This seems like quite a leap. Can you elaborate on your hypothesis? Genuinely interested.
Ask HN: Why aren't Interactive command-line sessions more common in CLI apps?
I'm especially talking about interfaces that include their own query prompt & internal menu system like the fdisk command on linux, or like the recently mentioned GameStonk Terminal [0]

This is one of my absolute favorite types of interfaces because all the commands are easily discoverable, and it's easy to memorize combinations of commands that take you through the different levels of menus.

Often I find when I see an exciting new command-line app mentioned on HN, I'm disappointed when it ends up being primarily operated by parameters only.

For command-line apps that are intended to be used on a daily basis & used with different parameters almost every time, these types of apps could probably benefit hugely from offering a menu & query interface.

Unrelated, but I once came across a post claiming TFA stood for "the f**ing article", and I now can't unsee that. I wonder for a split second, before I remember what it actually stands for, why the poster is so angry.

Those are definitely not substitutable. In addition to the difference in glues the peer comment notes (the oak plywood will likely delaminate if exposed to moisture), you need to sheathe a house in a product rated for that use. That oak veneer doesn't have a span rating stamped on it, so any inspector would fail you.
Then charge the new customers. Someone who put money into a new company only had to pay the amount it was worth when they decided to purchase. A shareholder doesn't get charged when the value of a company they own goes up, and is even more ridiculous for consumers.

Even if he names mostly climate change, the case is mostly on change and unpredictability.

There are "good" or somewhat intended change caused by new technological developments and discoveries. Something new is created (cars, planes, electricity, computers, internet, and so on) and entire industries become obsolete. But is a change for good as it means the opening of new opportunities.

But the core of why is bad the climate change is one of our firsts uses of predictability: agriculture. You plant your seeds today and know that some months later you will get your crops.

Bad things happened through all history when that turned not to be true. If climate change and extreme weather turns the still infrequent exception lost crops into a new normal, bad things will happen again, and at a bigger scale now.

Maybe some development will happen to protect at scale our main source of food and at least that become predictable again. But it must work in the long term.
I'm not sure a convincing answer to a charge of a disinfo is to cite leaked info on print that should never have been printed to begin with and that was published by a state media outlet of an interested party.

Britain has absolutely no obligation to follow up on warning shots there. It's bizarre to claim so. Britain didn't follow up on an actual invasion, warning shots will be ignored.

The UN vote you are citing wasn't to accept Russian jurisdiction over Crimea, it was to reject it. Abstention is support of the status quo for major powers that can't be bullied.

In reality, everyone accept Russian control of Crimea de facto. Even the Ukrainians, propaganda and internal politics aside, have largely accepted it as a ground fact that cannot be changed. It is what it is.

They can but they need to be dis-enrolled in enterprise management, so students cannot do this themselves. At least at the time I looked at it, there was no reasonable workaround.
that’s simply not true. bitcoin and blockchain is as traceable as it gets. it’s all there in the ledger.
The quote from the Labour MP is absolutely correct. Doubly so when whites are told that they're always "acting to preserve their own power and privilege", even when they're not, and they've been raised to despise the behavior they feel criticized for doing. This leads to the mindset of "well, if I'm a racist either way, I'd rather be one who actually DOES look out for my own self-interest."

It's a classic Prisoner's Dilemma [0]. I feel this dilemma quite deeply myself. I vastly prefer a society that treats people as individuals, while still condemning racism and teaching its role in our history, but if every other group acts selfishly and I still get called a racist either way, then at the very least I won't be a sucker too.

Lately this manifests in access to education. Consider this excerpt from a Washington Post report on admissions changes at Thomas Jefferson, the nation's #1 high school:

>Eleven percent of this year’s offers will go to Hispanic students, and 7 percent will go to Black students — both representing significant increases. 22 percent of this year’s offers are going to White students — a number that is largely consistent with the past four years, when White students accounted for between 17 and 22 percent of offers extended. Fifty-four percent of offers are going to Asian students, a marked decrease. In previous years, Asian students have accounted for between 65 and 75 percent of all offers.

>The county at large was 60 percent White, 10 percent Black, 20 percent Asian and 17 percent Hispanic in 2020, according to Fairfax government data.

>Still, the sharp decline in Asian representation is sure to stoke controversy in the Fairfax school system, a Northern Virginia district of 180,000 located just outside D.C.

Tensions stoked by "a decline in Asian representation"? What about the white parents, whose children make up 60% of the county but just 22% of TJ students? White students are now the most underrepresented race in TJ admissions, by a lot. The possibility that they might object to this status isn't even considered. In this case, every other big racial group is now openly fighting for their own self-interest, in the courts and the bureacracy, except for whites. How long do we expect this to last?

