I agree with the sentiment, but unfortunately you only find out how the menu/ordering system works once you've already sat down, and given everything here in the UK needs to be booked ahead of time, it's not as simple as just going somewhere else down the road.
This is an excellent question/framing. The security model used in the industry right now is insane and doomed to fail, and yet it is relentlessly pushed forth and defended.
Maybe one of those 17 would have standing to sue California; but I don’t think they’re too beat up about California government officials not coming to pay them a visit. In the end, it is California isolating itself, not anyone else.
All tree shaking is dead code elimination, but not all dead code elimination is tree shaking (in webpack at least).

Tree shaking happens at the import level. If I say `import { abc } from 'some-lib'`, tree shaking won’t include any other objects some-lib may export.

Removing a branch that can never be true, like `if ('production' === 'production') { … } else { /* dead code */ }` is dead code elimination, but webpack wouldn’t consider that tree shaking.
This is really helpful. What if the engineer says "well .. this is complex and I can't really provide an estimate/depends on availability of an HPC and I have no idea how long the job will be stuck in the queue, etc."? When faced with this type of response I try to dig into the detail but it feels to me the employee gives me more molasses. Any suggestion on how to deal with this situation?
Visible light is also EM radiation, so I say you're good with it!
Yes, though word is much broader in application than that. See for example generative design [1]. Pattern languages also, and the deliberate juxtaposition of things as a creative catalyst. Sort of in line with the article I have two metaphors for that idea in the knowledge creation arena: “Throwing things into the Great Model Collider” and “One model to the tune of another”.
Then they complain when people scrape their site...
Slowly. If you look at the Netherlands which is the standout example then you will see they didn't change everything overnight. It has been a process that took forty years and they still haven't finished.
Why would you not expect at least like a 5% stake in the company as a developer joining a start-up is beyond me.
Because encouraging people to be rude to each other is distasteful, I thought it was obvious.

Similarly, calling someone a “low value comment” and then taking the least charitable view of their comment is directly against hn community guidelines.
The Linkedin API is dated. So you are probably up to date ;)
>The reason these wait staff get tips is because they work so hard

The reason they get tips is because they are waitstaff, it has zero to do with how hard they work, it's simply custom to tip waitstaff, even lazy waitstaff.

Most employees work just as hard without getting tips (like the people who are actually cooking the food).
If the geolocation data is fine grained I would hope not.
I'm not a constitutional law expert, but based on current precedent on money being a form of speech, this would probably fall under that. The state isn't banning interaction with or travel to those states, it's just saying that it won't support those states by paying for travel there. Employees can travel there if they wish by spending their own money. If it's a work related trip, California will still pay their salary during the time they are in the banned state, I believe.
Totally agree. A block device with the contents of the metadata service in it would be nice! It becomes trivial to provide at least basic access control to the service.
> Nothing prevents MS to do the same

There is a big difference between Apple's transitions between architectures and failed attempts by Microsoft - Apple is also a sole creator of its hardware, not only software. After they announced transition no more PowerPC would be sold few years later. Microsoft can only dream of banning hardware producers from making x86 laptops/desktops
Apologies, I was being snarky. Even today saying "people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin" is controversial and many would rather not have it said.
How do you depend so much on push notifications? If you are receiving so many you may want to adjust your settings. It is not good for your mental health nor your productivity to be constantly distracted by notifications on a phone
> "From everything I can tell it still is supportive of cardinal methods broadly, but as a political tactic has honed in on approval voting specifically due to its Pareto optimality."

Hmmm... the notion of Pareto optimality is driving political tactics (about what voting method to back)? I know what it means, and it seems strange to me. This suggests that a specialized economic term was used as a motivation for a tactical political decision.
Intel's Roadmap Slips: 10nm Sapphire Rapids to Enter Production in 2022
Since all the clients I maintain these days are smaller, American-facing companies, I've never been asked to add this popup and I've never suggested it because none does business in the EU. No third party tracking cookies are involved, but some of my platforms do quite a bit of fingerprinting and store hashes of those fingerprints in cookies or local storage, and try to match those later with fingerprints polled for device authentication. This is perhaps less "obvious" a need for a site's internal purposes. None of it is shared, but I had assumed if I were to build anything like that EU-facing that the notice would be required.

