> especially considering the ways that female characters are sometimes objectified or presented in a sexualized manner

Probably the most interesting and persuasive case they have. What if a human being dressed like League's Evelynn, a succubus? Would they be banned from Twitch? No, of course not. Would it be sexually suggestive? They've illuminated how disingenuous of a question that is, because Evelynn is a character in a game people stream.

That some people are unsure should be telling.
Absolutely. Corporations do things like this all the time. Amazon orders a crash-halt to office building construction projects whenever Seattle threatens to tax them, for example. As I said in my original comment - corporations can afford to play the long game and take the hit.
Not 100% certain about this, but I can give my understanding and some links.

Have a look at https://www.sqlite.org/faq.html#q5. Multiple process can have the database open. Multiple processes can read the database simultaneously. Only one process can write to the database at each moment.

For the above to be true WAL has to be enabled. Otherwise writes in the one process will block reads from other processes. You can test this with two simple scripts that write and read with an uneven interval from the database (I have an example for that under [0], german, but with code).

I think the idea is that you can also have multiple process that write, they just have to set a timeout and retry. That's not the default configuration, not with the sqlite libs I know at least. But if write processes just retry then that should also work. PRAGMA busy_timeout should be the keyword here, or handling it manually by catching the timeout exception and retrying.

I usually try to avoid that scenario regardless, one process that writes and many that read worked for me for everything so far.

For the first time in my life I've seen private security in my neighborhood. We're in one of the poorer areas of the city (ie $1-2.5m houses), so perhaps people cannot afford to leave?

I've always thought security on demand was a great idea- the real killer app in my mind is having a map online of which houses the private security company protects, so as to create an incentive for people who aren't paying to get protection as the thieves know what's ripe for the picking.

FlutterFlow cofounder here. Thanks for your input on our pricing.

It's more than knowing how to code, we've been building with Flutter for a while now, but there's still no way we could have coded FlutterMet in under an hour. It would take us 10 hrs+ to manually do that. But it took <1 hour in FlutterFlow.

Also, we allow you to push the generated code to your Github repository, so you don't have to keep paying us once you build your app. :)

As someone that owns a truck, I actually recommend this to a lot of people. It's really quite affordable and easy to rent one as needed too. However, there are definitely situations where a truck is vastly superior.

I own a consulting company and I am a civl / environmental engineer that ends up driving a lot of forest service roads. ...so I have a 4wd truck. There are definitely weirdos out there that make a lot of judgments about me because I drive a truck.
Twitch put it succinctly here:

>Prohibiting every form of content that could be interpreted as suggestive would also result in far more restrictions on the video games and premium content that we currently allow, especially considering the ways that female characters are sometimes objectified or presented in a sexualized manner.

I’d have chosen “I also” to explain, even then it’s not what he uses but it makes a bit more sense in English:

- I also [don’t like cake]

After 15+ years speaking and writing English daily, I still trip over the use of “in, on, at”.

And every now and then I have my first time pronouncing a word that I’ve known for years, from reading book in my teens. When I first tried to pronounce “phlegm” I tried to sound every letter on it.

> President Joe Biden’s top appointees have called white supremacists the greatest security threat to the country

Easy to do when you pull tricks such as not using per-capita statistics or refusing to consider other hate groups because their anger is "valid" [1], or give non-fatal events the same weight as fatal ones [2]. How can anyone consider an organization, that uses "While these groups can be virulently anti-white, this prejudice does not represent the same threat as white supremacy in America." as an excuse to ignore hate crimes, remotely trustworthy?

I wonder how many of them NEED all the fancy computers they own? (I know I don't.)
Regarding the vertical cursor movement, back in the day there was an alternative behavior. You can see this in QuickBASIC/QBasic[1]. Here, Microsoft treated the entire screen as a grid. I always thought that was a great UI. It hides the fact that there are line endings (\n on Unix or \r\n for DOS). And why shouldn't it? That's an implementation detail. And as evident by DOS using CR+LF it goes back to the days where you had an actual physical carriage on a typewriter. Nearly every modern text editor you have to type out the spaces/tabs you want to reach the area you what to add text. In QBasic, you just move the cursor wherever you want on the screen with arrow keys and start typing. Because, unlike a typewriter, a computer screen is 2D. Vim has block mode but, AFAIK, can only work on selections. Of course, this is not universal and only works with monospace fonts in certain languages. But back in the day it made it easy to create ASCII/ANSI diagrams and art.

Modern text editing is a multilayered mess. Rendering, input methods, variable width fonts, and the special codes (markdown, etc.). On some sites it's not even self-consistent. Take Jira. Last I checked, they have one editor for creating a ticket and an entirely different editor for editing that same ticket[2] (one of these editors sucks more than the other, but I can never remember which... but neither one is remotely what I would consider a "good" interface). How they got there is truly the 8th Wonder of the World.

