> And when you observe that mask mandating states don’t do significantly better than mask-free states, then a curious mind rightfully starts pondering.

If this is true, which I haven't confirmed, wouldn't that say more about the effectiveness of political policy rather than about masks themselves? When we have seen throughout the pandemic that healthcare workers have a dramatically lower rate of infection compared to the general population, despite having more direct contact with infected populations, it is clear to the that proper precautions including protective equipment (principally masks, for a respiratory disease) can impede COVID transmission heavily. With that being the case, the question becomes: has mask policy been effective in getting enough people to wear masks properly and consistently, in states where it is mandated?
This is not only baseless, but incredibly inflammatory and dehumanizing. Hackernews is not the place for this type of comment.
It shouldn't be hard to divy up states (granted you might have to cut a state into more than two parts in some cases) in a way that results in no net gain for either party. It's a simple math problem.
I wanted to add 3-way switches to a few poorly-designed circuits in my house. I dislike the design of most smart switches, but this is what I went with after looking at a lot of options.
If your definition of authoritarianism is ubiquitous video surveillance you'll have to come to terms with the fact that not only every politician is authoritarian but just about every citizen, because there's pretty strong support for these security measures.

The word authoritarianism appears to have lost all meaning in internet circles. What authoritarianism actually is, is a people being governed without their consent by a government they did not elect. If British citizens, or their representatives decide they put significant value on public safety rather than privacy that's a choice.

You see how everyone's talking about Beat Saber? That's not a coincidence :)

Seriously. What a fun game. And it scales really well -- I play most maps on Expert+ 120%, breaking into 150% speed. Here's a recent example (this one is just Expert though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFCxrNS9GgY -- And one on Expert+: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdLZ6B2AB1Q

The only criticism I have of Beat Saber fitness-wise is that it doesn't train many muscles. It's mostly the shoulders, arms and a bit the wrists. Some songs train your core but you can't rely on that. It's awesome for rythm and reaction speed, however, so it's a good mental training too.

The sweat is a problem. The silicone masks are great (I use the VRCover ones -- https://vrcover.com/ -- Oculus sent me a pair because I had skin problems with the foam one), but they do not let my head breathe at all so I sweat even more. They're definitely less gross, though.
Does this mean we can now have a SOA in the browser? True separation of concerns: Render code deal with writing to DOM, when data is needed it calls a node API proxy server which in tern interfaces with REST/grpc/graphql servers, then there's also auth service, and also a local (literally local) cache service. All in the browser. Damn.
> My earlier push for classroom SRS solutions was driven by a belief I came to see as fallacious: that forgetting is the undoing of learning. This epistemic shift drove me to abandon designs for a custom app that would have integrated whole-class and individual SRS functions.

It's funny, I can't recall every hearing anybody say "satellite dish" for a terrestrial antenna in my years in metro and suburban California. I've heard "reflector dish", "dish antenna", "microwave dish", or "directional antenna" (which could also apply to YAGI and other non-dish structures).

I wonder if it is regional or has other socioeconomic factors? Actual satellite dishes weren't common structures when I was growing up, outside either a sports bar with satellite TV feeds or more commonly large dishes on industrial, military, or scientific facilities. Other, smaller directional antenna were more commonly seen on radio towers etc.

This is a major issue today. People do not understand why people with different views hold the views they hold. There is an assumption that the other people are not data driven, are just emotional and cling to the way things used to be. I think one reason is the completely different lifestyles held by people. We have some people in urban / suburban areas and some some people in rural. So many people who do not live in rural areas have never even been to such an area for any extended period of time. They don't get to know the people or mentality thst comes with it.
Can you please go into more detail as to what exactly is being compiled to wasm? The post does not describe it. In particular there seems to be a lot of confusion about whether the JS engine itself is running in wasm or not.
You will never get J/K brevity by writing a condensed for of normal Lisp because spaces are often required to separate tokens.

You can get implicit control flow via macros.