The solution is to preserve and rebuild trust between people of different racial and ethnic groups, including white people. I don't know how best to do this, exactly, but laws like the one proposed in Canada are probably on the wrong track.

No, it's quite different. It's not a vote on accepting jurisdiction, it's a vote on rejecting it, with the status quo being compatible with acceptance.
This is a neat little project. Thanks for sharing!

To my knowledge, Rust's macros are not generally safe/sound by definition. And that can be a big problem down the line. Compare it to Scala. When they developed Scala 3, they changed macros and dropped a lot of their powers to make the safe/sound by definition and compatible with the typesystem. But they are now severely restricted when compared to Lisp macros.

EDIT: here's an example of a discussion about that in Rust: https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/2...
Not in the comments here, but it is, in fact, a fairly common sentiment on the American fringe left (to which I belong myself, so I see it a lot in private conversations).
> It's weird how long it's taking for people to rediscover why strong static types were a good idea.

Its weird how long its taken for languages with static typing and type systems designed for correctness (and designed well for that end) rather than princupally for convenience of compilation to be available that are generally usable (considering licensing model, features, ecosystem, etc.)
This is a summary by a journalist in the Guardian; the original scholarship is in the Journal of Modern History (paywalled)[0].

tldr: scholars have never been able to say very much concrete about John Locke's intellectual relationship to Thomas Hobbes, despite these two dudes being the most important 17th-century English political philosophers. Locke's work often appears to be responding to Hobbes, but he conspicuously never mentions him by name. But wait! This new manuscript is a (third-hand) account saying that Locke read Hobbes's Leviathan closely earlier in his life and even recommended the book to others, but later would deny that he ever read it. (Also the manuscript says some other mean things about Locke which are of maybe less scholarly interest.)

It's an interesting sort of find, although 17th-century intellectual history was not my specialty when I was a historian so it's hard to say how really important it is in terms of reorienting that sub-field. Bigger picture, I suppose it depends on how much you care about what Locke thought of Hobbes.

Do you care about politics or fact? De Facto, Crimea is simply under total Russian control, and there is no internal or external force that will change that for the foreseeable future. It being part of Ukraine is just a paper fiction.
It absolutely does not need to imply anything about the psychology behind the position. If I'm long BTC (or whatever) it simply means I'm holding a position that benefits from a positive price movement in that asset.

The more pop culture meaning of 'long' meaning "i support" is post facto the other pre existing meaning. And it's not unreasonable to correlate them. If your money is where your mouth is, they are the same thing.

It's totally possible though to be "long BTC" via a position while thinking bitcoin is a total scam, if let's say you believe you can exploit some short term irrationality.
Mini-USB I agree, but at least Micro-USB allows you to run your fingers over the male side to feel for the prongs. It's unfortunately still a guessing game which way the female side is though.

I have never used racket, but what I have seen so far is pretty cool. But for typed Racket, I don't have a good feeling about it either. In particular because it is gradually typed, which kind of defeats the purpose, even though it might be practically useful. But I prefer to have actually compiler guarantees and not just best-effort help.
I don't know the numbers off the top of my head. I make no guarantees as to the accuracy of this, but according to this article [1], there are approximately 4 million house-bound Americans. This is effectively the lower-bound of the people who would almost certainly have to order delivery in order to eat food from a restaurant. Since they are house-bound, they literally cannot go pick up their food. There are other non-housebound people that would also rely on delivery for restaurant food, such as those without cars or those that are sick or (in the age of COVID) quarantining.

I'm not saying that DoorDash needs to change their model or anything to support these people, I'm just pointing out that while the rest of us have choices when it comes to how to get food from a restaurant, this cohort do not have much of a choice at all and therefore the fees from companies like DoorDash affect them quite heavily. It's effectively a housebound tax.

In NL they sell feta and next to it a product called white cheese. It's not the same and much cheaper but in [more complex] meals where the cheese is not the dominant flavor you wont notice the difference. Say a salad made of large chunks of feta, 1/4 tomatoes, q-cumber, onion, oregano, salt, black pepper, vinegar and olive oil. I would use the traditional product. If the chunks are smaller and the salad has 10 more ingredients the white cheese will do just fine.

I need to be able to tell the difference tho. My interest seem to be aligned with the producers.
For the same reason that it wouldn't be a normal function in any Lisp. The difference is that the macro expander keeps a list of macros (separate from the set of normal functions in the program), so that when it sees a list with a symbol in the first position, it can look up that symbol in its macro list, and if it is a macro, it can call the macro and replace the macro call form with the return value of the macro. Then that gets fed into the evaluator, just like how macros work in any lisp.

