Hi guys,

A few weeks ago, one of my friends told me he doesn't like to watch porn, he likes to listen. It's some kind of audio porn. Community call it "JOI". SO we decided to turn into an app. Because of the AppStore rules, we started with soft content but we are considering that we should increase the level.

Erotic stories are kind of sexual meditation for me. It releases people's deep pleasures. So, we want to make it better soon. You'll find more sexual content on our next version.

Here's the link of our app: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/1568857241/appstore/i...

Use our app and share your thoughts with us! Don't forget to comment!

Best,
Team Bang

The current UK government is full of people who believe rich people keeping their money is how you stimulate the economy in to growth. It's not a completely unreasonable position according to economic theory but there are plenty of reasons to disagree with it.
Exactly, and these people are taking an idea about "1984" from an executive of a tech megacorporation that is just one of the many corporations that dominate and run our economy in their favor, at the expense of everyone else.
It's quite concerning that ailin-nemui, who made the prior commit migrating to Libera currently isn't listed as part of the irssi organization[1]. According to GitHub stats, this is the person behind most of the code in irssi[2].

It doesn't seem fair to presume Schmidt forgot that people must use the bathroom and sometimes bathe or change clothes and such. To bring in a little good faith, perhaps we should amend Schmidt's statement to include the ending "...using Google's products". Then you are basically supporting what the statement says. One indeed shouldn't use their free cloud-based products for your sensitive communications with unlimited downside if there is a breach. You aren't paying them to take on that liability and they aren't promising the needed level of protection.

> Considering that China's current state is a repressive dystopia

Is it? I know that's how it's presented, and it's easy to assume that presentation is accurate, but do most the people living there see it that way? I don't doubt it's a repressive dystopia for those that are repressed, and that's horrible, but does that make it a repressive dystopia overall? Because I'm pretty sure there's quite a number of different subgroups I could pick out in the U.S. that would say we live in a repressive dystopia already.

> I feel like I'm going crazy seeing people make absurd comparisons like this.

It was made absurd on purpose, to not muddy the waters with a comparison to something that people could have actual questions about.

> Are you playing at some broader rhetorical point

I thought that was obvious with the "begging the question" part, which literally means that something is being used as fact that hasn't been proven.

I'm not saying China is great, or better than the U.S. or west or anything. What I am saying is that when people throw around statements that assume China's natural end state, and what they are moving towards right now, is a repressive dystopia, I'm going to want to see some evidence or reasoning to back it up. Otherwise how do I know it's not just "everything I've read in USA Today the last few years leads me to believe that, therefore it must be true"?
I think the dumbest way I could have hurt myself was trying to build a DIY laser cutter with a 2W IR laser. The catch is that you don't know wether it's on or not. As they say in the laser community "Don't look into the laser with your remaining eye".

The most consistently hurting project was a plotter that printed images with milk (don't ask why), it used a heating part to reveal the drawing. When a paper jam creates a fire you sure want to be near during a print job ! Plus burning my fingers a few times (lost some parts of my fingerprint on one of my thumbs).
A quick Google will also show that the vacancy rate for high end property is higher, and that builders are building more high end property, so logically there is less useful housing stock being added than the overall vacancy rate would imply.

> On the other end of the spectrum you have tools like MkDocs (or mdbook, docsify, docusaurus, etc.) which are more focused on technical docs in markdown format. These tools put much less emphasis on schema, layout, taxonomy and really try to go from a pile of simple markdown files to a rendered site with as little friction as possible. You typically just lay out files in the filesystem, make simple markdown links between files, and the tool takes care of all the details of building a doc site like layout, rendering, linking, table of contents, and even search.

That's exactly the value proposition of Material for MkDocs. Just throw Markdown at it and tweak it with some configuration, if desired.

> MkDocs strikes a really nice balance in this regard--you basically just write markdown files with simple links and it will figure out the rest. The Material theme here is _very_ slick and one of the best out of the box themes you'll find for any technical docs generator (or even SSG in general) period.

