A strong opinion AND a large Instagram following.
Sinking the boat would also provide proof that the vessel was invading.
Never, ever, go over a low head dam in a kayak. The danger with them is that they do not kick you out like a normal hole. You go over, and if you don’t clear the hydraulic, you get pulled back in. Then it can hold your boat indefinitely as it drifts back and forth across the river. Then you pull your skirt and you are now a swimmer being recycled in a low head dam. Low head dams make swimmers out of boaters, and kill the swimmers. Do not ever go over one.

And rafting / kayaking is definitely a calculated risk. Skill is involved. Freak accidents can occur that just wouldn’t if you weren’t on the river, but if one is smart about it, it can be about as safe as any other recreational activity (skiing, boating, mountain biking). With friends trained in rescue and experience the safety margin goes up.

For others reading this, the danger depends on what kind of river you’re running, the temperature, and a ton of other factors. In a boat, you’re likely to die if you can’t roll the boat back up and you hit your head / get knocked out, or your boat gets trapped upside down. After you bail from the boat, you could get pinned or caught up in trees, pulled under big rocks that are undercut, trap your ankle in a rock (in shallow water), which then pushes your body underwater downstream, die from exposure / drowning (you wash down the river faster than anyone can get you and just give up the will to live because it’s too cold / you can’t stay above it anymore).
Fwiw, when I worked a crappy retail job and was on my feet 8 hours straight, I despised pointless meetings and training and would have rather been sweating while hauling boxes or cleaning the store toilet.
SSH security becomes less important when all the machines that are accessible by SSH only expose those ports to a VPC.
One of the benefits for people working at Chick-fil-a is that they always know they'll have Sunday off. Even five years in the future you can commit to doing something on a random Sunday. Unless you're in management or work at HQ, hopefully you're not still working there five years later but if you are, you always know you have that day off.
The ADL has opposed the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. If you wouldn't take a Holocaust-denying organization seriously, you shouldn't take the ADL seriously.
If you'll accept 7 things instead of 10, my answer to this is linked in the post (search for "seven things").
Interesting, I've never heard of weirs as being small before. The only weirs I've ever seen are large-scale flood control structures of the Sacramento River, and they're huge.

Capital doesn’t substitute for labor in an entire industry. (The reason it appears to is publication bias in economics papers.)

For instance, Australia has plenty of restaurant and fast food workers but has automated McDs ordering and a 20USD minimum wage.
We just abuse Make, so make test, make bootstrap, etc.
that was my experience a couple of times, but the last time i gave it a shot it was permanent, haven't looked back.
We call those cost centers, which is another useful term to know for when you’re derisively called one. Also COGS/OCOGS and such, which is basically accountingspeak for “annoying overhead we wish we didn’t have to spend but nonetheless must,” and which occasionally shows up in department names to serve as a handy reminder of your corporate value.

Without knowing how accounting works you’d sit there wondering “what the hell is that acronym in my department name in Outlook, anyway?” whereas once enlightened you understand how your team is evaluated at a higher level. It’s not just accounting, honestly, knowing how business works is advantageous for anyone.

“What do you do here?” “Oh, I’m just a cost center.” is a pretty fun tack to take with leadership, often true, and likely to confuse the hell out of them in its simultaneous honesty and correctness.
I’m confounded by the advice to avoid conflict by restricting one’s identity. By all means, don’t conflate your preference with your identity. But this is an awful way to address people whose actual experienced identity is needlessly a source of conflict.

I spent most of my life shielding myself from admitting I’m queer, and nearly all of it shielding myself from admitting I’m non-binary and admitting I’m autistic, using this logic.

That didn’t prevent conflict, it just made it harder for me to navigate and almost certainly harder for people who mean well toward me to navigate as well.

My identity keeps growing and it only gets better for me and the people I keep in my life.
Just in case you weren't aware - this Checklist is adapted from the Sqreen SaaS CTO Security Checklist. Sqreen is a RASP that was recently acquired by Datadog. Keep in mind that potential bias before diving in too deep on the sales pitch!
From a social perspective, identities make us just as we make them. One is born in identities outside of their control. And it is not possible to separate yourself from an identity as easily as the author argues. But people can agree on clear rules of engagement, evidence, and interpretation, for a _better_ interaction.
Some technologies that match your points, but don't include AI:

> 1. Make typsafe query builders that compose like SQL more popular than the left-to-right DSL style that paint you in a corner when you know the SQL that you want but end up writing it verbatim because the DSL is less understandable/maintainable.