That's just it, right? Unicode support has always been a tradeoff between precise coverage/larger binaries and loose coverage/smaller binaries. I'd be excited to see the data size for collation+normalization get under 1MB.

In my humble opinion, geographic indicators are a problem when they create a requirement most consumers aren’t aware of.

Plenty of people have no idea champagne must be made in a region of France.

If they’re not aware of the requirement, it’s certainly not misleading to remove it.

In trademark law, you have to prove that a trademark violation creates confusion.

Are there any studies on how many consumers expect champagne to made in Champagne?

Add to that: hardware offload and DMA.

USB is limited by your CPU, FireWire gets pretty close to max speeds at all times, even when your cpu is anaemic or busy.
I'm pretty sure you're not suggesting that DoorDash, et al, invented the food delivery industry out of whole cloth...

The point wasn't that delivery fees exist, but that they seem to be increasing to the point where a municipal government felt the need to step in and do something about it. For those who are housebound or otherwise unable to pick up food from restaurants on their own, these increased fees are a high burden that is inescapable. Granted, they could simply not order food, but that then puts a different kind of burden (i.e., quality of life) on those folks.

I'm not suggesting DoorDash, et al, need to change their model, but merely pointing out that this burden affects a certain segment of the population differently than the rest.

None of the examples you cited are relevant to NATO. Vietnam and the Falklands are outside the statue of Article 5, unambiguously.

Ukraine will never be part of NATO. For it to be would require change to the NATO approval process that bars states with territorial disputes from entering, and any attempt to change this would be seen by Russia (correctly) as a declaration of war and they would successfully invade the rest of Ukraine.

Beyond that, it's not even certain NATO would risk nuclear warfare to save Ukraine. Because that's what it would take. Russia has the firepower to make sure the status quo will not change, no matter what.
Other developed countries (or ourselves, in the past).
That's because wheat, corn, and soybeans are staples, while vegetables are luxury food items, especially fresh ones. At no point in history, regular people in agricultural societies ate as much vegetables as we do right now. The diets has always been based in overwhelming majorities on grains, roots and beans, and in places with lactose tolerance, also on dairy.

A single bell pepper today costs something between $1 and $2 where I am. Imagine the government subsidizes bell peppers so that they cost $.50. As a single bell pepper has less than 50 calories, you couldn't base your diet on it, you would still need some more calorie-rich food to actually give you required energy. Since vegetables (except root vegetables) are not calorie-dense, you'd need to eat seeds (e.g. grains) or oils anyway.

That's why, if your goal is to enable the nation to feed itself, you should rather subsidize the staples, not luxury consumption.

You're confusing two different concepts.

I once encountered a situation where a junior programmer just wrote the password to the log file.

The point of using a separate type for secure data is to allow the compiler to try to trap situations where sensitive data is used incorrectly. (Yes, a dedicated moron could probably work around this kind of trap, but there is no such thing as a 100% perfect safety net.)

Trying to prevent data leaks at the hardware level is a completely different problem with a completely different solution.
I like how all criticism of this ideology is furiously and pedantically downvoted. The ideology supporters know that any open debate would expose the weak foundation of their narrative.
The 12V output of FireWire is convenient!

I built a DIY FireWire-to-car-socket adaptor, and use it with a 2-port USB car charger to get an extra two USB charge-only sockets on my laptop.

Just a warning: the Thunderbolt adaptor actually outputs 16V not 12V. Thankfully most 12V devices (including iPods) accept higher voltages, usually up to 24V or 30V.

That’s a crappy illiberal government, but a better example of a totalitarian government is the PRC: the Party is the highest authority there is, and all matters of society, private, public, spiritual, foreign and domestic (at least as long as you’re of Chinese or Uighur descent) are subordinate to the Party’s interests and considered political.
On first inspection, it seems like an attempt for you to paint "your opposition" by the beliefs of its extremists. A loaded question at best.

The most direct avenue for change on this front is probably through school board elections. Everyone can help solve the problem.

Schools I am familiar with are managed in a very top-down way, so it's hard to see at what point teachers could push effectively. They are not likely to be involved in purchasing the hardware, selecting the software, or choosing (surveillance) vendors.

You could argue that the teacher's union could be spearheading the pro-privacy push. I would support that, but it might be kind of far from the "core business" of the union. There are areas with a greater and clearer short-term impact my city's local teacher's union has choosen (e.g., internet access for low-income students).
GMO's are not perfectly harmless, but nor are they as different from other forms of human manipulation as we have been lead to believe.
