All those changes were instigated by an industry that decided everyone needs a front suspension with 8" of travel (or the frame must at least support it) so the head tubes have to be slacker for tire clearance. Since that makes for sluggish steering you get 0mm stems and 1m bars to compensate.

Yup.

For one reason, because the federal courts don’t tend to mistake the Declaration of Independence for a part of the Constitution that limits express powers like the Commerce Clause.

The Friendship paradox has nothing to do with what people think: it's an observed fact and related to the way that node degree in social graphs work (or random graphs in general).

In this context, that's an interesting typo.
Ok, I'm definitely not understanding this then. This is my understanding so far:

You are sending the file runs

wormhole send myfile

I, the attacker run

wormhole receive __guess_code__

If my code is right, I get the file. If not, you cannot know, surely? There's no identification here other than the code. I can guess repeatedly as many times as I want. If lots of people are using the same server, the chance I start getting someones files is quite high.

~~In addition, with generating the code, either the sender has a way of checking if codes are in use (and so the attacker can more easily find current open valid codes) or there is the chance of a clash.~~ Edit - looking at the code I don't think this side is an issue. It'll ask for a connection then generate a code for that connection I think.

So - how do I only get one guess?
You can have both, but only if you take responsibility for managing the system, setting policies, making sure that updates are applied, screening for malware, etc.

Steering wheel is still “analog” in some new cars but it isn’t actually connected to anything. Super crazy that we’re doing a ton of work to make it feel right by adding back in pull and vibration.

The goal is to disconnect the wheel from the tie rod because “we know better” for accident avoidance, self driving, and it’ll help with packaging.

Modern life is really, really complicated. We are dealing with a lot of stuff that's new and unprecedented and that breaks a lot of existing expectations and I think we are doing a poor job of addressing that.

So the first questions are about committing to memory the multiplication tables up to 10, the squares up to 31 and cubes up to 11.
How many people can actually do that?
This would be more fun if this could be done with the median. Then the "true" answer to any question would be 50% on both sides. (For example, more than 50% of people have a lower income than the mean income, due to extreme outliers.) I suppose in lay language the distinction gets muddled.
Color management i.e. CMYK and spots weren't working last time I checked. You can use Scribus to convert colors based on a profile, but color should be handled from the beginning.

If its color management was good and it imports from/exports to pdf well, I wouldn't need Illustrator anymore. I honestly hate illustrator, would be glad to switch, but I'm more likely to move to Affinity than to Inkscape.

Network attached devices are generally not directly addressable from outside their local network. There's a thing called "network address translation" on routers which hides the addresses used internally. The router substitutes it's own address for the internal ones on internet facing connections, acting on their behalf, and just remembers which connections belong to which local device. For new incoming connections, it won't know which device it's receiving the connection request on behalf of. That's unless that device announces to the router it's waiting for the connection using a thing called uPnP, or you manually configure the router to forward to a specific device for specific types of connections. When uPnP or manual forwarding aren't there, intermediaries on the internet allow both A and B to make outgoing connection requests to set up the link, which is no trouble for any router to do.
I have some aging Slim Devices units in my house system that I've been contemplating replacing with a custom system. However, I would just use wifi to an RPi with a suitable DAC installed. There'd be no per-speaker sync, since the DAC->speaker connection is analog, and before the DAC there'd be essentially streaming code that would always be handling both channels.

“Average pilot fallacy”? https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-...

When designing cockpits using the average dimensions of pilots the US Air Force found exactly 0 pilots who were average in all 10 dimensions. Even just using 3 dimensions only 3.5% were considered “average”. Take the average dimensions of a human hand and draw that hand. Almost nobody has the dimensions of that hand.

I have heard words very similar to "ugh, we gotta hire this white guy" actually expressed out loud. So yes, that really is the thought some people have. It is NOT "does hiring another white guy bring something to the table...". And even if it were the latter form, it would still be an ugly thing to say.

Also, not all white people, black people, or any other group of people based on their skin color, sex, or other obvious characteristics are the same. A black person and a white person both with a net worth above a million dollars will have life experiences more similar than two white people, one of which grew up incredibly poor and one of which has a million dollars.

