Whenever I explain the "USA" to (Eastern) Europeans, I always simply state the notion: "diverse country of the extremes".

Yes, widespread obesity, but health obsessions also run deep in that country, gym memberships, elite universities with sports programs full of money. How many weird diet fads start basically in the US? Self-help books, alternative gurus, etc.

Bad education? Yes, pretty much. But also some of the best research institutions and universities in the world. Some companies with the highest R&D spending anywhere. Many of the foremost intellectuals end up living there once they enter the international stage.

Backwards, conservative, patriotic? Yes, but also extreme progressive bubbles and widespread leftist sentiments.

"American elitism"? Largely yes in many ways, but also very friendly, welcoming to strangers (even though they are just hyperbole with excitement in many contexts compared to us).

When I read the comment section here it seems like it fits my narrative. The US, country of the extremes. Drinkers, and puritans. Now fight! By the way: The article is so speculative, how can you discuss this in such earnestness? My problem with The Atlantic in general. Many articles are kind of "grand theories based on wild speculation, and creating a narrative out of that", which then has this "intellectual" appearance about it, but says very little. Not convincing at all.

The US is like a social experiment. Deal with your racism, alcohol, health, drug legalization, gender debates, sjw/pc culture, and all that, and please ship the solutions to us, not the movements and the fight (though sadly that doesn't always work out it seems). And before I get angry responses: It's written somewhat tongue in cheek, extend me the courtesy of not assuming the worst about my person.
The Netherlands and some eastern ones.
What do you mean by "pthread_cancel" drama and being an unsolved computer science problem?
Sorry, no. Even Monsanto's own research confirms that large-scale use of Bt-corn will destroy organic farming.

When a pesticide is widespread, insects develop resistance. At the moment, few insects have resistance to BT, because it is not continually in the environment in sufficiently high numbers.

So it works as an organic insecticide when needed.

Genetically engineer it into large numbers of plants, and in 30-40 years it is no longer effective.

Which means organic farmer no longer have the option of using it.
I'm honestly happy with this part: I'm all for reducing livestock use as much as possible, and the fodder restriction is a nice way to push for this by giving a natural constraint: can't have more livestock than you can feed "by yourself".
a PDP-8 is not 30 years old... it was released in 1965. The last batch was in '74, according to wikipedia. That's ~50 years old. Remember, 2000 was 20 years ago.
> others will find ways to stop this bliss and make them work for them, and it sounds fair no?

This statement assumes humans love having control over others and keeping them in a system of pseudo-slavery. But if you look at it closely humans are the faulty, unreliable pieces and if you can get them out of your business's equation it's hugely beneficial.

And don't forget automation which seems to be looming closer and closer as time goes on. Theoretically, this results in fewer jobs for the non FI-ed people to compete for. You need something to assure their future least they become restless on the streets and adding to social unrest (that preferably doesn't include some kind of bullshit job). Food, medicine and affordable housing for a long part of their lives within a few years of working and saving would be a good start. The UBI talk is something to take note of too.
So all that will change is you use a wireless link (starlink?) to SSH into a box in another country that connects to a box to a box to a box. It will not change a lot, infact as starlink like satellites become common place you can use them as jump boxes....
Most of the weight is the generated tree-sitter grammars. I'd like to prune the dependency tree further though.
Selling your time for money being self employed is the first step, and dealing with horrible clients is a prerequisite to acquire the experience to learn to choose clients and manage their expectations. Like you I had an idealized notion of self-employment, but I pushed through it and don't regret it. It's two sides of the same coin because in the end you work for customers, but at least being self-employed you have to deal with 0 office politics and organization accidental complexity, you carry directly the value to the client with the tools you want, being fully responsible. You have freedom and flexibility because in the end you make the proposition that suits you. But it's definitely not easy at first.
Your reservations are similar to mine. I still voted yes, I think we need a clear signal, that we want an exit strategy and what is being done is not enough. Even if both pass, I highly doubt they will be put into effect 1:1 (just look at the migration initiative). If they do not pass, it would be sad if only like 1/4 or less voted yes.
My annectodical experience is, that lifelong heavy drinkers who drink the same as a heavy smoker, are long dead, before reaching the same brain damage as pot smokers.

Brain damage from pot is mostly reversible, though. Damage from alcohol less so.

