Syria is not a former USSR country my dude.
Yes. I've seen it happen a few times before but this is now the directive (and a very positive one, in my opinion).
Yes, I hadn't thought about that before, but of course the difference here is that the Rust compiler cannot just produce a "good enough" result for pattern matching.
QUIC/HTTP/3 has a similar 0-RTT handshake that also leaves a privacy hole if used. Same for TLS/1.2/1.3 resume tickets.

All of those are fairly irrelevant because they don't give more information than first party cookies, first party cache presence or cache content...

I suspect the privacy advocates aren't looking deep enough in the stack...
The Geography of Open Source Software: Evidence from GitHub
Chinese students have been studying abroad for decades now, in countries all over the world. Are you suggesting all of them use BTC to be able to pay their tuition?
And theirs Git UI, gmaster, includes the same diff tech too.
I do not use it for everyday tasks, but when I need to understand complex and/or big changes this is my go-to tool.
Maybe less 'literally'. Also, sparing use of the personal pronoun.
But the server could theoretically add/save more information... like linking it to a user session.
I had not thought of pattern-exhaustiveness checking like that.

Isn't compiling several languages, including Rust, actually undecidable though? Seems like if your type system or metaprogramming systems are Turing complete, this has to be the case.

So that's ~worse than NP-hard already (though calling it NP-hard is still technically correct).
It's roughly the same costs as Hubble ($9.3 billion in 2020 USD), and that excludes the costs for the mirror correction they had to do.

It seems clear the original estimate of $500 million was overly optimistic; actually, it was criticized almost immediately as such after publication. There's a lot of incentive to low-ball these initial cost estimates.
What's the end-goal of China though? Is it to engineer ethnic bioweapons:

Or to figure out the genes for intelligence, health etc. and to modify their population with them?

IMO vim is better paired with tmux and the command line git, whereas with emacs it’s more common to open terminal buffers and use magit. Vim is more of a beefy editor while emacs is more of an environment. This is reflected in the way that both programs have designed their key binds and modalities. Emacs is much more amendable to many major modes whereas with vim, despite being a modal editor, things get crowded really fast.
These little things is what stops me from buying a Mac. I am sure the touchbar would drive me crazy and removed any joy from using the machine. I have not looked lately, but remember also the keyboard had some important keys missing that would be useful for me.

> I don't mean to insinuate but I do have to ask if you're actually reading what I'm saying in good faith or just reacting.

I am reacting to the increasing trend of renormalisation of the exception to make it the new norm(al). If the new normal is not to denote sex in the passport this would mean that everyone would need to carry an additional document - like the medical IDs mentioned - to identify themselves as male or female to the aforementioned police officer [1] and doctor to avoid the mentioned risks.

[1] as to your earlier remark about me seem[ing] to think that the police officer is supposed to process someone that is unconscious into jail. Just...what? - realise that different countries have different norms, no matter what you may think of that. The Indonesian police officer will act according to Indonesian norms, not according to yours. While what you or I think about those norms is up to us, it is decidedly not up to us to dictate our norms to others.

Technically light doesn't experience time.

Which means there's no such thing as "how much time it takes light to travel from the Sun to Earth". It takes no time at all. Yet we do say "8 minutes 20 seconds". Everyone would claim that's the correct answer. In which case at the point of detecting this light on Earth, if someone asks us "when did the event of it leaving the Sun occur" you'd obviously say "8 minutes 20 seconds ago".

So while there's no true universal "when it happened", we're all here on Earth and we've developed a certain way of expressing ourselves about time and light, and broadly speaking we're all sharing a relative point of view in spacetime, relative to something 31 million light years away.

So to say "we detected it 3 hours after it happened" when it happened 31 million lights away would be poorly written, simply put.
Mercury vapor turbines.
Or worse than NP-hard: C++ template instantiation and the C preprocessor are Turing complete. (Except that I believe C++ requires some fixed limit on the maximum instantiation depth, but even so it's still exponential complexity.)

Hey. So at the end of the 19th century both Germany and Japan where backward agrarian societies. I have read (sorry, no reference) that bigoted westerners considered Japanese people to be lazy and feckless. I repeat, things change.
> Pretty much all the articles take the Juul party line that e-cigarettes help convert smokers away from combustible tobacco products, and thus aid public health. Pretty much none of the articles mention that Juul and other vaping companies make their money by attracting countless new people to nicotine addiction.

