> "the case is dismissed in the interest of justice"

In the US that is possible in only about 12-15 jurisdictions, depending on who's counting. Some explicitly spell out in which cases a judge may do so, others leave that power broadly undefined.

I wonder why, having seen that done once, you seem so insistent to extrapolate that judges everywhere and always must have that power.
Why not just use OOP Scala? It's so much cleaner and more readable.
Yes English has this round, airy, flowy, smeared out, rolled-together pronunciation, most vowels are diphtongs, they are not constant but take an "arc" when pronounced. Consonants are often aspirated as well,or dropped or reduced. Many other languages are much more straightforward.
Had they used random constrained testing (property based testing/quickcheck for the HW world) on the HDL for their design, this likely wouldn't have gotten past even the initial review phase.
This is a terrible commit message.
I can only imagine some investment banks have donated a fair bit given that HAProxy now has built in support for FIX. I really wasn't expecting to see that!
My biggest gripe with Amazon is its search.

For a company that initially was a searchengine (A9 if i recall right, still being used for the site) the search and filter options aren't worthily described if you use the word bad.

I mean, what else besides being able to filter for brands and maybe price is there?

Cue every purchase being research into the fundamentals of the thing you need, together with not being able to trust reviews.

Regarding the reviews, i've turned to only looking at "most critical" reviews - at least with those i'm kinda quickly able to differ between "logistics service dun f'up" and "this thing has so many issues it's not even funny anymore".

Edit to add: my purchases on AMZN are down by like 90% - replacing my online shopping by going to local (hardware) stores mostly
Or ban it from iPhone for one or two versions so they stop this one tracking. Then repeat often enough that people start thinking it is uncertain that FB/WA be available, and don’t require WA to book a doctor’s appointment.

I don't know anything about Bluetooth security but I'm assuming adding it to a lifesaving device isn't necessarily an improvement?
> There should be no need to do this

The fact that there are dozens of similar solutions out there says otherwise. These aren't the kind of tools that people build for fun. They fill a need. Remember, perfect can be the enemy of good.
I was hoping this is about an astrophysical phenomena.
I am happy that on so many projects we rejected the kool aid and just used postgres and redis.
Can't remember ever troubleshooting these.

What does he get back with AGPL?
I just wanted to add to this --fakes can be near perfect in appearance. A number of years ago Black Diamond had to put out an advisory on one of their pieces of mountain climbing gear because someone was making an exact replica of their climbing hardware...but with substandard metal.

Everything matched, with laser cut serial numbers and everything. The only way they could ensure it was real was by material testing, or known purchase from an authorized dealer.

Years ago there was a decent chance amazon had the real thing, but now I'd avoid anything that can potentially kill you

I asked in another HN thread how the line "you sound like a middle-aged white woman" in the Pixar movie Soul, is not racist? (It got downvoted)

Im not really taking a stand either way, Im just trying to understand.

However the case, I believe the normalizing of selectivity by race (which I guess is the definition of racism) is not final nor is its demarcation really stabilized yet.
RTAPI is mentioned in the previous blog post [1], it sounds like the new edge gateway supercedes it

This is the first time I made a throwaway account, not because I care about my karma, but because I don't want wayland devs and distro maintainers to trace this back to me or the projects I contribute to.

Wayland has been a nightmare to support, and supporting it usually means having a bunch of wlroots-specific, kwin-specific, and gnome-specific code, and just forgetting about weston, the so called reference implementation.

Certain distros have switched to wayland as the "default" desktop without upgrading application software to link against wayland, and we are now getting bug reports from distro users that are specific to xwayland.

Sway is the most standards-compliant compositor, but I can't expect users to install it when something is broken on gnome 3. A lot of application software was ported to gnome 3 specifically, using gnome-specific protocols, so switching back to Xorg is sometimes easier than switching from gnome to sway.
> Claiming that an entire science field "lacks empiricism" is quite brave, and definitely false in the case of CS.

> Perhaps you are talking about software engineering in practice instead, but that is false too (for any serious project).