In either case, Dosis sola facit venenum
(only the dose makes the poison).

So a person who used to be a heavy drinker before, would be better off, with a occasional smoke. A heavy pot smoker, with the occasional beer. And the wors of both worlds, is to combine both in excess.
Good for them. Fuck the rat race, fuck money, fuck productivity, fuck the company, and fuck capitalism. I get exactly one human life on this earth, I refuse to spend it doing meaningless bullshit to enrich people I don't care about. I don't expect anybody to do the same. If that means a world with less pointless luxuries, so be it.
You could always ask someone who works on Google Fonts. I did just that. The answer is they don't use the logs for much apart from counting how many people use each font to draw pretty graphs.

Doesn't mean that won't change in the future though. But log retention is only a matter of days, so they can't retrospectively change what they do to invade your privacy.
You then have write amplification from the merkle tree. Ignoring performance, something like this should be possible though. For atomicity, there’s going to be some clever journaling based solution.

It can be argued that’s not fully a good thing.

Looking at the environment/climate/resources, we may not know where the cliff lies, but we do know there is one and also that we are accelerating towards it without having good ideas as to how to stop.
> Another way to measure is the therapuetic index. It's the ratio of the lethal dose divided by the effective dose. It's about 10 for ethanol and 30,000 for cannabis. Larger is safer.

That’s a pretty pointless indicator. By that measure marijuana is better for you than water.
If the regex engine doesn't support indexing into a arbitrary (indexable) data structure, that's a deficiency in the regex engine, not in one particular such data structure. You can tell this isn't a deficiency of ropes, because the exact same thing would happen if you used[0] hash tables or b-trees.

Search might be slower with a more complicated lookup (versus a probably-inlined-and-otherwise-optimized pointer-plus-index addition), but that wasn't the problem described; the problem decribed was that non-array lookups weren't supported at all, and search required copying the data over to a array before the regex engine would deign to touch it.

0: for a example, not a suggestion that they would be a good fit for a text editor
How do you do any deployments?

It's common to have a load balancer, that routes traffic to nodes that are up.

That part is mostly straightforward. It could be the application's responsibility or the load balancer's. The tricky bit is maintenance on the load balancing parts.
For the last 10 years I've alternated between being an employee and doing contract work. I usually like the contract work more, but I've found it much easier to find highly paid work as an employee. I have no doubt I can find $150k+ as an employee, but I've only once found contract work that pays over $65/hr.

I'd love to hear more about how people find contact work as a programmer.
That seems like a nicely made webpage!

> it just gives you some ad-hoc shortcuts

What do you mean by ad-hoc? They seem to me be chosen and bound by default, because they are useful in practice.

> Kakoune, on the other hand, gives you a language that can express most of those operations naturally. And the language is no different than the one you use for other everyday tasks, no need to memorize new shortcuts.

Could you point me to some example?

And I am not sure if what you say about Emacs is necessarily true, you could have a minor mode that modifies the default keys to work with text tables. Org-mode's table implementation is a good example for that.
Genes do not stay put.

Genes do not know how to stay put. Their whole purpose is to spread. The difference between weed and crop is very narrow in many cases. Brassicas especially. Any gene you put into them you’re going to deal with in a weed very soon.
Packaged correctly with good product numbers I don't see how this can be an issue.
> It's humane that the damages were capped by the judge.

Is this satire?

Damages were capped at $1.715 million. Nintendo claimed based on each download being one lost sale they lost 1 to 3 million in revenue.

So essentially damages were capped at "Just about each download was a lost sale"... except a stock Nintendo Switch can't play pirated games.

-

This isn't like PC piracy where a pirate game can be as quick and easy as a paid game, so the "conversion rate" from paid to pirate can be made higher just by offering a download.

Every download has to be someone who had already decided to modify their console for illegal content or use a 3rd party emulator.

So how asinine is it for Nintendo to claim more than even a pittance of those downloads were lost sales???
I have been trying to improve the usability of secure boot key management on Linux for the past year by writing some libraries from scratch and sbctl. I have even started writing full integration testing with tianocore/ovmf!

https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl

It should hopefully end up being an improvement on efitools and sbsigntools. Tried posting about this on HN but somehow it's a topic with little to no interest, strange world!
Sure. My point still stands. They assumed the argument was correct, because of who said it, rather than reviewing the argument itself.