Well maybe it's because Juul bought the journal or maybe the researchers found no correlation between Juul's profits and public health.
Yes, but does Sinhala hase the linguistic structure of Dravidian languages or not?
The first goal in the Croatia-Spain match was pretty properly an own goal.
True. But suppose you had no vaccines, then roughly the same mutations will play out whether the epidemic lasts a week or a year.

It definitely seems soccer is becoming more and more efficient. The games of the EM in particular feel like watching one brick wall against another, goals mostly happening by sheer brute force and stacking probabilities in ones favor. May be it's just imagination, but I think in the past there used to be more fun, elegant plays. Kinda reminds me of online games when a meta has settled and at the highest level everything is purely optimized for winning.
This is a good essay that is worth reading, if you haven’t done so already https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/
The 2015 MBP was definitely the peak. Normal USB ports, an HDMI port, the non-terrible keyboard, and no touch pad. I basically just want this with modern hardware (not just GPU/CPU/RAM etc, but webcam/mic/speakers have improved significantly, and I'd want a couple of USB-C ports).

I remember back in 2016 that some coworkers said that the new keyboard had ruined their life. I've not heard anything that strong about the touchbar but I don't know a single person who likes it and everyone seems to dislike it to some extent. Perhaps them ditching it will be the thing that gets me to check out silicon.
Well, it probably _could_ do "good enough". If a set of matches gets too large/hairy it could just output a "here be dragons" warning and go ahead with compiling it, no?

That may not count as a correct Rust compiler though, I'm not 100% sure how that's defined, or if it is.
Sounds like if anything we can chill out. Or was your point not to highlight that the technology is even useful beyond just catching school shooters? Seriously, this mission creep concern is just preaching to the choir for easy attention. No one who was fine with surveillance tech before is going to change their mind after hearing it turned out to be more helpful than imagined at solving problems.
I believe the questionable rationale there is that it helps to identify suspended students whose presence is assumed to be dangerous.

“The mission creep issue is a real concern when you initially build out a system to find that one person who’s been suspended and is incredibly dangerous, and all of a sudden you’ve enrolled all student photos and can track them wherever they go[.]”
It's a pity because holding and sliding the Touchbar to change the volume and brightness using the touch bar is much faster and more accurate than pressing buttons N times.

There's a lot of good customisation options for the Touchbar if you use a third party tool like BetterTouchTool. It's Apple's loss to not give the user full control of it in the first place.
This story is a nice read if you wanted to read a comedy.. YouTube should improve, or maybe there is something the content creator can do if can prove losses as a result of YouTube incompetence?
Deploying multiple smaller telescopes was one of the designs that was considered in the 90s for what eventually became the JWT.

I'm not an expert on any of this, and I don't know specifically why it was rejected, but it's not like people aren't thinking about all sorts of possibilities. Usually there's a reason they're not being done though.
Well, teams are allowed 5 substitutions rather than the usual 3 because many European competitions were extended (and hence close to the Cup) due to Covid, so possibly that played a role?
> I agree with your point about distributed consensus in general, but there isn't really a single authoritative history of linux, there are tons of important forks simultaneously maintained.

What does that have to do with blockchain? Is bittorrent to you "blockchain for downloads" just because it's decentralized and has hashes?
Okay, well I'd say that picking such a broad definition for worship and building a case on this idiosyncratic use of it feels like a stretch to me. At least it seems it can't really be used in a context where the normal definitions of worship, beliefs and meaning would be used like what I spoke of in my parent comment.

So I'd consider that quote was effectively pulled out of context.
it's unfair to call it unpaid, if you are sharing future benefits.
Looks like 4 MB of Perl. What's a good string to search for?
I have followed the story of e-cigarettes and can only say it's eye opening, its probably very symptomatic to how things are done. It went from innovators and communities to being large enough that the cigarette companies responded by a smear campaign, disinformation and panic, that was then used to regulate in a way that benefited only the cigarette companies. What a transparently corrupt world we live in.
Didn’t U.S pharma companies used to sell drugs overseas that is banned on U.S soil? I don’t know if that is still the case.

While collecting data like fingerprints etc is bad, collecting DNA is on whole another level. Imagine using it for immigration purposes for example. Or the govt makes you get a license to have kids (like marriage license today) based on DNA traits. These things might sound comical today, but the social score thing sounded comical too, until it became a reality
There isn't any of this here though: it just operates on the assumption that the GPL applies.
If I sold this tech, I'd sell it at a loss or give it away for free to a few users, then make some paid astroturfing in neighboring districts with complaints that "security is better at school X that has installed system Y" and after that I'd expect orders from everyone.
Cynic mode: You can't handle it the boring way because nobody is funding boring solutions. We already know those won't make you a billionaire overnight.
Although I'm a heavy Emacs user, I never understood why is magit so praised.

