Also, the final result also isn't the same.

Today's hijacking: the result was that the journalist was arrested and now may be facing the death penalty.

The denial of flyover rights to Morales' jet: there was no risk of capture to Snowden - worst case, he'd just have to back to Moscow. If he had been on the flight.
Do you think it's perhaps confusing to call it async ruby? I was sure it works similar to node's async event loop but actually the fiber / fiber scheduler thing is more related to threads and doesn't use an event loop (?).
It doesn't really matter I guess but the terminology "async" is kinda used in javascript land to mean event loop and afaik that's not what you're working on here right?
EU and NATO are too meek to answer this unprecedented act of state terrorism with something stronger than expressing their 'deep concern'.

In turn, this will further embolden putin / lukashenko gang to bigger and more outrageous acts. This gang understands only force. Something like a rocket killing a top government official, or seizure of assets.

Indeed, the business was well over ten years old when I joined and had excess of 1M USD in sales. My boss matched my 401k contributions dollar for dollar without limit up to the maximum you can contribute. The health benefits were chancier because of economy of scale—we just couldn't get the same rates the big guys can—and I plateaued eventually. When I got married and realized that health benefits could trump a bunch of other considerations, and that I needed to think a little harder about my future skillsets, I moved on. But it remains one of my favorite jobs.
That is the question! But it would be mistaken to presume Marxists believe they have all the answers. Marxists have only determined that the working class has no choice but to find the answer. This is why Engels called for a scientific socialism rather than a utopian socialism. Marxism is distinctly concerned with the scientific tradition.
Just imagine car manufacturers demanding you to provide listing of every trip, person traveling in the car, every product delivered, so that the manufacturer can get their percentage of the value of goods and services, on top of the value of the car itself.

This indicates that e2e has some bypasses or exceptions. It would be pretty much impossible to unearth the details though.
Yes, and I am saying no-one has reactions that fast. Professionals hit the ball 70-80mph...up the chain someone said that keepers should just wait and see where it is going: this isn't humanly possible, there isn't enough time.

What they do is: statistical analysis of every penalty taker to see what preference they have (what corner, what they do home/away, what they do when they are facing a goal at a certain end, etc.) and most professional goalkeepers are pretty much experts in watching how players run up to the ball, how the taker's eyes move, how they position their body, how they position their non-striking leg (and strikers counter this: you will notice that most professional takers will look at the ball when they put it down, turn away from the keeper when they walk back, usually keep looking at the ball or directly at the keeper before they start running, and not look away from the ball when running up...there are reasons for this). And clubs will analyse videos of taker tendencies, and keeper tendencies.
> Declaring my comment flamebait is telling. It's a completely banal observation about a conflict in someone's position. The many angry personal attacks (such as yours) are not my doing, and reflect on your own rather bizarre motivations.

Hm... I applied the label to the original comment I replied to, not yours.

But defaultname, I do see you're pretty new. Try not to take things personally; even me labeling their comment as flamebait is a description of the comment and style of discourse rather than an assertion about the person.

The goal in the end is to have quality discussion where we can all learn something and grow a bit, and none of that happens if we either attack each other or perceive each others' words as attacks.

For what it's worth, I do apologize if my words rubbed you the wrong way. Certainly wasn't my intent.
Lakka and Kodi dual boot (2016)
For domains, I block the presence of:

- 'nytimes', 'theverge', 'theguardian' or 'npr' (politics, pop news and US business);

- 'bbc' for all those reasons and their inaccurate reporting on tech and science for the sake of accessibility;

- 'femfosec' (can we not?); and

- 'krebsonsecurity' (for dramatising and clickbaiting fairly mundane stories).

I'm fortunate enough that I hardly have to deal with FAANG where I live and work, so I also block 'fb.com' and any Google brand TLDs since I have trusted circles that act as a human filter on the interesting parts. I also previously blocked '.dev' because it's unavailable from the networks I'm usually working on, and they were usually vapourware email farms or CV padding.

For titles:

- /sexual|lgbt|pedo|culture war/ (unfortunate combo, I know) hides most US politics;

- /america|united states|\busa\b|u\.s\.|senat(?:e|or)|biden|trump/ hides the rest;

- /cov(?:id|-2)|corona(?:virus)?/ isn't what I'm interested in;

- /\w+js/ hides the JS (framework|library) of the (week|month);

- /in mice/ to hide the deadend studies.

I've also started filtering titles beginning in /^how\b/, since these are almost always advertisements ('How to do X with $product') or political essays. /\(\d{4}\)/ also hides links to past articles, since the graverobbers are usually just trying to make a statement by invoking the wisdom of old. The hidden gems make their way to me through other channels.

I use this exact same filter on several other aggregators with similar success, so I don't think it's specifically an HN issue. For example: when applied to entertainment aggregators, I only get the entertainment news I came for. HN is my best place for a general feel of the industry's pulse, it just has some fluff in the way.
Yes. Facilitating communications is just a general good thing.