In my opinion, we shouldn't be trying to achieve diversity on the basis of outward characteristics. What that ends up doing is giving huge advantage to already-advantaged people who look like people from sometimes marginalized groups, and a huge disadvantage to non-advantaged people who look like people from sometimes advantaged groups, statistically speaking.

We should judge people as individuals, not as members of categories.

What about the advantage and disadvantage of people who grew up in single parent vs two parent households? What about people who are first vs 3rd generation college students? People who had to work during college vs those who didn't? What about their mental health? Abuse as a child? Are we going to put all these on a questionnaire? There are too many possible influences on a person's life to account for, and focusing only on the outward physical appearance seems like a very blunt and inaccurate instrument.

Interesting. Fundamentally, I believe CAPTCHA, and attempting to distinguish humans from computers is pointless. I think it's better just accept it and design applications accordingly.
well not quite. since nicks and channels are replicated across all servers it should be clear that any irc op can control all nicks and channels. hence control is centralized and its merely distributed-replicated on a technical level even if governance is so trusting as to allow anyone to join.

distributed ownership, aka federation does not require trust between operators as each operator is trusted only to manage their own servers without being able to control entities that originate from other servers
Customer complaints usually determine the spec.

If enough people wrote in about not accepting one letter email addresses, then they would likely update the validation.

But if customer service tells users to use another email address in that scenario and the customer does that, then it might not be worth the effort to fix it.
That's certainly an interesting point. The questions have ~9K responses at this time; I wonder how many of those can be attributed to an hour of being posted on HN.

There's nothing obviously terrifying about this code to me. That's just what the STL internals look like. It has a few conventions that differ from other C++ code, and most of the verbosity of that code is to fulfill requirements of standard collections (implementing your own STL compatible container is not usually quick)

As to your point... C++ doesn't really work that way. The STL can't add methods to "actual arrays" as you call them, and the compiler can't really do it either. You could extend a compiler to do it but then it wouldn't be C++, strictly speaking.

Some of the other issues like type coercion between arrays and pointers is both not that big of a deal, has well known solutions, and changing would break so much could it's not feasible to do.

While there's some verbosity to the STL (the error messages are worse than anything else) that's just what programming in C++ is like. It is not terse.
Indeed, the mixed economy the society has shifted to is a form of capitalism constrained by regulatory frameworks. Imposing limitations on public officials engaging in the commerce they are designed to regulate can be quite reasonable, such as done in Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act passed in 2013. I think you would agree that the proposed legislation is pushing the boundaries further.
Legislations based on fundamental principles such as maintaining public confidence and avoiding conflicts of interest can serve a legitimate interest of the public, but when appropriate legislations are already in place, artificially separating public officials and the stock market further poses an unreasonable burden on congress members and harms their ability to understand and represent their constituents.
I think everyone is like this to a degree. The difference is how it materializes from the perspective of other people. A mental disorder isn't really considered one until other people start noticing. I think most people grapple with these thoughts as some point. Usually the magnitude is low enough that it's not considered a problem.

I wouldn’t know what these were supposed to mean!

The quality being described is coldness. "At least -40°" means that was the least cold it was, but it might have been colder.

For the handlebars, the quality is shortness. "Cut them down to at least 740 mm, maybe more" means that that is the least short they will be, but they might end up shorter.

> How can "at least -40" and "at most -40" mean exactly the same thing?

In the US people have a right to face their accusers, to cross examine witnesses, to shake out lacking credibility or perverted motivations.

If parallel construction is being used to conceal people who testified against you there might be a motivation for it that is more complicated than an outright end-run around your civil rights, but it's not clear that it's any more justified.

Moreover, even if there is something that ought reasonably be protected misleading the court about it isn't the right way to do it: Say there is a confidential source. Let the court decide if the results can be admitted and under what terms. Allowing prosecutors to lie isn't the right answer, the state is already at a tremendous advantage without it being dishonest.
There is no PID loop in the sense you mean. It's a hardware counter module that feeds a flip flop. There might be a free running ADC that is used to compare match against the counter module, or sometimes it's just a binary input like the AC signal zero crossing.

You don't need a CPU core to do this, and the older, cheaper parts do not necessarily have a CPU in them. There are even (iirc, very uncommon) designs with no digital logic save the switching.