I'm not the first one lamenting the lack of experimentation in CS. See https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jrex/teaching/spring2005/fft/m..., http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/inst/ag-se/teaching/S-Komponente..., https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1027796, https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/4221632

> Three sections of the RFC are spent on characterizing the sentence you quote. The LWN article is not the RFC.

I know, but it doesn't contain (empirical) evidence.

> But none of that really matters, because the only way to gather the evidence you are actually requesting (Rust in the Linux kernel) is getting into the kernel and evaluating Rust after a while.

That's the medical equivalent of giving the patient an unknown drug to see what happens. Did the patient get better? Maybe it was the drug! Did the patient get worse? Maybe it was not the drug!

A better way could be to fork a less-visible (but still well-maintained) C project and rewrite it in Rust. If the defect rate over time is significantly lower than for the upstream C project then that is empirical evidence in support of a Linux rewrite in Rust. Running such an experiment would take a lot of time and effort, but that is no excuse for not doing it.
This idea pops up every month. It really needs to find the UVP. What's going wrong that it never takes off? What's the blocker? What are the buyers missing? What are the suppliers not getting (beside money)?
Siemens used to make lots of computing hardware like RF modems, MIPS processors, DRAM, even their own custom design CPU architecture (Tri-Core) for use in automotive and such.

Some of them still live on today in various spin-offs like Tri-Core is now part of Infineon, DRAM used to be Qimonda which went under and part of the RF modem division is now Apple.
It can actually be avoided on X11 if you're willing to make the screensaver an integral part of the desktop environment. The way KDE has done it since the KDE 4 era at least is by doing the actual screen locking in ksmserver and having the unlock screen and password entry dialog as a seperate process. This has two effects: crashing the password entry dialog or the screensaver will not unlock the desktop, and if you do somehow manage to crash ksmserver the session will immediately terminate, because ksmserver exiting for any reason is how X decides that the session is over. This is a bit like Wayland's solution, except with much less potentially buggy and crashy code in the process responsible for locking the desktop.
We already have business tagged with things like "black owned" or "run by women" and now this.

While it is a small and unlikely reason, it's a succint explanation that can be used to explain away this entire clusterfuck of an incident.

Doubly so putting the explanation with little wording to leave doubt should help the family get some level of normalcy. At least now they can point to an article in the BBC to explain when employers, coworkers, other parents, or staff at the school inevitably bring it up.

It's not perfect but it's an easy explanation to put people's minds at ease and dissuade any notion of wrongdoing from this ridiculous incident which will undoubtedly follow them for at least the next decade or so if not the rest of their lives.

Worth noting that ignoring the stated justification, Coinbase offered their workforce the limited-time voluntary severance package that was a lot more generous than normal. So it's hard to say how many of those that left did so for political reasons.

This option does comes up when sharing from the Photos app - I think this in possibly new in 14.5?

Actually radon is the only one to be really concerned about. Especially on first floors of poorly ventilated buildings with deep basements. It can be really harmful to one's health - granite countertops can't.
You can still be on the camera of the shop which sold you the sim card if they recorded the serial number.
You can walk into many shops (including sainsburys te#co and Morrison's) and buy a sim card and top it up there and then with cash.
Envoy based gateways such as Istio ingress gateway or Ambassador use traffic shadowing to achieve this. Traefik also has shadowing
The Philosophy is completely wrong on many levels.

On one level for some applications you want "every frame is recent" and can tolerate some glitches as trade off for not having perfect frames. Also displays have different pitch values, subpixel arrangements, color spaces, etc. A line from A to B might look completely different on different monitors. By offering only RGB arrays as abstraction Wayland pushes the the need for care of those differences down to clients which is a mistake.

On another level a Desktop system in general is much more than a bunch of bitmaps blittet together. Applications need to interact and such functionality has to be tightly integrated into the compositor with standardized protocols otherwise it will be impossible to have such functionality. As example I recomment implementing a native Wayland client that takes screenshots and works on every compositor (Impossible because something as essential as taking screen dumps is not even part of the core protocol).
I mostly meant English. Other languages probably simplify as well, but English does it much faster because of the scope of use by nonnative speakers. Same thing happened to Greek and Latin once
An article about virgin lead - low background lead for science equipment: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/10/search-d...