I run a SAAS product that helps digital agencies scan/monitor/remediate sites for accessibility issues, and unless one of their clients was recently sued I have a pretty low success rate getting them to start a trial.

There could be a lot of other factors at play (I'm terrible at sales, my landing page isn't good enough, etc), but my sense is that it's not something that is on the radar for most small/medium agencies and freelancers.

These are the folks that are building a whole lot of the web, including the local businesses that people using assistive technologies would really like to be able to access easily.
Private security patrolling exclusive neighborhoods in LA has been a thing since the 70s. Even the scientology properties all over town have a private security force riding on those mall cop segways.
I didn't know there were so many outraged prudes on twitch. Why should twitch have a sexually suggestive content rule in the first place?

This rule actually seems reasonable:

> Nudity or sexually explicit content (which we define as pornography, sex acts, and sexual services) are not allowed on Twitch.

I don't see what the huge issue with showing off your own sexiness is. Sheesh!

They claim that they only prohibit things that are intentionally suggestive, but every streamer is afraid to accidentally show their feet because they get a ban. Twitch has inconsistencies in the way they apply their policies, and they sometimes don’t even tell a streamer why they got a ban. Creating a beach and hot tub category is the least of their worries. But at least it makes it easier for me to intentionally find attractive women in swimsuits who are streaming their sexiness unintentionally, and filter them out when I’m not looking for it.
That's the problem with just about every well-meaning "computers in education" program, even more recent efforts like OLPC. The teachers have to understand the power of the machine and the insights and abstract critical thinking that can be taught through it. Most teachers are like the sort I grew up with: they would hold floppy disks by sticking their fingers through the hole in the middle. And they mishandled kids even more destructively, treating them like vessels into which it was their job to pour the curriculum.
> Community and advertiser feedback made clear that we need to offer more ways to control the content that’s recommended as well as where ads appear. So, we’re introducing a new category: Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches. If you have chosen swimwear that is allowed under the “Swim and Beaches” contextual exception to our standard Nudity and Attire policy, you should stream into the Pools, Hot Tubs and Beaches category.

People set up kiddy-pools in their room with a bit of water to get this "contextual exception" for the express purpose of streaming suggestive content. Why not just remove the exception and let people stream sexually suggestive content and make a separate category for that without a ridiculous "beaches and pools" euphemism?

Are you serious? Again: it's not up to the compiler at all, it's up to the spec. The spec indicates the current semantics won't change next week.

The semantics for non-UB code are completely fixed across optimization levels and compiler versions. Only code that invokes UB can break on these changes, and only because this code never had any specified semantics to begin with.

Sure. A 3000LB (dry weight) travel trailer, a few larger deliveries where the driver didn't want to come to the house but instead wanted meet on a main artery, I mentioned the base rock (several days, multiple loads) to fill in a retaining wall, a decent number of loads of firewood (1 cord per load, generally) since we are primarily wood-stove heat in the winter, a lot of construction debris from renovations (not sure on the weight, but certainly more than a honda could pull on a tailer) and green debris from clearing the property (fire season, yay) sent to the dumps, etc. When building the retaining wall, I could have tamped the base rock down by renting a tamper and spending an afternoon...OR...drive the 4000lb truck back and forth over it for 15 minutes until it's completely packed in (the honda would have gotten stuck likely).

There have also been a number of mudslides in the neighborhood that block the only exit road in the past, and having a 4x4 vehicle would be the only manner of escape. Similarly, it's in the forest, so a when a tree falls across the road (and they do), freedom is only a truck, some straps, and a chainsaw away.

So how much of this could have been done with an SUV? Maybe 60%. And SUV and a trailer? 90%, and a lot more of a pain in the ass to deal with. So why get an SUV and a trailer when the workload specifically calls for regularly hauling oddly-shaped or bulk items? That's exactly what a truck is designed for. If I already had a vehicle capable of towing a heavy trailer, the truck would have made much less sense. But given the needs, another vehicle was warranted, and mid-size 90s 4x4 truck checked all the boxes.
The cheating included much more (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=bonus+cultura+truffa) than expensive e-book readers. Many, with fraudolent sellers, converted the monetary bonus to cash, and spent it as they please.