Furthermore, all control flow is implicit is some way.

Take basic old progn: (progn (foo) (bar)) evaluates (foo) and then control implicitly passes to (bar) because that's the next thing.

The only control flow which is not implicit is that of a state machine described by a table or graph, indicating the next state for every input and current state.

(How can you say you can't get implicit control flow in Lisp, when I'm using pattern matching to express if you see this prefix, replace it with that?)

Speaking of macros, you could always resort to a macro like this:

(j"... line noise in character string ...")

The j macro expands the string to code at compile time. The code could be a bona fide J implementation, or something like it. That's still not down to J, because of the (j"") wrapping chewing up five characters. In a Lisp with a programmable read table, that could be reduced to two character framing or something.

The original article's interpretation seemed untenable.

While the difference between "Permissible" and "Possible" could be quite significant, in this case, it was qualifying:

> [Permissible/Possible] undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment (with or without the issuance of a diagnostic message), to terminating a translation or execution (with the issuance of a diagnostic message).

The previously-"Permissible" behaviors were so broad that they basically allowed anything, including translating the source-code in any documented manner.. which basically means that, as long as a compiler says how it'll treat undefined-behavior, it can do it that way, because it's free to completely reinterpret the source-code in any (documented) manner.
I don't think I made a category error, the process is not democratic and the continued decision making by the demos would be contrary to their desire (to have a less direct democracy) so would remain undemocratic. Votes within the system would be democratic inasmuch as they were 'by the people' but they wouldn't have supreme power -- as they couldn't choose to change the system -- and so it would fall short of being democratic. It was, and remains, a cutesy and non-productive comment.

>A totalitarian dictatorship is not more democratic than a body of elected representatives, even if the people voted to implement that dictatorship. //

To press the useless point: yes, a dictatorship is less democratic as the people no longer have the power vested in them (and would have to reclaim it by a coup, or similar).

On your second point, you're right. My go to for reflecting on democracy is 'government by the people and _for_ the people' and that has coloured my response. I do think there's an element of necessary agency, which suggests a qualitative aspect, however.

But strictly, I concede, government to the utmost detriment of the demos could be democratic in the primary sense of the word.
I don't see why Oregon would object unless there is some industry out there that is paying megabucks in taxes.

Dumping a bunch of people sucking down more money than they pay seems like a win for Oregon.

Idaho, on the other hand, might object. That would be comedy gold.

Wait, what? That's completely bonkers. There's absolutely no way to condense four years of studies into two days of YouTube. I can't believe I'm even having to say this.

I'm hoping what you mean is "introduce you to the topics that would be covered in an undergrad physics degree". In 24 hours you could reasonably mention each of the topics covered in a degree and describe what that field is about.

After reading this article a few years ago I mail ordered some Long Pepper to try at home. I love black pepper's flavor and am always looking for better kinds of pepper; the idea there's a related spice that's "better" was exciting to me.

No such luck. The flavor was nice but definitely milder than high quality black peppercorns. And not appreciably different. I mean maybe I got unlucky and got a stale batch or something, but I wasn't impressed. An added drawback is long pepper has a lot more plant material; the interior of each pepper is pretty fibrous and flavorless. Works OK with a spice grinder but not great. I ended up not using very much of it before turning most of it into extract. Eventually I threw it out.

If that doesn't dissuade you, you can order more long pepper than you're likely to use for about $11 from an online store in Chicago: https://www.thespicehouse.com/products/long-pepper
You're being downvoted because your statement is a bit inflammatory and leaps to condemnation. However, it is otherwise a very accurate take in my opinion. OP has presented their view as inherently rational, correct, and moral, and presented conservative views as "emotional" or "lacking understanding". That type of moral assertion absolutely IS one of the main complaints I see from rural conservatives about urban liberals.

Ex-fucking-actly right.

Various legislation around internet-related activities cleaning to be to "protect children" only shifts government resources and funding away from the departments that actually do something real and tangible to protect children.