LINQ for c# is pretty good, check that out for inspiration.

> 3. Make a framework with static typing more popular than Rails. Spring fails because of JPQL and Hibernate/entity-manager. This doesn't have to be for the JVM or any VM, but it must have fast compile and run times.

Try next.js with Typescript enabled. It's a pretty good experience.
It certainly looks like mprotect is still supported (if occasionally broken) as of 11.2 on apple silicon. Qemu and v8 both seem to rely on it.

This ignores all the government limits and requirements on speech that exist.

Fighting words, credible threats... These topics can't just be hand waved when discussing whether the ACLU should be fighting for the rights of Nazis to spout hate. Civil lawsuits are rarely even redress as most people can't afford a lawyer to just go around sueing people, even when the cases are egregious. And I don't think anyone wants a world where the ACLU is the unofficial 4th branch of government.
Second amendment is religious text.
Since we're digging up old notes on the topic, this George Orwell classic deals with (IMO) a similar them.

It's a surprisingly difficult topic to deal with in discreet analytical terms, so I suggest avoiding disagreeing with definitional points and looking to the wider picture. Don't quibble, fix it instead.

Seems like you'd just look at the median wage among groups of similarly-aged people to get a "final answer." Like this:

https://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/2020/09/2...

Its not a stretch at all to say that median incomes have been stagnant since the late 90s.
It's interesting to see this argument framed as piggybacking off the state. The state creates nothing and the protection they can provide has already been paid for. There is no piggybacking, only expecting something that's already been paid for.
I like your answer to #2, but that’s not a charity, that’s aligned incentives.
My experience with using computer ordering like kiosks and fast food apps is that you can easily make complex orders, but since the actual steps after involve humans you won’t actually get those orders.

Like, Starbuckses are usually out of more than half the things on their app. And lower end places are just going to ignore your requests.

For delivery that doesn’t even include the surprisingly high rate of the driver just giving you someone else’s order - I wonder who loses on the refund in that situation.
Nice explanation. But if "it is still correct to say that information cannot be transmitted faster than the vacuum speed of light" what are some possible use cases of this affect?
This sort of thing seems especially bad on Linux, maybe because of the assumption that anyone using Linux already knows more than the average user.

Because you were doing it from localhost, the connection came from localhost. It has to be exposed out on the internet for it to return an internet IP :)

Anyways, I agree for 1 off things, whatever, use icanhazip or whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you make 1 request a day or 1 request a month... But if you are doing anything in code that uses it, you should just host it yourself and be a good net citizen.
Show HN: Mlatu, a Concatenative Programming Language
Hi, this is my personal programming language project, Mlatu.

Mlatu is a statically typed concatenative programming language. It is purely functional with algebraic effects. It currently compiles to Rust but I may switch to Erlang.

I’d love any feedback or constructive criticism you guys have!
This release is written in an extremely misleading way. Check this comment

The people complaining about immigrants never check on if their facts are actually correct. “Illegal immigrants from Mexico” haven’t been a thing in years - the US has net emigration to Mexico atm.

For restaurants I think a lot of it relies on informal family labor, or 2nd generation cooks who are indeed often Latino.

Illegal immigrants could actually be a net positive since they’re additional customers and don’t use the services they pay taxes for.
For me, after spending two hours listening to an interview with a woman who escaped North Korea, it might as well be.
> Also I'm probably forgetting something so you probably actually have four options.

I looked into this some more and there is a forth option! A dripless shaft seal (there are different names for this as well) uses a collar that rotates with the prop shaft and a graphite or carbon stator that presses against the collar. The graphite stator is self lubricating (seawater works as a lubricant as well) so its supposed to require very little maintenance. Here's an article that explains it pretty well: https://www.passagemaker.com/technical/troubleshooter-unders...
The front line workers absolutely have it rough and they get taken advantage of constantly but they've been getting the shit end of the stick throughout history. I think these mega companies have just been able to leverage technology in order to scale the distribution of a ridiculous amount of shitty sticks in quantities that haven't been seen before.

That being said, I still agree that empathy in general seems to be trending downward and my assumption is that online life makes it a lot easier to dehumanize other people which makes it easier to treat people like shit.
Yeah I didn't like that bit either. Sounds misleading given how rare dam failures are.
Clever vs. Insightful Code
China is reaching the point where they could invade Taiwan and be confident of getting away with it, but they're not quite there yet. We're currently in a narrow window where the US could and should unilaterally recognise Taiwanese statehood and commit to a firm security guarantee.
This isn’t about the big stuff. Queer, non-binary, autistic is a small fraction of your identity. Hell any major allergies should make the cut.

