people. Truly, there's no place for this any more. We need to do better. Tolerance is necessary to accept people not like us and but erasing their very existence by using certain words is not tolerance.
