It's not all just redundancy since it imposes stiffer penalties on the strict subset of crimes deemed more important to punish or deter.

I don't really like that one kind of assault is punished more than another even if the physical harm is identical, although I can see why some people would.
Because everyone arrested is guilty, therefore a criminal.

I can't quite explain why, but I was really into this until I saw it required glue.

I don't like glue. It's messy, it takes time to dry, and it's not reusable. This pencil sharpener is still a neat party trick, but the glue downgrades it from something I'd actually want to buy.
The ironic thing is that the people on Hacker News understand security.

They know that a lack of voter ID, mass mail-in balloting, ballot harvesting, lack of chain of custody of ballots, lack of ability to observe the counting of ballots, etc. are all terrible security practices. They practically guarantee fraud in elections.

If you told the average HN reader to secure his banking information like we secure the vote, she would think you're out of your mind. But somehow, a complete lack of ballot security is just dandy. It's almost like some people feel that any means necessary to win is okay.
I lived next to an Air BNB for two years and never had a single issue (and I'm a fussy, generally antisocial, very light sleeper). I dont think either of our experiences really suggest anything, other than people need to be responsible for their property. If an owner is letting something happen that disturbs those around his property, he should be held accountable. No need to outlaw general concepts.
Not wanting to do it and not being able to do it are two different things. To an adhd person boring tasks aren't just boring to do, they are impossible to do even if they were paid a million dollars to do it.
Not directly console.log related, but you can use the console-only monitorEvents() method to log all the events triggered on an element:

I don't know about their morality, but their ethics appear to built upon Not Invented Here syndrome, where they don't allow themselves to learn from the (long) history of hotel and motels.
Actually, the author is doing something very close to that.They have redefined a reasonably well-defined term in a disingenuous way and then taken that as a given for the rest of the article.

You can see several people point this out. This very thing - redefining terms to fit an agenda or argument - is often used in political arguments. It's destructive.

That's the parent poster's point.
It is simply not true. Iranian nationalism was front and center on the glory of Achaemenids. Period. In fact the only time that Zoroastrian religion has been used to prop up a state and sense of nationality in Iran was the 3rd Persian empire, so the article misses the target by about 2000 years. It was the Sassanid kings that needed religion to revive a sense of Iran after Hellenic rule, and also to gain legitimacy because they overthrew the Parthian dynasty.

> Perhaps as a result of the sponsorship of the Pahlavis, nearly every Iranian I've met outside Iran (including many who lived there before 1979) have good understanding of Zoroastrianism's role in Iran's history and culture - and a reason why many people in post-Islamic Iran have liberal values despite living under a theocracy.

Zoroastrians are not "liberal". No religion with priests can ever be "liberal". It's the original religion with a zillion rules of dos and donts.

Iranians are liberal because that is our nature. Because our poets constantly drill it in to our national psyche to be tolerent, generous, think of others, etc. Was Saadi a Zoroastrian? Ferdosi? Hafiz? Attar? Rumi? Khayam? Even illiterate Iranians can recite chapter and verse from the literally wealth of our nation.

The first "theocracy" in Iran was, as a matter of historic fact, the Sassanid Empire. And the original Ayatollahs of Iran were called Mobed Mobedan. _ALL_ of instances of extreme intolerance in Iran have happened during periods when the -clergy- was powerful and involved in matters of state. First time around was in the decidedly Zoroastrian Sassanid empire, and then after that so-and-so :) Shah Abbas II divided the state between Court and Mosque, under Shia Mullahs, which is how the Mullahs came to have so much power in Iran.

Pay attention there to a man named Ferdosi. We got our history from him. The -ludicrous- notion that Iranians were unaware of our history and heritage of Zartosht until some Zoroastrians from India came to instruct us is just too much.

> Persia had a significant influence on Islam even before the Arab conquest of Persia, evidenced by the Persian loanwords in Arabic [1]. It's hard to imagine how Persian culture wouldn't have had a huge influence on Islam inside Persia itself.

Of course. Iran has had a huge impact in history and all sort of matters. And yes, Allah uses a Persian word to name Paradise and he even calls ITself "Ahura-Mazda" (in Arabic, naturally :)

Absolutely. If we can have Columbus Day as a federal holiday, there's absolutely no reason why something as fundamental as voting shouldn't also be a federal holiday. But the act that practically defines the difference in power that citizens have between the US and Great Britain when we fought free of them is an act that is made inconvenient at best and close to impossible at worst for people with certain types of jobs, obligations, mobility issues etc.

On paper it seems okay: polls generally open early enough or close late enough that a person can vote before or after work. Except that is so often the requirement for people that polls in some places are backed up for hours during those times, making the choice between losing money if you're an hourly worker to take extra time to vote or have to skip all together if you have a family to care for and can't wait hours to vote.

Voting should be made as easy as possible. It will always take an extra detour from your daily routine but it should never require a trade off between losing money or caring for your family or any other disincentive.
In my experience, boutique hotel chains are much more likely to overcharge you. With AirBnB, you pay ahead of time and the host does not have access to your financial info. Totally different situation with a hotel, where I've had to resort to legal threats to get deposits returned after waiting over a year. AirBnB has downsides on some risk in having the unit not be as described, but it is much safer than hotels when it comes to payment, overcharges, undocumented charges, refunds, etc.
A lot of people feel that Epstein was CIA (at least sometimes). I mentioned the CIA trafficking cocaine through Mena Airport on the earlier HN CIA thread, but I actually learned about that researching Epstein. It’s thought he and Wexner were involved in the Mena operation.