I first heard about it when I was working on gamma ray spectrometer software for detecting background radiation in environmental samples. The spectrometer needs lead shielding that ideally taints the sampling as little as possible.
This is complete tragedy for user like me, who can't stand window decorations and see no use for it. This lack of coherent look and feel seems as very backwards step to visual smog. Thanks but no thanks.

Do you actually mean “politics free”, or do you mean “progressive politics free”? Because unless the website is made absolutely perfectly with exactly the right intentions, it will become parler or gab for jobs.

Who are the people that care so much that they’ll choose a job based on it? Probably 80% hardline conservatives, 10% aggressively apolitical people and 10% unwoke left types like me

But even if the other 20% might theoretically use a site like that, the 80% hardline conservatives would be deeply off-putting.

It’s why I’d never use Gab or Parler. Yeah the free speech idea is nice, but when it comes down to it, mostly, who are getting banned from Twitter and Facebook? The really abrasive and rude right-wing people

Who feels ostracised in their job? I’d say generally it’s the hardcore right-wing people who lean towards being poor communicators
Yes, you can get and top them up with cash, at some dinky corner shop with non-functional cameras. Or just buy a bunch of them on Gumtree, also in cash.
First off it errodes the reputation of the real product. Fakes are never as good, and the real company will have to deal with people trying to return fakes as well as bad reviews.

I'd also say it absolutely matters depending on the class of product -since they are saving money somewhere; so by logic if the outside looks the same, they skimped on the insides.

Electronics can kill you, makeup can contain toxic chemicals, toys with lead, or parts that break too easy and hurt the user...

Not the least, fake books are just theft from the author, who probably isn't getting the best deal from their publisher in the first place. So only a shitty person would be cool knowing their book was just a really good fake.
Ask HN: What happens if I like and use a service but can't contact anyone there?
this happens to be a paid service. Actually it's rss.app.
I've tried over the past 3-4 months to get in contact with them via email and Twitter, and it's failed.
I have some questions for them, along with some ideas to pass along. I really do like the service, it works really well for me, however I'm annoyed by the lack of responses.
I usually find that services that do this kind of thing go away quickly, but I don't think that's going to happen with this one. Anyway, does anyone know how I can get in contact with them? thanks!
For traditional PHP apps wishing to continue SSR and server-side templating, integrate HTML-aware templating (PHP has always been half there considering embedded PHP is using SGML processing instructions; it "just" needs to offer additional, more sophisticated, injection-free SGML entity-based mechanisms).

For highly dynamical apps, consider porting to JavaScript on the client side, and use PHP only as a service backend language. That's what I understand newer PHP frameworks are doing; but this will only be attractive for migrating legacy PHP apps rather than bring new users.
Memory Mapping with Python
Long Slide Looms for World Population, with Sweeping Ramifications
ISO C++ strongly resists simplification. It can grow. I have no doubt that every brilliant idea I see in programming languages can be added to C++ but the problem is that it can't shrink and so what happens instead is that mostly "C++ programmers" speak a dialect of C++ and those dialects become mutually incomprehensible, and so then what was the benefit of C++ as a language rather than just the abstract agreement that you could, in principle, graft every conceivable feature on to something that looks kinda like C?

An example is right in the name. Today we know that "clever" operators like the pair of ++ increment operators in C++ are a bad idea. They too easily allow mistakes to hide in plain sight, the programmer writes ++n where they actually needed n++ or vice versa, and a reviewer's brain overlooks this and so it gets shipped.

If you're playing Code Golf then these operators are a big benefit, but we aren't playing Code Golf, we're writing actual software that will be used in the real world, so explicitly spelling out what you meant is good.

As a result some modern languages deliberately do not have these operators. And e.g. as I understand it Swift actually removed these operators from the language. But C++ 20 still has both operators of course, it's just that your local dialect might forbid one or both of them.

>When I first started learning about technology companies in college, someone showed me a video of Elon Musk buying a one-million-dollar McClaren supercar after selling his first company. The clip is a classic of startup lore. He states that three years prior he was “sleeping on the office floor,” and now here he is buying one of the world’s most luxurious vehicles.

