Off topic but can you please email hn@ycombinator.com? I want to put your post in the second chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308) but it needs a bit more information.

Edit: thanks!
From what if seen, most modern openers have lost the ability for a simple button to open/close the door.

If you solder, even just a little, you can attach a pair of wires to the board in the wall mounted button so you can control it from whatever project you are doing. I using pins on a pi to flip a relay and complete the circuit as if I pressed the button.
The choice isn't systemd or roll-your-own-init-system. There are alternatives like runit, openrc etc.

You can do the same painless setup (arguably even easier) with runit as the base template requirement is literally just

#!/bin/sh
the_executeable &

Granted, logs in runit are optional but there are problems with default logging too, e.g. Docker will keep filling logs until the disk is full unless you explicitly tell it not to in either its configuration or your own custom log rotation rules. Neither of which are default.

Local weather systems are a part of the globe, so yes
The reality is that we don't actually have the answers people imagine we have. Temperature records have been kept since about the 1850s and data from before that time is based on proxies from which we make inferences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_temperature_record

First actual recording of temperature in Seattle, Washington dates to 16 February 1870.

I am not readily finding a similar document for Portland, Oregon.

In the US, we sometimes have oral histories from Indigenous populations that help clue us. In Southern California, there were Native stories about their ancestors being aware of a lake in what is now the Salton Sea and was dry land when White settlers or explorers were first going into that area.

We have data models. We have oral histories. We think we know what the weather was like for thousands of years but actual recorded weather goes back less than two hundred years.

So the reality is that we know for certain less than our stories in popular media might lead you to believe. Please keep in mind that our awareness of a hole in the ozone was delayed due to an algorithm that dropped readings of "zero" from the data on the assumption that it was some kind of error.

If you think our data models are perfect and humans make no mistakes, you can believe what our news stories tell you. If you don't believe that, then the answer is that "We don't actually know as much as we like to pretend we do."

Based on usage here, I’ve come to understand TFA as “the FULL article.” For me, this comports with the spirit of HN rules. Used in that sense, it allows for the possibility that another commenter may have skimmed, or even read the article, but may have missed a detail that the FULL article addresses.
> This is entirely compile time and it covers all executions of the program, whereas taint analysis done at runtime and consider only some executions.

That is literally just the difference between static versus dynamic typing.
I think this article misunderstands the list of supported processors. The Microsoft page is for hardware developers, e.g. laptop and desktop manufacturers. They shouldn't be using CPUs that aren't currently manufactured/supported anyway. I don't think it restricts anyone running Windows on their existing older hardware.

I'm still on an i7 4790K, and it's not listed as a supported CPU in the lists for Windows 10.

I'm almost certain that you haven't been able to buy a car without AC for more than a decade, enthusiast cars not-withstanding. Homes, however, are often without AC. Seattle has the lowest per-capita AC installations for US metro areas, something like 40% last I checked.

The comments in this thread are incredibly disappointing.

Hate speech is already a crime in Canada, as many others have pointed out. As someone who has experienced a lot of American and Canadian culture and lived in both places, I think this is A Good Thing overall.

Canada is not America. The two countries have different histories and different charters. This isn't a slippery slope. For christ's sake it's a fine even.

The article subtitle hits the nail on the head:

> The proposed law would likely run afoul of the First Amendment in the U.S., but despite popular misconceptions Canada is actually its own country.

Hate speech is a pretty strong form of speech. It's typically not even telling racist jokes or making sexist remarks. It doesn't typically encompass civil debates or policy opinions. You're always free to speak your mind, you just shouldn't use those words to harm others.

I've yet to hear any argument for why there should be a forum for hate speech, either in the physical world or on the internet.

This is something that authoritarian regimes do to eliminate their political enemies through color of law. They create vague laws that only get applied to their political enemies.

Really unfortunate to see this is the path Canada has gone.
If you stop thinking about Myers-Briggs as an indicator and start thinking about it as a preference label, it stops being pseudoscience and starts being just a way to talk about yourself.

Banned accounts can still post comments, but their comments are killed by default - that is, they're marked as [dead] and only users with 'showdead' turned on in their profile can see them. If enough users vouch for a [dead] post, it gets restored.

But why not read the site guidelines and take the intended spirit of this site to heart instead? We're happy to unban accounts when people give us reason to believe that they'll follow the rules in the future.

Even English a few edge cases where collation order doesn't match letter order: titles are typically ordered ignoring initial A/The, names are often sorted by surname (even when written with given name first); famously, M'/Mc are are traditionally sorted with Mac, along with a host of special cases that get gleefully thrown out in this era of doing very dumb very fast.
You're right, there's no reason to believe that. At least, not unless you've been paying any attention at all to the rhetoric and explicit ideological content of "anti-racism" over the past decade and you're able to locate this bill in that context.
> If you wouldn't be comfortable with the Trump administration defining "hate speech", you shouldn't be comfortable with Trudeau defining it either.