Taxis are worse because they will be spending time driving around without a passenger. In the worst case they will be doing twice the mileage of a personal vehicle.
A decentralized database would be versioned, a little like GIT.

In essence, only valid queries would be transmitted and replicated across peers.

It would not be a single ledger, it would be a collection of ledgers. Data that is often queried would have higher short term redundancy, that would face over time. Any data submitted would be have at least 10 or 25 copies across all clients, and data would be found through a DHT.

I guess public data would be encouraged since visible by everyone, but private encrypted data be limited. Trust and data moderation are also problems.

Nebula is pretty great.

However, the Android client does not allow for specifying a DNS server and breaks the Android system DNS over TLS. Google thinks the VPN app/client should handle DNS and Nebula app development seems very slow. This means you cannot use adblocking DNS while using Nebula.
There are exceptions allowed for various things:

California is pretending they're somehow more equal than other states. Kind a defeats the purpose of being a "United" nation if other states can impose policies on other states because they think they're offensive and not as enlightened as themselves.

Sometimes I like to listen to a lecture 2 or 3 or even more times. Sometimes I like to listen to a lecture when I'm going for a run. Sometimes I like to listen while I'm doing chores. Seems presumptuous to say I'm "not taking the course" when we know that learning styles vary so much between individuals.
I seriously hope Google pushes their OEM to include QR code support in the builtin camera app.

I have a direct report who gets so defensive, it’s almost impossible to provide any honest feedback even in code reviews. Some people can appreciate feedback early and improve, others will see it as a personal attack and become offended. People management is also a matter of context.
Shared memory space, not necessarily shared memory. I referenced Erlang & Pony after all so it's not like I'm unaware of the issues here. You don't need a full OS process boundary to separate things; it is a very crude and blunt instrument and there are much better options available. Separation is nice but paying to cross OS boundaries with every message kills performance dead. A full OS process boundary between all concurrently-running threads would be insane overkill for a Rust, Erlang or Pony program, and in practice, with best practices and the use of some tooling, even for Go, even if it is just old-fashioned shared-memory at its core.
Yep.

Anecdotally, my aunt was a Section 8 Neanderthal single-mom. She beat my cousin with a wooden spoon. Combine that with no father figure, she ran away with an infamous biker gang before she was 17.
I learned my lesson of not trusting a machine's own ability to secure itself in 1998 or 99 when an IIS machine was installed on Thursday and was completely taken over by viruses on Friday.

Block the ports using private networks or use the IP security provided by the cloud provider (which does not use your machine's security to accomplish this).

Defense in depth and all that.

But sure, docker has a footgun, everything does, otherwise linux would not ship with sudo. (someone's going to reply with a linux that does not come with sudo).
Sorry, but looks like vaporware, and the company (Kalo) seems scammy: broken website, no activity for years even when they claim to have raised millions, etc.
In Poland city pigeons are exempt from some animal protection laws. So while it's generally illegal to destroy functioning birds' nests, ones belonging to city pigeons are fair game.
Can't tell what it does from the website.

It scrolljacks you from the beginning and shows a lot of cartoon characters and trite phrases.

It doesn't even do anything yet but ask me to join a waitlist. This is supposed to replace a social network with 700 million users?! It looks horrible.
Because of the slightly tongue in cheek style. It's something that would fit better in a Medium article, perhaps.

That's not to say that everything on HN needs to be cut and dry, but factual discussions seem a bit more productive, in my experience. To that note, having any stats on the prevalence of modular monoliths would have been awesome, or maybe even more information about feature flags - those are often not discussed all that much!
I came across a racing pigeon in Sidmouth once, presumably it had stopped for a rest/food, but I was amazed by how easy it was to handle - I held out my hand once I saw it had a ring and it just hopped right up.