In my opinion letting people spend this bonus on crap (blockbuster action movies, pop music, etc.) puts the concept of "culture" in a spot I don't really like, when we're talking about public money: while anything you artistic can be considered cultural, because I'm a boring boomer I'd like my hard earned money to be used for something better than a summer music festival.
How much bandwidth did you actually have? I have symmetric gigabit shared with ~50 people and everything works great, but my router shows that video calls on all platforms take less than 10Mbps and somehow Zoom manages to have the best quality with around 3Mbps.
Hmm, I'm not sure there is a limit. I mean, if each fork gathers a significant fraction of support for a long period of time, it would reduce the effectiveness of every related chain. But that's unlikely I think. There tends to be one (or maybe two) chains that get the vast majority of support. So I'm not sure forks like that are that much of a concern. What's more of a concern would be if the majority follow a chain that has unfixable design issues.
Bash Commands to Try
Once I needed a good amount of plywood for some cabinets. At 8 sheets and other assorted lumber I started feeling really uncomfortable mounting that much weight on my roofrack - I know the rack has a limited capacity like 100-200lbs. Would have had no issues with a proper pickup truck.
> I'm trying to think of a use case

Most streaming applications will be write heavy (each record written individually, reads batched) or roughly equal reads/writes.
> Sexually suggestive content–and where to draw the line–is an area that is particularly complex to assess, as sexual suggestiveness is a spectrum that involves some degree of personal interpretation of where the line falls

This is just in general why I have an issue with prudeness in our society. I have no idea where prudeness comes from, is it innate to some people? Is it a taught trait? But it seems to cause so much discord and disagreement yet is inherently safe and peaceful.
> As long as they are interchangeable, they are the same thing pretty much

You keep asserting this as true but I think you are just confused.
I live in more or less the country too. I just find an SUV handier day to day and week to week. Some things I have to put on the roof or take a short drive home with the rear hatch partially ajar. I could rent a trailer or have something delivered. Or I could borrow a pickup. I just find the interior space is more generally useful than having an open bed every now and then.
> they should become officers not 'security force’

Given the moral bankruptcy of America’s police force (note: force, not every officer), I could certainly see someone preferring private security handle their interests over the police.

If crime were less prevalent and the police more trusted, such a service wouldn’t have a niche to exist in.

I don’t like this slide into vigilante justice. But fighting the symptoms of the underlying problem is the wrong approach.

This is like pointing to a single self-identified Democrat or Republican and then claiming they speak for everyone else who also identifies as such. This is extremely pervasive and is one of the fundamental breaks in our political dialog these days.

And yeah, a lot of people on HN are also car enthusiasts. How many of us sent death threats in response to the Ford Probe? I was even a Mustang enthusiast at that time. I never sent any death threats, nobody I know did either. You are describing a sociopath, who may also be a car enthusiast, and then claiming that this means all car enthusiasts are sociopaths.

Actually it has nothing to do with competitive platforms for developers. All that matters is that Android and iOS compete with each other, which they do tremendously.

From a developer standpoint, they simply decide to start a business or not, knowing the expenses of doing so. Whether you are a new company, or any existing one like Twitter, you can do the math. Look at the costs and ROI. It is worth noting the platform fees have never gone up, only down.

Im not so sure you get my point.

Every single one of these fantastic European films at festivals does go through this process with the experts and relies on institutional funding at some point. This fantasy about dedicated artists finding a way at great sacrifice is simply naive and in my humble opinion typically American in it’s “pull-up by your own bootstraps” way.

I’m sure your experiences with a committee in your job were awful, but in general it all depends who is on it, how honest they are and whether they can be trusted when it comes to merit. Companies that build products aren’t a good parallel to institutions which are built to protect culture.

So, the film institute I described above runs a process in which the committees are split up into sub-committees. And the producer petitioning for financing gets to choose which particular set of people they want to be evaluated by. So if you’re making a documentary you might want to direct your proposal towards a committee of documentary filmmakers you know and respect. It’s designed to prevent this kind of “decision by committee” effect we know so well.

And then there come additional layers of complexity. Most of the time producers first apply for “development” funding, usually small sums directed towards fleshing an idea out, paying a screenwriter, paying for scouting trips, pre-roll footage. At the point at which you’re applying for the big bucks, you’ve already developed the concept well enough that it has some appeal. This is usually necessary to convince an investor to risk actual money to begin with.

And then even then there is even more complexity layered in because often incentives are designed to encourage international co-production efforts. We would never have Yorgos Lanthimos or the Romanian New Wave if the rules for these institutions did not allow producers from Greece and Romania to take advantage of the European Film Fund.

It’s all part of the process because you can’t just hand money out to people who don’t know what they’re doing. Art and culture have to be verified like anything else that we want to exhibit quality.

There are many parallels to start-ups and start-up culture to be found here. You might say: ”nobody should tell me how my start-up idea should be because I have this vision.” But if you want money from an accelerator, you’re going to have to encounter some sort of evaluation process. And usually a big part of that will be some experienced committee or board asking you to thoroughly explain it and verifying that you can in fact pull it off. Here in Europe we often trust the institutions and experts to do this part.

I dunno, distribution regulation is definitely key, you can still find just about everything that is made somewhere online. But nothing about the modern internet makes it easy to find out, and I suspect that this is by design.