I know an early employee at Zip2 who told me some amazing Elon Musk stories.

One of the stories relates to the quote aebove.

Elon Musk spent almost all his money on this McClaren - to the point he couldn't even afford the insurance on it.

But, this person claims it was an incredibly smart move - because it allowed Elon to start hanging with other super car owners, who were also the movers & shakers of SV at the time - like Jerry Yang, the CEO of Yahoo.

This network would prove invaluable to everything Elon did after Zip2.
Yes, I think it's simply because those who have ability to make it happen have never needed anything to buy used (considering all startups founders in India are from software field and rich enough to buy everything new or they live in a big city where they don't have this problem, they can drive to near junkyard or market and find nearly everything)

Okay I am only guessing, the historic reason is listed in another subcomment on my original post.
Did they do this to make a one time example out of a big seller and appease critics or is the consensus here that they’re clamping down on fake reviews?

Basically piles of FUD came out of Microsoft at the time that open source licenses were literally cancer that would force private companies to publish all their code. The only effect it really had was to keep Sun selling servers for a couple of years longer as nervous purchasing managers bought the story.

At the time it seemed that Microsoft thought they could move into the enterprise space where the big iron like Sun enterprise gear was being used. Microsoft were fresh off killing the SME business of Novell and had big plans of pushing further up the food chain but the thing that was driving their success (like commodity HP x86 servers) was also dragging linux in their wake.

Cloud providers made the whole paradigm moot in a lot of ways. I can't say personally I was disappointed that Microsofts server OS never made it past that small/medium tier. They are fine for what they are but scaling a windows server system still sucks as much as it did in 2001.
Yes, that is exactly my point.

On the other hand, if you spend your early career as a researcher making five digits a year in the Midwest, then move to SV in middle age to increase your earnings, you probably won’t ever catch up and be able to live very comfortably given the cost of housing.

This is just a possible counterpoint, learned the hard way, to the common advice to “pursue your passion.” My advice to those who have the option: make some money first, then pursue your passion.
It's a feature, not a bug. I *want* my photo saving software to display photos on a map.

Hitler’s Girlfriend Visited Iceland and the British Invaded
Sadly, on contrary, I avoid amazon in UK as much as possible. I just had too many adventures. This includes being sent e.g. a fake product in a box of dimensions resembling the ordered expensive one (at least the refund is instant). Or long discussions turns-out-scamming sellers who "dispatch" products not giving any tracking information (finally getting a refund after weeks).
The last straw were pretty often just bad quality products sold by sellers who are advertised as Amazon's "Top Choice", etc. Amazon has just became a cheap quality bazaar for me and if I need to spend time to cherry pick a possibly fine quality product, then, no, thank you.

I just try to search and order from local UK websites or stores. These often offer comparable or even better prices (esp. books), plus good contact with the seller and very often a better quality. Amazon just being either my last resort if I cannot buy a product in a local mom and pop store. With possibility of not even receiving a genuine product I prefer to buy, especially electronics, just directly in normal shops.
Stepping on toes is an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of the amount of stubbornness in the Linux community.
A couple of things:

- back when I started moving groups WhatsApp wasn't E2E-encrypted

- one of those (Zuck and Durov) is a known bad guy and it isn't Durov. The other might or might not be a bad guy, but if he is he is truly hiding it well for now.

- also once I have managed to get people to understand that multiple messengers exist I hope much of the work is done already and the first groups have already been on Telegram so long that I might start to push them towards Matrix without triggering any bad feelings. (Yep, possible: the oldest one I've seen jumping from WhatsApp to Telegram with no issues at all must have been well over 80.)

Maybe I misunderstood your message. I tried to share a photo from my iPhone to a whatsapp chat and I could not find any way to remove location data.
On the other hand, this article says that you can do that when you start from the photo album and ask to share to someone else. Is this what you meant?
If you’re concerned about this, you can stop Facebook getting this data by sharing from the Photos app. It gives you the option to strip EXIF data in the share sheet.