Either that or I'm a Disney princess.
durability is a key consideration - that can be how easy it is to replace parts over time but also the choice of materials. i personally love Corten steel (weathering steel) for external cladding - not only can it be digitally manufactured, but it gets better over time with its patina, as opposed to most other finishes that degrade in some way.
I often hear these “negotiations” with children in public and they are laughable. Trying to have a reasonable discussion with a 2 year old is only a step up from trying to reason with my dog: they just don’t have the tools.

Children are constantly pushing and probing boundaries. They are trying to figure out who is in charge. So, when you respond to their aggression in a weak way because you’re worried about them not liking you, you lose. You aren’t teaching them to “be civilized”. Little by little their respect for you will diminish and you risk them becoming more unruly.

The company I work for self hosts our databases. We self host HBase, Elastsicsearch, MySql w/ Vitess, Kafka, and a few other things. Our scale is large enough so it makes a lot more sense to pay for engineers rather than to pay for a service.

Maybe for you, I tip extra for working hard to keep my meal hot on delivery, water topped up, checking in at appropriate times. I honestly don't understand how you can say tips are not proportional to level of service and how level of service is entirely detached from working hard.

> Most people work just as hard without getting tips (like the people who are actually cooking thr food)

Most people get paid a real wage which isn't backfilled with charity from their customers.

At many good restaurants tips are distributed to the kitchen staff too. Obviously I have no control over that, and the world isn't fair either. None of this changes my argument.
I'm guessing these relatives are tired of being accused of being part of a CIA-led psyops against CCP, and they believe a chinese ID will help them sound more credible. When you're desperate enough you hold onto every tiny detail you can think of.
How is that more than a controversy? There are reports that nuclear power is beneficial as well.
> A key principle of DHCA is total inactivation of the brain by cooling, as verified by "flatline" isoelectric EEG, also called electrocerebral silence (ECS). Instead of a continuous decrease in activity as the brain is cooled, electrical activity decreases in discontinuous steps. In the human brain, a type of reduced activity called burst suppression occurs at a mean temperature of 24 °C, and electrocerebral silence occurs at a mean temperature of 18 °C.[32] The achievement of measured electrocerebral silence has been called "a safe and reliable guide" for determining cooling required for individual patients,[33] and verification of electrocerebral silence is required prior to stopping blood circulation to begin a DHCA procedure.[34]

Thank you for the link. Is "measured electrocerebral silence" a measure of zero electrical current in the brain? Or just close to it?
This is a point I see missing in many of the top level posts, here. Restaurants literally went to the easiest solution for a more sanitary and viral transmission-free method to communicate a menu to customers. Of course it isn't going to be perfect. But everyone is a critic.
What about typed request classes?
QR codes are a tool. It isn't the fault of the hammer that sometimes they are used to kill people. Likewise it isn't the fault of QR codes that many times they are used for something that isn't useful (at least they can't kill). When I'm at a museum I love the ability to scan a QR code and get a lot of detailed information that wouldn't fit on a sign - but often I just want the small sign and then I move on to the next exhibit.
Odds are you pay out of pocket then get reimbursed. Your boss can't use state funds to buy your ticket "because policy" but they can refund you for "miscellaneous travel expenses incurred on the job". This sort of thing is a well practiced workflow in most bureaucracies.
RISC-V is such a breath of fresh air compared to other ISAs. It's well thought out, elegant, and effectively solves issues other archs have. It kind of reminds me of rust in that way actually.

More to the point, the LR/SC instructions are an implementation of transactional memory, but only for single words. This is pretty exciting, since transactional memory is a possible way to make writing concurrent programs faster (and make the programs themselves faster).

I'm the opposite of you. I want the code to be rigid and deterministic.

I want fdroid to be reliably exactly what is on GitHub.