It’s the small stuff like considering yourself a Pepsi drinker that causes needless conflict. People buying bandaids have preferences, but it’s not something you’re going to argue about on the internet in all caps.
It is 2021. I am managing several identities across several sites. Some are semi-anonymous (Reddit, Twitter, Bitclout), some are real-name profiles (LinkedIn, Github, HN).

I don't think its a problem of one's own identify but rather the role one plays with it's own motivations in that given context.

Also, there are now so many bot accounts that many times I am wondering if the discussing is happening with a real person.
Good on ya for scratching an itch!

> "It currently compiles to Rust but I may switch to Erlang."

Why one or the other? Why not both? :)
Both are inalienable and therefore not granted to me by anyone. I have them by default. However, I would easily choose to risk my life to defend my right to speak.
The Nature paper that this press release talks about is [0], and even better, the same issue of Nature also published an accompanying "News and Views" explanation of the paper for non-experts [1] which I thought was clarifying:

> A report by Wang et al.5 ( page 277 of this issue) now demonstrates a very large superluminal effect for pulses of visible light, in which a pulse propagates in a specially prepared medium [...] not only faster than a pulse travelling in a vacuum, but so fast that the peak of the pulse exits the medium before it enters it! [...]

> their light pulses do not violate causality. [...] They use smooth, well-defined light pulses, so that the peak of the pulse at the output results from the forward rising edge of the input pulse, which occurs far earlier in time, making it consistent with causality. An abrupt feature in the light pulse would not be able to travel faster than c.

Only 41.6% of the US population is fully vaccinated with many more either planning to get vaccinated or in the process of getting vaccinated. The mere existence of the vaccine doesn't mean the pandemic is over.

A too quick guide to American healthcare.

* American healthcare is too expensive. The problem is long known and nobody wants to solve it. That problem is administrative inefficiency. Solving that problem means terminating the a large segment of a massive industry (destroying a massive number of jobs). Drugs are expensive too, but drug pricing problems impacts specific persons that when averaged across the entirety of the population become only a tiny part of the industry wide problem.

Since medicine is expensive everybody is reliant upon insurance. The options are private insurance (expensive), employer offered insurance, and government insurance (designed for low income people and poor choices/service).

The exceptions are Obama care and military. Military has a wonderful health insurance plan called Tricare. Tricare is great for the patient because they cover just about everything but they are really hard about releasing funds to medical providers so some medical providers refuse to take Tricare.

Obama care is a new private insurance option from the government that provides an affordable insurance option partially subsidized by government funding.

I have known people who are not insured and refused to get insurance then just never go to the doctor. Wonderful medical insurance is a primary reason I remained employed by the military for a number of years.
McDonald’s doesn’t employ the burger makers. They work for franchisees, who don’t necessarily have “executives and shareholders”.
Everything is more expensive?

Labor

Housing

Gas

Food

Freaking computer components are more expensive! Those have always gone down.
Its a bit of an implementation detail I would say. If you use a single thread and explicitly order your systems then its probably possible to have fully accessible global state.

Unity, for example, encapsulates the actual component data and uses a fairly complex API around command buffers to schedule readonly and read/write commands across many threads.
> There are certainly some political questions that have definite answers, like how much a new government policy will cost.

I definitely disagree. Sure, you can have an estimation of how much the new bureaucracy will cost in the short run, but you can never predict the second-order effects with certainty and disagreement about these is usually the actual conflict. The discussion is easier on some issues than others, sure, but I don't think you can predict any with any reasonable certainty.
Yes, but because it did not require COEP/COOP, it allowed websites to break CORS policies through Spectre.
Where Will ASML Be in 5 Years?
I did a similar calculation when deciding to learn to fly small planes (vs buying a motorcycle) - the accidental death rate is higher for both compared to driving a car - but pilot error is the cause of something like 90% of GA fatalities. But 40% or something of motorcycle fatalities are not the fault of the biker - he did everything right but someone else (or something else) got him.
The guy who was a mass sighting contactee but didn't know it. The aliens must land in your yard soon they're getting frustrated you keep seeing them but thinking it's satellites....:) ;P ;) xx

But seriously, the Slattery videos in that first linked playlist are all satellites? I don't think so. Can you share a video of satellites to compare? You can clearly see trees in some and the size of this "ISS" is huge. And it's at daytime. I've never seen a bright white orb flying past at daytime.