OP does not make this mistake. He assumes the argument is probably not idiotic, because the author is probably not an idiot (in this subject).

Again, the fallacy is in assuming it must be correct (thereby bypassing the argument itself). Probably correct is a very different thing, and is why we have credentials in the first place. An idiot will likely make an idiot’s argument. It doesn’t mean he can’t have a spur of brilliance... but it’s not likely.

Alternatively, from a programmer perspective... the compiler is probably not the one that’s wrong. It could be, but it’s probably you.

Authority has no place in evaluating an argument is correct, or not. That doesn’t mean it has no place is evaluating whether the argument is likely to be constructed well and without trivial mistakes. It also doesn’t mean authority is useless, just that it’s in no way the final say (the argument of course should hold up on its own)
Heavy marijuhana smokers can show some or all of that traits, too.

But in general if I would have to chooss between a heavy pot smoker and a heavy drinker as roommate, I probably would "prefer" the average marijuanna user
Freenode should have been incorporated as a nonprofit foundation or something like that, with a clear mission.

As long as the domain name (the key asset) is just owned privately by some project member, you have no guarantees.
Purescript-Concur is simpler, and allows you to use elm-architecture as well, but also allows you to use your existing functional programming toolkit to the fullest. It also has react bindings - https://github.com/purescript-concur/purescript-concur-react.

Here's what a counter example looks like -

counter count = do
button [onClick] [text (show count)]
counter (count + 1)

Check out a comparison with elm-architecture at https://ajnsit.github.io/concur-documentation/ch03-01-replic....
No, today's trends are the subscriptions. Far worse. Kinda like mainframes, but with a flat rate.

Also, there is almost no shareware.
Nice! A foot-pedal can improve his over-all efficiency and reduce lower back and neck pain.
Subscriptions. Even worse.
It's super easy to share my home bandwidth with my friends and family, I give them my password.

Uh my bad. It's on the top 100 (which is a list and not graph), and I was sure you talked about that top.

I don’t think it’s such a clearly Democrat vs Republican issue. Plenty of Democrats have been in favor of harsher penalties for drug and other crimes. Biden and Harris among them. The Republicans are of course just as bad on this topic.

I do think the Republicans, especially when they were more heavily influenced by the “religious right” had a noticeably worse position when it came to gay rights. However, that appears to be in the past. Let’s remember that in 2004 even Obama was opposed to gay marriage. Society took a while to evolve on the issue. And both parties have evolved since what they were in the 80s, 90s, and 00s.
Totally agree, wasn't slating the idea at all, simplicity wins out nearly every time for me.

It is an argument I've lost with managers more times than I've won though.
I think the biggest problem the western societies have today is: Finding problems everywhere.

Ok, i am from germany, so i assume my views on alcohol probably differ a lot from the view most americans have. Here, it is totally fine for a 16 year old to buy and drink wine or beer. It is totally unproblematic if you enjoy a few beers with your friends in the park... and the alcohol ban in public some cities acted caused turmoil short of a full blown riots.

What i want to say is: Why do we allways need to find "the hair in the soup"?

Yes, it may be unhealthy... but so are other things, and i think a perfectly healthy life would be terrible boring.
Hmm, fair enough, I'm more used to England and Wales. Sounds like US copyright law is pretty crazy.

Ask HN: Remote Management Software
I am looking for a remote management software for use on our Windows computers that we have at our customers.

What I am looking for is something like TeamViewer but with the following features:

- Each computer has a unique password, unknown for the user who will remote into the computer.
- Each user who will remote into the computers gets a personal user account. No need to set up an account on each computer and share passwords and so on.
- Me as an Admin can give access to specific computers for specific user accounts. Not all user accounts should have access to all computers.
- A portal where I can administer all users, passwords, computers and so on.
- End to end encryption.
- Some computers are behind VPN, problem or can the remote software go through it?

This will be used on 100+ computers.
Maybe you are right: my mind is just warped by seeing too many articles about far more 'sad' cases. This seems not so unreasonable at first sight: offering recent roms for download. He must have known that was dangerous. I saw people getting sued for offering 80s roms not so long ago: now that is real rubbish.