Thanks!
Although I don't use or enjoy Facebook, I actually give them a bit of a pass here. Because the concept that the lab leak theory was debunked garbage was extremely well proclaimed, repeatedly, by a strong cabal of "independent" media conglomerates such as NYTimes, MSNBC, NPR, The Atlantic, etc. In 2020 the only people willing to give the theory any credence were people whom those media companies would describe as "right-wing lunatics." Despite doing none of their own investigating, or having any credible science to back up their version of the "truth," these media outlets successfully squashed the theory and made their readers/viewers dismiss anyone who might think it was true was either a Trump-lover, a racist, a conspiracy theorist, a science-denier, or a combination of the above.

So what news organization, that its wide, diverse audience would generally respect, could Facebook have turned to that would NOT fact-check lab-leak stories as being false?
If any of this actually sticks.

I can see the judgment against shell going through appeals processes for decades, during which it’ll be business as usual. If the appeals don’t look to be going well, they’ll replace the government and the judiciary as necessary, and will try again.

Chevron and Exxon, the proof will be in the pudding, but it just smells like so much greenwashing right now.
Depending on the country, the PhD defense is more or less ceremonial. If you have made it to the defense, you can pretty much not fail anymore.

This makes no sense. To get more torque, just use a larger motor.

For the same weight, electric motors can produce much more torque than an ICE.

Yep - my bad - sorry dang.
In current C this is actually undefined behavior:

uint8_t start = -1;
uint64_t result = start << 24;

however there's some hope of defining it once C requires 2's-complement integers. (this wasn't reasonable in the past but is now)

There are worse problems with `a << b` because the shift instruction on CPUs doesn't actually treat b as an 'int', it reads the lower X bits and uses that. C can't define what X is because not only is it different in x86 and ARM but x86 doesn't even match itself - it's different for scalar and SSE ints.
Five Steps to Achieve the Perfect Balance Between Paper and Digital for Business
Hi HN, we’ve been building this for the last couple of months, partly to scratch our own itch as avid travellers. We found it increasingly difficult to keep track of changing travel restrictions and policies from dozens of different sources, especially now as many countries have started to implement differing policies for vaccinated travellers. We hope you find it useful. :)

The data is sourced from official sources (mostly government and airline websites) by our data partners, and then we organize and present this information in a way that’s easily searchable and scannable.

For the COVID19 data, We implement the same scoring system as the CDC to grade the risk of each country. We also show leading indicators that could cause restrictions to change, such as new cases, reproduction rate, and vaccination rate.

Soon we’ll be adding the ability to filter on regions that explicitly allow vaccinated travellers to visit. Currently this information is available within the description section for policies and restrictions.

The backend is built in Go using Ent (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26008521) and React as the boring tech for the frontend, which has been a fun combination to try from scratch. We aggregate data from a number of providers who scan official sources daily and then apply it to the graph, making it possible to traverse different regions of the world and find routes.
We’ve built a notification system that can alert you (email only at this stage) of changes as we detect them, which is a few dozen times a day for 247 countries and 138 regions.
Perhaps design is not the right word, it’s manually modeled. When you are using the model it doesn’t really matter whether there is a physics reference or not, the data from a manually built model is just pretty different from a scan. Like a drawing vs a photo.
I aggree that statistics is important, but graphs are of some use in statistics:

An alternate-universe Go with a lot more (& slower) compiler passes could do it, but I don't believe there are any plans to build such a thing. As it stands, this kind of code (where all intermediates have type []T) will run much more poorly than you could do with imperative loops.

The final generics design is probably not expressive enough to do it ergonomically in user code neither (building something where the intermediates are a library type with a last `.something()` call to collect a final []T).
That is precisely why tenure is important: you can think without time pressures.
I’m pointing out that functional programming goes beyond trivial things like compose3 and list operations (useful though they can be).
I agree, and it unnerves me because the solutions seem to be easy. Just allow users to tag an answer as outdated, or to add a "valid until YYYY" tag. This would provide a quick indication when skimming answers, without removing old ones. It could also allow to reopen an old question in case the accepted answer or all its answers are marked as outdated.
I read through your "Compensation as a Reflection of Values" article [1] and just wanted to say that I love it. It reflects and relates so much to my own values towards work, as a life philosophy, that I felt refreshed knowing others not only think this way but also have the power to implement such a culture. Thanks for trying that, I hope it becomes something more common to workers in general.

telemetry is just a new "safe" term for tracking and spying.
Note that, say,

SHL 1, AL ;; x86 assembly

will not affect any part of the EAX register other than the low 8 bits specified by AL. This is very simple and obvious.