The improvised relay system we have around Mars has been important to fast relay of data from the rovers. It has also allowed us to more closely observe EDL sequences so that if something goes wrong, we will learn what it was so we can fix it.
Back in 2018 (I guess) I was trying to create a place where programmers could create audio visualizations (like winamp and windows media player) that would react to an audio (radio, mp3 playlist, youtube video...). I end up creating 5 or 6 "demoscenes" so other people would contribute. My original goal was to detach the radio project from me website. Give it it's own domain and hosting and make a platform out of it, maybe an online code editor, so people could create live (while listening to music). Well, the project is not dead yet and I'd like to continue it some day.

> EU right. A flight leaving EU soil, arriving to EU soil

It's a great trick the NATO/EU expansionists have - expand NATO and the EU eastward (even though Gorbachev was promised NATO would not expand eastward). Then start harping on about EU rights in jingoistic militarism against countries in the east.

This is why the Croatian left was so unhappy about EU accession. Also contributed partly to why every region in England outside the London metro voted for Brexit.
What's their business model? A pimp for software developers? Let me guess: their next move will be to nudge users with "Hey, a recruiter from X is really interested in your background! Based on our quick chat with them, they are willing to offer at least 500k. Please login to review their terms." and promptly demand state ID, bank statements and W2s to login. If the user is stupid enough to give that, they'll just say "sorry, the recruiter has moved on with another candidate, but here are other opportunities for you."
This is clearly the wrong question to ask if you want to determine whether interventions were merited. You need to ask: is it likely the situation would have been worse... or better had whatever specific intervention not taken place, and you need to include positive and negative consequences to at the very least the wider region, if not the entire globe.

After all, you don't blame a nurse for all their dying patients if their specialty is palliative care; the counterfactual matters.

MicroSD cards are a gamble too. Even buying from Amazon because they pool all their stock together so if one seller provides fakes you can randomly get a fake. I got a fake SanDisk 32GB card that was actually an 8GB card. I was really surprised that someone bothered to fake a 32GB card at the time because there was maybe a $20 price difference between 8 and 32GB at the time.

Is there a way to prevent gaming the system like this, perhaps other than whistleblower rewards? I imagine even with whistleblower rewards companies would just employ third-parties for plausible deniability claiming it's a simply the actions of a bad actor trying to get them penalized.

Edit to add: perhaps substantial whistleblower rewards for employees of companies doing the bad actions but the top one or two employees/founders might be the only ones in the know.

> First Amendment issue. In the United States I can write, or say, any number I choose to.

That is complete and utter nonsense. A child pornography video is just a blob of text, essentially a big number. And you certainly can be prosecuted both for distribution and for storing child pornography. just because you have the imagination to boil everything down through bits to a number does not mean the First amendment becomes a shield for anything. A tweet stating you want to assassinate the president is equally "just a number" and also not protected by the first Amendment.

It’s true that there’s some lens to view it from where this causes positive things. Bitcoin itself is a fairly direct response to novel government action following 2008.

But it’ll set back adoption so heavily. There are a lot of applications in the space that only become feasible once adoption is so high, so development of everything above the base layer is liable to slow down significantly.
If sellers didn't receive purchasers email addresses through Amazon, they wouldn't be able to pull back channel crap like this.

You started by MLK quote and ended by complaining about divisiveness. The speech that quote is from is call for radical action that won't stop. It was not call for peace.

I built some 50Hz transformer power supplies when I was younger. :) They were 2x the size of the ATX power supply, produced like 60-100W of power, and weighed something like 2kg. Friends building class A audio amps were quite fond of toroidal transformer power supplies, too.

They are easy to build, much less complex than switching power supplies. But as others say, less efficient and I'd guess more expensive, these days, unless you have some spare toroid transformer and high capacity low voltage capacitors laying around, already.

Just the toroidal transformer for the 800W power supply would weigh like 8kg or so. :)

The capability you give an app for X doesn't have to be the raw system X. It can interpose some policy or tracking-of-use, or let you revoke just the X, or fake the whole X to begin with, etc. This is one of the things distinguishing the object capability model from basic sandboxing. Another is that the set of kinds of X's is open-ended -- anyone can make up higher-level abstractions like an advertising server with a defined protocol, so that users who've gotta have a free ad-supported app can use one without giving it unlimited and unaudited network access.

I'd expect the store to come with standardized packages of capabilities for common kinds of apps.

My friends and I play Apex through Steam, which I downloaded for free. When you click to purchase "Apex coins", it takes you straight to EA's website. Apple wants to enforce a cut on every purchase of in-game currency. Steam does not do this.

And Valve allows you to sell steam keys on your own website also without paying the cut, so long as you don't undercut the steam store.
The Concorde cruised at higher altitude than most commercial planes, thus you had less protection from the atmosphere during the flight and received higher amounts radiation from cosmic rays.