Child protection where I'm from only has the resources to attend to reports in which the child is in immediate, life-threatening danger.

If a politician is talking about protecting children and it doesn't include increased funding for the actual child protection agencies and education of the bottom end of society, then they're actually working against protecting children. It's gross politics and should be called out.
+1 for AxiDraw if you’re not into restoring a vintage machine. I’ve been impressed with the build quality of mine (it’s going on four years with no issues).

I’m also a fan of the Saxi driver software. Paired with a Raspberry Pi, it gives you a web-based interface to an AxiDraw so that you don’t have to physically connect your computer to the plotter.

Security4Startups: Detailed, actionable checklist for securing your startup
> - "Undefined behavior" means that C implementations are allowed to assume that the respective runtime condition does not ever occur, and for example can generate optimized code based on that assumption.

Please note that the article is making the specific argument that this interpretation of UB is an incorrect interpretation. The author is arguing that you, me, the llvm and gcc teams are wrong to interpret UB that way.

Linux had a bug in it a few years ago; the code would dereference a pointer, then check if it was null, then returned an error state if it was null, or continued performing the important part of the function. The compiler deduced that if the pointer had been null when it was dereferenced, that's UB, so the null check was unnecessary, and optimized the null check out. The trouble was that in that context, a null pointer dereference didn't trap, (because it was kernel code? not sure.) so the bug was not detected. It ended up being an exploitable security vulnerability in the kernel, I think a local privilege escalation.

The article is making the argument that the compiler should not be free to optimize out the null check before subsequent dereferences. The compiler is permitted to summon nasal demons where the pointer is dereferenced the first time, but should not be free to summon nasal demons at later lines of code, after the no-nasal-demons-please check.

(The linux kernel now uses -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks to ensure that doesn't happen again. The idea is that even though it was a bug that UB was invoked, the failure behavior should be safe instead of granting root privileges to an unprivileged user.)

Gerrymandering has to do with influencing representation in the US Congress. I think this has more to do with state government, particularly the ability for more people to live under the type of state government they would prefer. Portlanders would probably prefer an even more liberal state government than Oregon already has while eastern Oregonians evidently prefer the Idaho state government to their own.

I sincerely think this is exactly what the US needs: a civil agreement that you people can live over there under the laws that you prefer, while we can live here under the laws that we prefer, and that we coexist as a federation of states instead of just fighting to impose a single national politics on everyone.
Hmm. Although they were not actually called feature phones. Feature phones was what we started calling phones that weren't smartphones after smartphones came to be a thing/word.
"Though I find understanding the deeply divided viewpoints in the US very elusive."

It's not a big mystery. A lot of politicians are making their careers by dividing people.

Some policies are just downright mean, and seem to serve little purpose other than division.

Conservative/rural people are often on the receiving end, because they just don't have a large enough constituency to fight it. Sure, they are winning some battles, but each one is uphill and the slope is steepening rapidly.

Sadly, the country will suffer greatly. The left is wrong on a lot of things (or at least too extreme), but they are in control and there will be little pushback going forward. Even moderate democrats are being trampled.

No. Just let the language naturally evolve. This "agreement" was an awful thing forced down by political forces.

Context: I'm Brazilian and during high school I studied Portuguese "one official version behind". It had more rules, but the language itself was way nicer, and people used to write more close to it, than nowadays.

It's better to have a few mistakes due to some archaic rules than to force everything to be sterile and complicate how you pronounce things IMHO

Just let people evolve the language naturally instead...

Your right to be skeptical as it's not the case. It's being driven by individuals within Idaho moving to more urban parts of Idaho.

Locals say it's all "Californians," but that is just short hand for folks out of state but surveys and data from ITD (Idaho Transportation Department, i.e. DMV) show it's urbanization at work.

Granted there are folks moving to Idaho from outside of the state but they are the minority causing the influx to CDA and Boise.