IMHO, source control just doesn't belong to IDE. Why learn how to use git with Emacs/magit, vim, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Visual Studio / Code, ... when you can just master the official command line client and forget about the rest? It's available and usable everywhere, while each of these IDE plugins is different and one need to learn and get used to all of them.
Rust's type system is undecidable. You can see a few languages listed here: https://3fx.ch/typing-is-hard.html
Really, most of the world and the biggest risk to world peace? I have been lucky enough not only to live and work abroad on 4 continents now including working directly for a non-American government and I think that claim is totally bunk.

As for the US completely ignoring rules that it claims to uphold, I strongly disagree as you can see by WTO rulings that are unfavorable to the US. If you want to argue that the US set these organizations up post-WWII and they're unfairly supportive of the US I can agree with that but a blanket statement like yours is just incorrect.
Scientism has become the state religion and companies are paying for indulgences.

At least they made it open access. At first I thought they bought out the entire issue so that people couldn't read it.
I ran a survey in 2017 and found that around 0.1% of the DNS servers we poked at would negotiate TFO and of those around 94% were Google's. It might be interesting to take another look at the deployment numbers at some point.

Thanks. Can't say I'm surprised of developers not including relevant links on their readme page.
No. Despite not being recognised as such by FIFA, this is clearly an own goal. Even at the time people were surpised by FIFAs decision

"It is hard to define the reasoning behind Fifa's decision to award England's opening goal to Rio Ferdinand since he headed David Beckham's corner away from the net before Thomas Sorensen fumbled the ball back over the line. That was an own-goal and no argument."

It can be hard to find an automotive shop with a working OBD1 interface and emissions setup. Luckily that's no longer an issue in some places.

Certain replacement fluorescent ballasts are already hard to find, and that will only accelerate as LEDs replace other fixtures.

Computer-designed flat and microantennas with interesting geometry seem capable of replacing much bigger antennas. Maybe the shape of TV antennas for sale shows that's already complete in consumer electronics.
It doesn't prevent all mass shootings, no. It may improve police response times, or if there is an officer at the school it may alert him. Improving police reaction time may save lives.

It could also sound a warning for the school so that students could preemptively run or hide. Imagine this system hooked into the lighting and lights in the immediate vicinity of the shooter could turn a dangerous red, yellow nearby and green along routes that would escape the shooter. Students could evacuate more easily if they could trust that system. Another innovation might be strobe lights that could focus on the attacker to disorient and distract him.

I think there's a huge responsibility to such technology and much danger to it, but there are potential uses.
Register allocation is a great example of over-theorisation. People found that register allocation can be expressed as graph colouring, so they doubled-down and worked really hard to solve that pure problem, but then it turned out you can just do a very simple linear allocation heuristic and the generated code is basically as fast as solving the NP-hard problem.

> People love Google. It's only behind Apple as a brand people love.

Stepping back: what is the definition of "love" here, and do you have some data to back this up? I think you might be conflating brand awareness with brand loyalty or "brand love", because while Google is basically in the English lexicon for searching on a search engine now an it has a really high brand awareness I don't think I've ever heard people say they "love" Google or anything along those lines, while I have heard sentiments like this for an Apple product.

Why? What changed in your view?
This ends up in some discussion about what "compiling" actually means. Is macroexpanding a part of "compiling"?

Most languages with complex type systems avoid Turing completeness by having an explicit limit for all type level expansions - at least, that is how Java and C# do it.
I agree. Bought a USB-based one from Aliexpress for 10 EUR last year.
It took lots of practice to master though, and I had to be extremely cautious during the first few months. But it was worth the trouble. Never going to go back.
Yep, that's hard to attribute to an attacker with maximum effort, so should count as one of those extremely rare own goals. My guess (without having seen all the games) is that it's just 1-2 in the tournament, and that the figure historically has been just 0..2 as well. What would stand out would be if there were 4-5 such goals in a tournament. Not that there is a dozen of the "defender own-goals from the goal-line" type.

9AM to 9PM 6 days a week matches what the US went through during the Industrial revolution. The one child policy has been replaced with three children.

Also the article doesn't speak about any of it being censored. The fact a commenter in state media said "this is shameful" is not censorship. The fact it's hard to find T-shirts with the meme also isn't censorship, unless we have evidence of someone trying to sell such T-shirts and being censored.