Then again it flew for a shorter duration, so I don't know which method of travel exposed you to higher accumulated radiation.
In addition, it was a scheduled passenger flight between two capitals of EU/NATO countries, not some private flight with special clearances. Completely unrelated civilians returning from a holiday inside the EU were taken hostage.

Awesome ! I don't have to really work for the rest of the year , but I want to save as much as I can so I can take a good long vacation. If working from overseas doesn't work out I could still live without work for a solid year or so.

There could be less nefarious reasons for that...such has what ATC was in contact at the time, headwind/tailwind can make a difference in speed/time even if the distance as the crow flies is shorter, or if there was more landing windows in Minsk.

It should be considered and questioned, but it may not be nefarious.
The speedup is more or less the difference between O1 and O3 optimization levels.
Yes, goal frequency is 75-85% in professional play. Amazing but it shows how much skill takers have (players like Baines, Henry, and more recently Fernandes are over 90%...which is just crazy).
The contents of said battery pack? I suppose they are relatively inert, if you just dumped it into landfill. But then that's still much worse than ICE engines, which can be very easily recycled.

What do you mean by that? Rossmann talks about what he doesn't know all the time. He's not an engineer, yet he thinks he can proclaim that Apple is terrible at engineering and runs with it as a foregone conclusion, without ever having an actual engineer take a look or play Devil's Advocate. This seems irresponsible considering the size of his platform, weakens his argument, and is also odd considering many engineers would happily do a guest appearance.

This is something Pycharm catches as a warning in a manual inspection or automatically prior to a commit.

And while nice, the inspections often catch other more important code issues.

These are also generally highlighted with an indicator of some sort to catch as you’re working on the code.

Are pre-commit inspections / visual indicators not generally a part of most dev workflows?

I would think spelling would be a part of the most basic text editor / ide at this point.
Looking this up led me to some interesting unrelated facts about gif animation:

1. animation isn't technically intended by the gif format [0]:

> Although GIF was not designed as an animation medium, its ability to store multiple images in one file naturally suggested using the format to store the frames of an animation sequence. To facilitate displaying animations, the GIF89a spec added the Graphic Control Extension (GCE), which allows the images (frames) in the file to be painted with time delays, forming a video clip
>
> To enable an animation to loop, Netscape in the 1990s used the Application Extension block (intended to allow vendors to add application-specific information to the GIF file) to implement the Netscape Application Block (NAB).........Most browsers now recognize and support NAB, though it is not strictly part of the GIF89a specification

2. SMIL[1] is an animation alternative I'd never heard of for the browser.

> “Someone” reported there’s a bomb on the plane while they were in the Belarus airspace

The article doesn't say that the bomb threat claim came from anyone on the plane. Rather, it implies the pilots were informed of the alleged threat by Belarus air traffic control as the pretext for demanding that the plane divert.

Based on the current facts being reported, it seems pretty clear what is going on here.

>For me, this is way over the line. If they want to charge developers to be on their store, fine. I don't have a problem with that. And charging for using them as a payment processor makes sense. Charging for using Apple services makes sense.

Developers have been so steeped in propaganda about "payment processing" that they have no idea what the 30% commission is for.

A court or regulator could force Apple to allow third-party payment processing, side-loading, and third-party app stores, and Apple could change their business model to directly charge for the tools and the SDKs that every developer uses to make native apps. The only way to avoid those costs is the way that already exists today: make a web app.

Right now the payment processing costs have been integrated into the commission, but they could charge whatever the market could bear to license their IP for a royalty, so in effect developers could end up paying more.

There's nothing in law that says Apple can't charge money for their software. That the use of developer tools and SDKs were free on other platforms like the Mac doesn't mean that it's legally required that it be given away for free.
Adopting a similar stance of mind yields cool things regardless of culture. I've been known to call Slackware "the shibui Linux distro". Its roughness, lack of ostentation, and exposure of command-line-centric Unix roots is why the distro is so appealing.

Doom Captcha
Well in the case of my game engine, all the game logic was untrusted anyway - in fact, in some games the actual game mechanic involved live-editing the code of the running game to try and give yourself an advantage - without ever causing a syntax error and while others are also live-editing the same code. Any keystroke causing a syntax error or infinite loop would be an insta-kick for the player who made that keystroke.
By that logic, should Apple charge something like $1/user/month to allow companies to publish apps and run software on iPhones?
Not to mention that you have to purchase expensive apple hardware to develop for iOS.
Algebra of Graphics: A fresh approach to datavis
To echo your point: Going back decades it's been a real PITA to repair dash components on many vehicles, and this is primarily a manufacturing artifact that in the factory the whole assembly of the dash is brought into the car on a specialty arm made for that task.

It's made to go in as a whole component at some point in the assembly and streamline that step for first cost reasons vs for serviceability of sub components after the warranty has expired.

The right to repair complaint would be that if your evaporator core fails you have to replace your car because that sub component wouldn't be allowed to be sold by sake of making the pipe connectors a drm copywriting mess, not that it's a pain to get to it.