I disagree with this. I wouldn't trust the Trump administration with coming up with a list of human rights, that doesn't mean that the only acceptable compromise is that we shouldn't have any.

Your first sentence is solid advice, but I think you've drawn the wrong conclusion from it. It's a totally reasonable stance to be more comfortable with someone who's at least vaguely competent being in charge when discussing a complex and delicate issue.

Perhaps the point you were intending to make was that we shouldn't be comfortable with it being ambiguous enough that it's up to any particular government's definition, rather than being inherently uncomfortable with the definition itself?

Why am I getting ads for services I don’t have, and why can’t I switch them off if I want to?
This comment confuses me. There’s plenty of reasons to wring hands over a new law, and the existence of an old law doesn’t change this. It’s well known that the old hate speech laws have existed for 20 years, and also that they have been unevenly applied (not investigating extreme hate from Imams for instance), and harassing journalists for engaging in basic acts of exposition (publishing the Mohammed cartoons).

The concern is obviously that the new provisions don’t do anything to address these issues, and seem likely to exacerbate these concerns by expanding the scope and the range of punishments in a way that could chill speech, especially since the law doesn’t adequately define its terms leaving that up to unelected bureaucrats.

This law also follows on the heels of bill C-10 which similarly leaves a lot of unanswered questions about how popular youtube channels will be regulated. So Canadians hackles are already up.
My opinion is to abandon these "traditional" parties and go back to the fundamentals of what makes a society free and prosperous. Then vote based on that.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe. Ukraine is 2nd and Serbia is 3rd. Out of some wacky coincidence these are also the European countries that had very strong alignment with Russia.

Myers-Briggs isn't pseudoscience. It correlates highly with OCEAN [1]. Perhaps the scandal isn't the adoption of MBTI but the reluctance of psychologists to use it in more studies.

A hurled object would decelerate from the moment it is thrown. Its fastest speed is at launch. Rockets have their slowest speed at launch, and they continuously accelerate. So they are definitely not "hurled".

I also assumed it would be there, but unless I’m missing it, the option to disable those ads doesn’t exist.

Big Signs That Your Documentation Stinks
If trump was the establishment, why did the military disobey his order to withdraw from Syria.

I mean this honestly. To me the establishment means being able to influence the ruling class. Despite trump's presidency, in several important policy points, where he clearly stated his policy, his rules were violated by a seemingly out of control bureaucracy.

The us diplomatic staff to Syria was caught bragging that the army had left 900 troops without informing the president. How is that establishment. Quite clearly, someone else is in charge
Clearcase was available at school? Not rcs/cvs? To me clearcase is one of these big, expensive, corporate tools, so I am a bit surprised.
What bothers me most about this, is how there's even a debate about privacy. While we (western world we) acknowledge the need for privacy and anonymity when it applies to sources in corrupt regimes, depending on politics and time of the day, that same respect for privacy seems fleeting.

Children are always likely to learn something about themselves that displeases their parents. This can be anywhere from sexual orientation to religious inclinations. As a society we can and should enable this exploration - it only makes for a better outcome. Any society that can ongoingly say that critical thinking has led to the desired outcome is like (IMHO) to succeed and grow.

I fail to understand how we've moved from free speech to lack of privacy in such a short period of time. Today in many places, people are arrested for covering their faces in public - though not in the winter where such gear is warranted. People are arrested for expressing views (frequently violently, but not always) that are aligned with many, and abhorrent to others. Privacy would and should allow such exploration.

To me this is fundamental we ought be teaching, much like basic finance. Bother are important to get through life, and the ripple effects will be enormous. Clearly I have a bias.
It’s become abundantly apparent over the past few years that climate change is striking right now. Unfortunately it’s still in 1st gear and we are far from yet close to some truly horrendous changes in earths equilibrium. In college (4-5 years ago) I often tried to explain to friends how much energy was required to add a single degree in average temperature to the worlds oceans (it’s a fuck ton) and we’re well past that point. I’m genuinely convinced this will lead to an extinction level event where we either make it through radically changed or society as a whole catastrophically fails.
Sorry but how is this a case for debate??? This is not a matter of opinion, it's an extremely serious accusation that a foreign government institution caused a global catastrophe of historic proportions. Do you have the type of incredibly solid evidence that would take to back that type of accusation in court?? If you do, then go to court, if you don't then there's nothing to "debate" unless you are shopping for a defamation lawsuit that is what would be a fair and logical consequence to that type of baseless accusation. People abuse free speech because they are not facing the due legal consequences for all the defamation they incur on. But just because it's hard to prosecute so many offenders doesn't make it right or legal.
They were on the autism spectrum, and had written about feeling emotionally sensitive and easily overwhelmed. Unfortunately, that's all it takes for bullies who just want to have an impact on someone -- knowing you're vulnerable to it. Then they came out as non-binary and made some political posts, which elevated it to hatred for many of those bullies.