I think maybe the faraway small ones at night could be satellites, but daytime large ones? Not a chance.

Take a look at this:

Are you still going to say that's a satellite or ISS? :)

> querying of your public Internet address

Upnp allows you to do that. But that relies on a lot of assumptions. Your address when connecting to X and Y could be different. It could be different depending on the port. It could be load-balanced and come randomly from a pool. It could vary depending on time of day. And many many other cases.
For those who want a concrete example of this ...

I watch material from mainly CNN, Sky Australia and NTD Media.

Virtually every big story on CNN in the past 2 years has had some kind of retraction (ie. lying):

- corona lab leak considered misinformation until a month ago

- first impeachment (orchestrated/funded by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden) which failed due to lack of evidence/coverup of a bogus FISA warrant extension by Joe Biden

- second impeachment (faked phone call transcript from Trump to an election official, retracted by WaPo)

- Hunter Biden story suppression just before 2020 election, with CCP and Ukraine bribing the Biden family with $1 billion and various drug/weapons/sexual favors/influence peddling/etc. counts

- CCP influence minimized (journalists are getting free junkets to Beijing, White House press corps contains multiple CCP organs nominated by US media outlets, etc.)

- Jan. 6 riot protesters killed nobody (4 died of natural causes and 1 shot by Capitol Police.)

Sky and NTD use old-school reporters, and have retracted nothing because they do factual reporting, not narratives. Their facts are ugly, but turn out to be very accurate.

NTD had some of their reporting on the lab leak suppressed by Twitter, Youtube and Facebook, and currently are semi-frozen and demonetized by Youtube, so they've had to create their own media website.

Sky reporters were insulted by other media outlets, yet tenaciously followed the lab leak, and have accumulated a lot of data not published anywhere else.
I’ll bite. What is the solution if not Bitcoin? Maybe they should wait until the bottom 70% of their citizens have enough money to entice the big banks?
> Those employers don't care.

I think parent's point is that employees care. Employers probably don't care that they're paying employees minimum wage, but if other places pay higher than that the the employees (who do care) would switch to the other jobs.

>I suspect it's deliberate. If you can't plan your life, you are a slave to work.

Are you suggesting they're deliberately doing this so "you are a slave to work"? How does the employer benefit from this?
Thanks. To answer your question, the current Rust codegen is pretty terrible performance wise, and all stack manipulations happen to a global mutable Vec. I’m hoping by switching to Erlang, I can take advantage of some of its list and pattern matching optimization, as well as TCO. It would also mean a new focus for the language, as I could add concurrency features as a goal rather easily.
What other escalation would there be if the ccp invades and installs a new government or just makes it part of China?

I think that would be game over for Taiwan and the only blowback on China would be sanctions. It would go over exactly like what happened with Russia in the Ukraine. Everyone would be pissed at China but no one would want to start ww3.
I was answering this comment, "Before cosmetics were available, some people stuck their face to an ants nest, I think the theory was that that could help peeling dead skin," which was not about crow's behaviour - either by nurture or nature.

I can't believe that people are actually taking that comment from the parent seriously. All I can say is that people tend to believe whatever they read.
The objective of a corporation is a distinct concept from the objectives of the people working in the corporation. They may or may not align, depending on which person you're comparing it to.
Have you tried taking time off without doing anything work related for two or three weeks? Not even checking work messages.

Personal anecdote: Had some longer leave last year (8 weeks consecutive), came back to work and felt energized and recharged and super productive. The projects I was interested in and didn’t do before my leave were still there and I could pick them up.

Apart from that personal anecdote I am convinced that longer periods of PTO (> 2 weeks)
are beneficial for everyone because it allows you to completely disconnect, have your brain focus on other things (side project, new hobbies or even getting bored). You’ll likely come back with a new perspective on things and that itself is worth it.
I haven’t seen any security teams recommend against implementing dnssec.

Interesting to see info about the failures, though. Thanks for pointing that out.

I’ve been running a ton of sites on domains with dnssec enabled and haven’t had any issues that I’m aware of.
Systemd or openrc?

Wayland or Xorg?

Python or Go?

That’s an appeal to authority though. What’s wrong with the following statement?

“95% of numerologists strongly believe in the predictive power of numerology so therefore we should trust them.”

When people question the foundations of an entire field, presenting a giant sample of people who work in said field an implicitly agree with the foundation by labeling themselves as such isn’t really a compelling argument?