This whole series on Epstein and intelligence agencies is fascinating. This part focuses on Epstein/Mena/Clinton but it also explores ties to Trump and pre-Epstein CIA and FBI operations.

I had a tough time figuring out what the take away was as well. I think my sense is that there isn't a prescription or anything to the article but that a bubble isn't inherently a terrible thing and that there are good things as in the authors argument that bubbles point to a future change based on current [over] optimism. Maybe a silver linings take on the bubbles.

I thought it was interesting to think about them but I do agree the vagueness of the take way did leave me wanting more from it.

In Australia, schools are often used as polling stations. Schools generally have parent volunteer groups who try to raise money for the school, and those parent volunteer groups use election day as an opportunity to sell food (traditionally, sausages) to the voters in order to raise funds. The sale of food is an entirely non-partisan thing.

If a partisan group started giving voters free food or beverages at a polling place, that would be illegal.

This article smells like a software person looking at CAD from a technical standpoint without significant experience with complex product development or production. The reality is, the processes around CAD (namely R&D iteration, tooling production, fabrication and assembly process iteration, management thereof) cost far more than CAD does.

In short: who cares if something is single threaded when you are paying literally 100 times that person's salary per day in idle equipment, space and so forth? It's a rounding error. Buy a faster machine.

The industry broadly agrees with the author that greater integration between factory floor equipment and digital models is desirable and/or coming (Industry 4.0, etc.) however the complexity of this space is staggering.

To briefly explain: every fabrication process (or 'unit' operation in process management terms) has theoretical abilities in terms of part generation, modification or assembly but these are limited by equipment at hand (speeds, tolerances, tooling compatibility, maximum and minimum dimensions, etc.), time, knowledge/training, material and other inputs. Furthermore, equipment-specific maintenance schedules, power requirements, failure modes, consumable replacements and environmental parameters cannot be ignored. And that's before you have to look at aggregate tolerances, lasting effects of these processes on part materials, variations caused due to environmental conditions, temporary storage and movement of parts and inventory during production, secondary processes, human error, regulatory ingress, supply chain complexities, etc.

Typical products may include somewhere between 5-100 unit operations to produce, some can take 1000s or 10s of 1000s, especially if you include electronics fabrication, packaging and testing. Individual tooling assemblies often take months to produce, even years if multiple iterations are required. It's not something you use a single program to plan for. You need an experienced team, time, money and a plethora of systems.

Agreed with the sibling comment, that’s kinda my point, in the US those would also not be considered IT (depending on what they do).
The US does not have much corruption. It is present, obviously, but you probably don't realize what corruption is like in "real" 3rd world countries.

About the infrastructure, the one in the US is comparable to that of most rich countries. If you cherry-pick, sure you are going to find something.

Health care in the US is problematic but I think the best indicator of quality is life expectancy, and the US is high tier.

And you think journalists are persecuted? The US is one of the most free country in that regard, more than Europe and much more than in Asia. In "real" 3rd world countries, they get killed, tortured, and all sorts of fun things if they disagree with the local ruler.

Climbing the social ladder is far from impossible in the US. It is hard, but it is hard everywhere, the ones on top of the ladder never want to let go, but at least, in the US, there is no rule officially preventing it like castes in India.

Worker protection could be better but it is no nonexistent either. At least, there are contracts that mean something, safety standards, etc...

Incarceration rate is not necessarily the sign of a third world country. In the worst places, there are no prisons to keep criminals locked in, and they are out to get you.
>GTK3 regressions from a GTK2 perspective

It's a bit odd to read this sentence. GTK2 got its last minor release over 10 years ago, and was EOLed 6 months ago. It's a dead project. GTK3 is also feature frozen as of 6 months ago, and will not see any features brought back from GTK2. If you want to get some of these issues fixed, it would be best to start submitting patches to GTK4, or trying to find other solutions that will work there. Or, you could try to revive some of that GTK2 code yourself, although I wouldn't recommend it -- a lot of that code is very obsolete.

>Horrible GTK3 / GNOME UI design is leaking into Ubuntu Mate applications in 20.04

This is a design decision made independently by the MATE developers to update their app to a different design, no? I don't see what GNOME has to do with this. Regardless of your feelings on it, at least one person seems to have thought it was the right decision.

>And then you have the terminal Termite

I remember this issue from last time it was discussed, I think the Termite maintainer overreacted as a result of a very normal technical disagreement. I don't really witness them rejecting patches any more than any other project. I also disagreed with that developer's decision to fork on a technical level, I thought that was unnecessary and could have been avoided.

>But the negatives in short are poor documentation, memory leaks, you end up only using the approved plugins (if you don't like to restart your desktop more than once a day) which of course negates the whole idea of a plugin system.

Some people are actually working on the docs, please contribute if you are able: https://gjs.guide/

There have been issues with memory leaks in the past, but those are bugs that can pop up with any garbage collected language. I'm not sure what you'd expect them to do, besides do the normal thing, and fix the individual bugs whenever possible.

I hate that I always have to say this, but there is no alternative to only using approved plugins, on any plugin system. I don't know what you mean it negates it. In Javascript the crashes and hangs are usually from unhandled exceptions and infinite loops -- This is even worse with a C or C++ plugin system, because those are memory unsafe and can cause bad segfaults. If the javascript is causing segfaults then that's probably a bug that should be reported.