And about the number 1 destination: I know this site and I don't download roms... Anecdotal, not very telling sample but it must have been big.

But yes I might want to review my realities in the matter. Thanks for the perspective.
The e-commerce company's public policy team will be actively supporting The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2021 (MORE Act), which seeks to legalize marijuana at the federal level, its consumer boss Dave Clark said in a blog post.

It's so weird that these companies just publicly have full, dedicated teams to support or kill whatevers laws they feel like. Is Amazon even vaguely related to Weed?

I don't get it how a lot of people are getting so stupid.

It is like the world society reached a top a few years ago, and now we are on the path to regression, dumber and dumber. Maybe such an effect can explain the disparation of lot of ancient civilizations (Incas, ...)
Utility-sized cables, or alternatively a separate sense wire to measure the voltage on the other end of the cable. This would allow you to adjust the output voltage of the power supply to deliver the required voltage, including the voltage drop over the cable, and your LEDs would work just fine.

At least as long as the cable doesn't catch fire from the resulting power dissipation...
A little googling threw up this link:

I had a debit at 12 (Visa Electron), my own account but approved at the bank by mom.
it doesn't seem like the same thing to me at all, one is a very targeted "find a device" api/network that does nothing except allow airtags to send an encrypted "here i am" to a airtag owner while the amazon sidewalk network is "open to everyone and anyone to send anything" - what happens when someone co-ops it as a proxy for hacking? 80kps is enough for an ssh session. It's basically like having a slow unprotected wifi network piggybacking off your connection.
Fun fact I just made another site last week with an html5up.net theme: https://3d.st
This is quite interesting. I didn't know this was a thing.

A primary issue, as I see it, is caching of third-party assets (as dmkil posted elsewhere, think jQuery, Google Fonts, Facebook Pixel, etc).

Could this not be solved using the Cache-Control header, or maybe some HTML attribute variation of this? Maybe something like:

<!-- Use a site-specific cache for its stylesheet, default behavior -->
<link rel=spreadsheet href=index.css cache-key="private">

<!-- Use a global cache for jQuery -->

Yes, I do understand that. So there is a certain probability that my “i am a high population country” conclusion is wrong (e.g. if I am from Iceland). As already asked below: Do you know a way to quantify the likelihood of me making the wrong conclusion (without knowing the population numbers of the other countries)?

> the "nautilus" shape is simply a resonant chamber.

From what I've read, it's the opposite of a resonant chamber, it's filled with wool to absorb any sound which could be reflected from enclosure. It's special shape ensures that each frequency emitted by driver is absorbed at different place to ensure no harmonics, THE only sound emitted from this speaker is made by front of membrane.
I can write a Rust library for an OLED device that is driven by a platform agnostic I2C device that will run on any microcontroller that implements the necessary abstractions.

huh i didn't even think about that, plug an amazon device into your network and this mesh allows anyone to connect to it - exploit it and now they are on your internal "Secure" network. brilliant.
Here in Germany they are still everywhere. I would estimate, that 2/3 of BMW 3 and 5, Audi 4 and 6, Mercedes C-class and almost all VW Passat are sold as station wagons. What is dead here is a sedan.

But the overall number of SUVs and crossovers is still rising.

I personally love the space and utility of my BMW 3rd touring and I will not buy any electric car which is not a station wagon.
One of the authors here, happy to answer any questions you might have.
Binge drinking is a problem in germany.

You can allmost call it youth culture, most kids go through, before becoming adults. In my late teenage years, it was common and expected on parties to drink, until you have fun, who can drink the most (and puke afterwards), etc.

Most people, like myself, had enough of this after some time and matured - but I know too many people, where the booze and beer stayed with them.

That compares a can of beer to a .. at least large-side-of-medium (for home consumption, not charge-by-the-glass regulated sizes perhaps) glass of wine.

And even then the wine comes in pretty much in the middle of the beer range, you've just unilaterally decided that the less calorific beers are more common and drawn your conclusion on that basis..

Maybe that is true in the US, certainly causes a problem with ordering an IPA in the UK - I don't like the light fruity style of the American version, which is typically what you get from anything that would self-describe as 'craft', so it's a bit of a game of judging the branding for modern start-uppy craftiness vs.. imperialness (!) if not already familiar. (I digress..)