I think kindle has ended up in this place but it isn’t where it was hoped to go.

I remember when the Amazon App Store was first announced and there was no talk of the devices being these value oriented Amazon content consuming portals.

There were a lot of competitors back then.

This was still around the time Palm had just given up, BlackBerry was briefly hopeful with the Playbook but most importantly the Barnes and Noble Nook was competing hard for these users.

In my anecdotal experience, Amazon Kindle fire purchasers were not in love with Amazon back then.

They just didn’t want to spend the money Apple was asking for iPads (which lacked as many purchase points and previous gens)

In one clear example, the person was downloading apps to do soduku, trying to listen to podcasts. whatever but did not subscribe to Prime and did not do delivery of items.

Do you understand the current posture of Amazon toward app dev on Fire to be negative / not encouraging?

I can see why these would be focused now entirely on portal to Amazon, but then I wonder why have an App Store for the product at all.

The home directory is one of my most frequent destinations in Finder, and the first thing I enable in Finder (Preferences > Sidebar > <username>). And then I move it to the very top of the sidebar.

I'd argue that removing the home directory by default results in more confusion (as I've encountered multiple times now when helping others switch to macOS).
As someone who has struggles with severe depression and anxiety, this is both true and false. Yes, there is never a point in my life where someone telling me to “just do it” would have helped. But simultaneously, everything said above about how doing something immediately helps lower the total amount of negative emotion is true. If I can muster the will to “just do it” from within, it does legitimately help with the anxiety in the long run. Especially as a self reinforcing loop where the more things I manage, the less I have to feel anxious about. Of course on the otber side, when I slip up and fail to manage tasks the anxiety makes it even harder to start clearing away that which is making me anxious.

There are times in my life where I have and haven’t actually managed this well. Medication is often necessary, sometimes therapy, sometimes admitting that it’s too much to people and taking a break to reset my responsibilities. But in the end it’s hard to say that anything other than “just do it” defines the way to make things happen.
"The art of the rewrite" by Uber Leadership could be an interesting book.
In 2019 When AB5 was passed another rewrite was done in order to make the case that drivers were not employees but independent contractors and teams were assembled into one "zone" working like crazy to make some major changes for one market (the fear was that AB5 would be the start and all other states would follow with similar laws). The funny thing is during multiple meetings people would ask if Lyft was doing anything as radical as Uber and AFAIK the answer was no. FFWD to 2021 and with the passage of Prop 22 most if not all of the features implemented as part of the rewrite including DSTOP (Drivers Set Their Own Price), Price range instead of Fixed price etc are being stripped out.

Hemianopia is the majority of blindness, like what happens after a stroke. That's inside the brain. In some patients, restoring circulation restored vision. I guess it's the hairs of the nerves not being matted down by the bleeding. Circulation in the brain doesn't change that much. Whenever I read about this, I think they're working on that. Would be fun to see advances in genetic testing in regards to blood thinners, or pacemakers for that.
> You license is non-standard and does not appear to permit self hosting.

You were just given carte blanche to host it, by the author in public. If that isn't a legal exception, I really, really do not know what is.

Also, if you do self-host it, who is going to find out and sue you? Software licenses are not magical. The hammer of god is only going to come down on you if the person:

a) sees you do it

b) has the power to stop you

And if they're outside of the GNU project or the Linux foundation, they very likely do not! And regardless, that only matters if:

c) you have the money to pay for the damages

Which unless you're rich (I dunno, maybe you are rich), you probably don't!

People writing about race more does not mean that race is necessarily playing a larger role in the various operations of society, it just means the myriad ways it affects society are being discussed more.

Race has always played this large a role, people just say it in books more. Our subconscious biases can reign supreme and yet never be discussed anywhere.

EDIT: There is also nothing mysterious about white people having a much harder time picking up on racism. You're making it seem like this mystical hippy-dippy nonsense. It's instead very simple: if you're white you won't often (ever) be the target of racism, so you'll have a skewed perception of how common and powerful it is. No mystery here, friend.

Hashed hierarchical timing wheels is a cool very specialized data structure to make this efficient. The paper claims it's O(1) to start, stop and maintain timers which is much more efficient than O(log n).