You're correct in that it was an obvious joke like because of course they can't tell they illegally downloaded the game, or they would soon be getting an DMCA takedown. But they were just taking the piss out of the ones issuing these takedowns as with the "Crow dropped the stick" explanation there's nothing they could base their action on.

Exactly. Joe Blow building manager is not a structural engineer. The comment about "major structural damage" at the end of report was probably not even read. The beginning of the document is about paint bubbles and 'the tile makes the rail too short'. That sets the context.

The article casts a building department administrator as having some dire knowledge of the building condition and simultaneously telling residents everything is fine. But a close examining of the situation leads me to believe the building department administrator had no such indication.
False.

Others in this thread have already spoken about getting ads for Peacock, Disney+ and Hulu even though they don’t have the services installed, let alone in the app bar.

Today I tried to continue watching a show I’ve been watching for a month and Apple wanted me to pay money just because it’s on Netflix. No mention whatsoever that it’s on Netflix or even a banner to read “content from other services may not appear in this app”.

Sure I can check Netflix separately, but that means that if I want to use the most popular streaming service in the world on this device reliably then I no longer have a universal search feature.

It’s crazy that the experience is this bad and no-one is willing to point it out.
It is very easy to suppress inconvenient opinions by labelling them as controversial or hate speech. If you're only free to speak when nobody is listening, it's not freedom of speech.

The issue is you might do the test today without a morning coffe and 5 years from now after a good night sleep and get a large results disparity.

So either we accept that we as people keep changing the personality, that this tests for, thus making the test meaningless. Or we accept that inter test reliability is not great, which also makes the test meaningless.
I’ve always been curious, is this intentional correcting of seemingly innocent mistakes actually something that non-cis people care about? There’s asshole intentional misgendering and there are legitimate accidents, which can be a slip of the tongue (I regularly misgender people accidentally, despite wanting to be respectful, I put it down to many decades of cis programming which I now need to undo).

As a gay man I’m more than used to people assuming I’m straight, I don’t speak for all gay men but the consensus in our circle is to politely correct but not get obnoxious, I would guess other queer demographics would be similar.

Tell HN: A thinking pattern that has helped me overcome negative thinking?
I've been looking into how to be less pessimistic, defeatist, apathetic and become more curious, action oriented and all that good stuff. I read through dozens of ideas.. but one thing has worked.

Don't use logic. Monitor your thoughts and if you find even hint of negative thoughts, stop it. you're done. mentally leave.

For so long I tried logic my way out and it never worked, to top it off negative thoughts are often very logical too. So counter logic has to work really hard to be convincing.

But if you don't fight that battle and just create a principle for yourself that you will now allow yourself to go there, it starts to work.

Over time, you will naturally think less and less such thoughts, and become better at monitoring.

Even if negative thoughts are logical this is better because the outcomes are superior. I.e. not sulking over things that are true but you can't do anything about.

Sure it's healthy to be realistic and have good dose of pessimism, but if you have been on negative side for too long, then you need to have pendulum swung to the other side first to break the patterns deeply carved in your brain.

TLDR: monitor your thoughts and follow your principle of not engaging them ever
Yes - for whatever reason we really like to get our own label and wear it with pride. I would be very curious to find out if we actually try to fit into this newfound label if we knew about it from an early age. When I was young members of my family told me what sun/zodiac sign I am and kept explaining my behavior from that perspective - I actually enjoyed it and believed in it and (annoyingly enough) I now fit the description; wish I knew if this is pure coincidence or something I managed to embed within myself - there must be some studies out there on this issue
Yeah, it's a weak aspect of the confirmation bias we're all constantly subject to. If your story's relevance is amplified by the reported confidence, it makes sense to inflate one in hopes of inflating the other. Such is the world we live in, sadly.

Nonetheless, it's still interesting to learn there might be such a closer connection between Locke and Hobbes. The Fine Article indeed!

Even English has no defined ordering for all characters. What is the ordering of punctuation marks? Do upper case or lower case letters go first? How do you deal with white space characters?

ASCII ordering is just an arbitrary standard that mapped numbers to letters so people could make computer hardware interoperate. It's not always a sensible sort ordering.