What you say is a great example of how you can take some half-truths and spin them into a propaganda narrative. You just want to make sure China looks bad, for some reason. No shades of gray in this country with over a billion people. All fits into a simple narrative, doesn't it?

In the western world, young people often need two jobs just to survive. No they don't have houses either. Laying down and memeing online is often not even an option, censorship or not. Why do we need to villify China about a problem that's literally world-wide? Does it simply feel better to know someone is worse out there?
I think most people expect their mail provider to not read their mail, of course compromises are made to filter spam etc.

But I think it is still important that mails qualify as confidential communication, even with all its limitations. That has been clearly removed by this legislation.

And you can argue that companies are indeed forced to scan mails, it depends a bit on their business, but many might feel indeed be forced to take such a measure to not get left behind. As I said, depends on the business.

And the title is correct to the letter. The parliament did approve mass surveillance for private mail. Maybe use another word like sanction, but it fits the

Perhaps it is a bit dishonest, because it can be read wrong and that might be the case in most instances, but that is sadly how things are often framed today.
I guess it shows the death of the traditional computer(or PC as it's called) and the rise of smartphone.
Different "modular", but it came to mind: years back I saw a paper proposing a modular medical training regime for India, intending to make it reentrant and incremental commitment. Core observation was there's overlap between training say a community health worker and a nurse, an advanced nurse and a doctor, an optometrist and an ophthalmologist. So rather than having training streams diverge early, there'd be courses in common. And rather than having to restart from scratch if switching streams, or returned from profession to school to upgrade, you could place out of parts. Sort of like US layered nursing credentials, but writ larger. Hypothesized societal benefits included lower latency demand-response, easier/faster scaling, and greater equity.

Imagine if modular, rather than pipeline, was the default societal approach to structuring education?

(A personal aside: I'm interested in exploratory discussion of transformative improvement of preK-13 science content/progressions/interactives, using extreme domain expertise and SER mashups. Science and engineering are a richly interwoven interdisciplinary tapestry - what if they were taught like that? If anyone knows of settings for such discussion, I'd love to hear of it - thanks!

In general I agree, but one thing I've never learned is resolving merge conflicts in the CLI. I've always just used IDEA's merge resolution tools. Does CLI git provide any tools to help with merging?
Ask HN: Who is at risk from the PrintNightmare RCE?
Microsoft released an emergency patch and stated that the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild. All the news articles describing the RCE are implying that any internet-connected computer running Windows is at risk. This can't possibly be true, can it? My question is: does the PrintNightmare RCE (CVE-2021-34527) require a privileged position, such as a Windows user account, or at least local network access? I'm assuming regular consumer routers do not expose random ports to the internet.
I have had to go to a doctor only once because of impacted wax. He did pretty much the same thing. He used a massive copper syringe for the task. The only thing he did differently than the video was using cotton swabs to immediately dry the ear canal. It was painful, but he said leaving the region wet can lead to infections. I don't trust untrained people to use swabs in the sensitive regions of the canal.

Anyway, for home cleaning, 3% H2O2 or baby oil have been working well enough ever since.

> What is influencing my reasoning is not bias. You support free market policies that encourage wealth inequality.

The fact that your first guess is that free markets allowed me to lift myself out of poverty may mean you're more pro free market economies than you realise :)
I was under the impression that cases where it would matter are typically code that wouldn't usually be written. E.g. C# and Java also can solve SAT as part of overload resolution with generic types and it's an interesting peculiarity, but not a pattern that is interesting enough to optimize. Perhaps that's the case here as well.

I could also imagine the compiler code being easy to read, understand and modify are often more valuable traits than compilation speed of highly atypical patterns in a language. But that may well depend on how atypical those are.

Less rest between seasons due to COVID.

For example, the English Premier League this year finished on 23rd May and starts again on 13th August (82 days rest). Last year, teams played 9-10 games between the COVID resumption on 19th June and league finish on 26th July. There were then just 48 days rest until the next season started on 12th September 2020.

The continental competitions (Champions League and Europa League) were also played during August 2020 meaning many players at top clubs had next to zero break between the two seasons. This has all had a knock-on effect to this tournament. I'm actually surprised there haven't been more injuries.

P.s. Small nitpick but the "European Cup" is the aforementioned Champions League trophy which is contested by the top club teams in Europe. The current international tournament is the European Championships or Euros.