If you want anarchy, you can add your own repositories or download apks.

That all being said, code currently isn't deterministic, so fdroid could improve here.
In theory the same applies for JavaScript, just eval an obfuscated piece of code and the shaker is none the wiser.
And then an engineer has to correct it by determining the weight of pregnancies in general. Some will call it fixed, some will call it stupid. The latter one is far more correct though.

Also interestingly, for example here in southern Africa we don't really have ketchup, we only eat tomato sauce (as the closest relative).

We did have a Heinz SA, but they are failing and will be discontinued. I'm guessing that all the locals stuck to their preferred brands and no one else made enough of an inroad.

Nope, you can't. You would need to make an installation package and install the right one. No unified .app for Windows.

Honestly, I've become more appreciative over the years how on Macs everything is a .app in the Applications folder instead of being scattered across the OS, and if you want to back them up or uninstall them you can just move them around like files. I was hoping just a little that with Microsoft's sandboxing efforts we'd get a sandboxed .app-like file for Windows, but no luck.

The biggest problem, I think, that Microsoft has is that if I'm a company, there is literally almost zero reason to support ARM. It's technically complex, the userbase is tiny, the performance is slow on the few computers that have it, and those users don't technically need it for your app to run. So why bother?

It's almost the same level of asking a company to support Linux machines. There are probably more Linux machines floating around than Windows on ARM. It would almost make more financial sense to port your app to MacOS than Windows on ARM if you do cost/benefit.
> It's strange to me that materialism is still such a popular belief amongst people who consider themselves rational, because even the origin point of that belief (the atomistic view of physics) fell apart at the hands of quantum mechanics.

Why does QM contradict materialism? I understood materialism to be the opposite of spiritual beliefs rather than being about strictly Newtonian physics (although I guess that's how it started). Quantum mechanics describes the behaviour of matter and therefore is surely central to a materialist world view? What would be the correct word to describe the view that consciousness is the result of physical processes? I thought that was materialism.

> So the fundamental essence of reality is energy, rather than matter.

They're basically the same thing though, yes? E=mc^2 and all that?
I think his general argument is that the trends of modern history are not adequately explained by the obvious factors you mention, and that a single hypothesis that logically explains these effect-behaviour gaps is preferable to lots of ad hoc explanations around each individual trend.

With respect to obsession vs perception, he's saying that it only makes sense to pursue more status if you are already high status. Greater status is not attainable for most. If you mistakingly think you are high status, you will accomplish little except wasting your time. Case in point: useless advanced degrees.

I handle QR codes by taking a picture and decoding on the command line using zbarimg. If the decoded output is a URL and looks safe I might visit the site. No way I'm letting an insecure device (basically all smartphones) follow random links blindly like that. And no way I'm giving up my data points for free if I can avoid it (remember how market researchers used to pay people to participate in focus group interviews?)
We've just come out of a period in Tokyo where alcohol wasn't allowed to be served. I visited a few restaurants during that time with QR code menus and none of them were updated to reflect that fact. I'm not sure why that was but if they're not easy to update there's no real benefit to them over traditional menus.
Funny that the website has a Creative Commons license but blocks readers "out of the US" (according to IP address, which is not reliable of course).

Given that we know of nothing that isn't material, I'm unsure of why it's reasonable to think material is not the fundamental thing of consciousness.
As someone who has spent many, many hours deep in the guts of the edX codebase, this news does not bother me.

For what it does, the codebase is extremely sprawling, with layers upon layers of abandoned architectural directions. A lot of code for not a ton of functionality, and very basic functionality at that.

Of course that all is secondary to the actual success it has found, and good for the the project for making it happen. But, if this move ends up being a catalyst for investing in alternatives, that will not make me sad.
Guessing this is right. While neither would be perfect, they could have at least checked for "request coming from the same local subnet" or "enter MAC address as password", or similar.
Fdroid and a library card were my 2 best things to happen to me in 2021 so far.