An operation involving uint8_t staying entirely in that type is a complete no-brainer.

If you want to shift bits out of the uint8_t, you cast the value to something wider, and shift that.

And note that this is what you have to do when working with types that are as wide as int, or wider, which do not promote. uint32_t << 1 will lose the top bits!

Losing promotion would make everything consistent: uint8_t << 1 loses the top bit the same way like uint16_t << 1 and uint32_t << 1.

"As if infinitely ranged" (AIIR) is an obvious idea but it has flaws. One is the run-time checking that it requires, which is unattractive in a C-like language. The other is semantic issues. In a language like C, the values of calculations eventually have to settle into typed boxes. Under AIIR, these are not equivalent:

int x = 42;
int y = x * x + 3;
int z = 2 * y / x;

int z = 2 * (x * x + 3) / x;

In the second version, we have not bound the (x * x + 3) term into a variable, but inlined it into the z calculation. Therefore, its result of that subexpression permitted to be outside of the range of int by AIIR.

This is completely unacceptable, though; simply introducing a variable of the precisely correct type to hold the value of an intermediate calculation changes the semantics of the calculation.

Only the values being juggled in the AIIR, so to speak, benefit; not values that have landed.
I practically don't use StackOverflow. It can be useful sometimes to find references to bugs, or something, but many of the solutions I've seen are sub-par, or the problems I have are mostly some issue in GitHub/GitLab that I'll comment in or open myself.

On the rare occasions I find a useful question, some asshole closes it because it was asked before. What makes them an asshole is that it's not the same question at all, or the question was not answered.

Quite clearly they had sanctioned commit access to irssi over such a long period of time, so I don't think there's anything untoward about that.

In all likelihood, they probably just had their commit access revoked, or are just hiding their membership as part of the organization.

Skin/eyes: experimenting with high-brightness LEDs. These can become pretty hot in no-time. I was trying to do my own LED driver (regulating a PWM signal from voltage/current sensing), on an LED without heatsink. Because of buggy code, it started to burn my table, and by reflex I tried to pull it up with my hand....

Not to mention the countless times a white spot remained in my vision for hours, after looking at such bright LEDs (buggy PWM signal regulation algorithm that kept going from dim to super bright randomly).

Ears: every time I write a driver for an amplifier/DAC with headphones output. No matter how many precautions I take. It is going to happen anyway (wrong register configuration, the default volume was too loud, etc.).

I expect the same will happen to HN, even though I think the mods have done an incredible job so far and even though the atmosphere has shifted a bit I still enjoy the discussions here.
Sublime Text 4 disables the blinking cursor to save ~1 watt of power
Yep, in NZ, hill country on erosion prone soils on the east coast of the North Island was burned off as part of settlers clearing land for livestock.

And then of course, significant erosion occurred during heavy rain events, spreading large amounts of clay and silt over fertile land downstream, rendering it useless for years.

So the government went on a mass pinus radiata planting exercise from the 50s to 70s. And then in the 90s, the state forests were privatised.

Leaving the risk of the monoculture aside, now, when large rain events occur, logging debris is what ends up on the fertile land downstream.

I had exactly the same experience, and any hope of developing a business case went out the window when I realised I'd need a business case to justify the expense of developing a business case. In a desperate attempt to salvage the possibility of using the AI in any fashion I tried prompting GPT-3 to write the business case for itself, feeding it excerpts of several successful such documents of my own to set the tone and structure, at which point I ran out of credits.

You can try doing the same on the cheap with AI Dungeon, but there's a fair chance it'll be overrun by vampires and mad scientists before the IRR-to-WACC ratio estimation section, rendering any such document fit only for mopping up after goblins. You feel a sudden pain in your chest.
