Sill trying to wrap my head around how Scailer organizes email messages by groups. Bit of a challenge for me!

I noticed as I was clicking down the Group icons on the left side that if a group had messages in it, the right hand view pane would automatically fill with with the top email message in that group. But when a group was empty, the right hand pane did not display an empty pane. It just leaves the pane showing the last email viewed. I think the pane should go blank if the group is empty.
I doubt it, since in academia there are two gods, Word and LaTeX. It is very rare to find journals/conferences who don't specify one template or the other (with the possible exception of ACM, who are a law unto themselves). TexMacs might be OK for final preparation of camera-ready PDFs but by that point you're already invested in Word/LaTeX so there's no point switching typesetter.
Yup. Most criminals aren't masterminds. Fuck - most of them don't even take basic steps to cover their tracks. That includes people with big bank rolls occasionally.
> Transactions made using cryptocurrencies can provide more anonymity to senders and recipients of money

Well, yes, providing you use something like Monero. We all should know by now that Bitcoin has a transparent ledger and your kids in 20 years time will probably be able to see what you spent your Bitcoin on.
> Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease in unvaccinated hosts.

The journal you reference studies Marek's disease in chicken. The vaccine does not prevent transmission (which farmers found good enough). As such, all vaccinated chicken can get the virus but dont get sick and still transmit it.

That is irrlevant since, its a study on chicken, with a vaccine that wouldn't be approved for humans. Also all vaccines stop transmission with 90-95% or less for poorer vaccines (you are 95% less likely to catch it)

All the study shows is the need to vaccinate everyone and extinguish the virus same as polio before it evolves.

As for difficulty distributing vaccines in Africa. Where there's a need people will figure out a way.
Whenever law enforcement snags a "major haul", be it illicit cash or substances or arms or anything else, I guess I focus on its physical size as the thing that makes it impressive -- and worthy of tallying up records and high scores. The bigger the stash, the harder it is to hide, after all.

So when the haul is something like this -- without direct physical scale, which could fit in anyone's pocket regardless of its volume -- it doesn't have the same wow factor for me. But I feel like it should!

The Sun has a mass of about 2x10^30 kg. 4 orders of magnitude smaller would be 2x10^26 kg which is somewhere between the mass of Saturn and Neptune.

So turn one of those into energy and you're good to go.
To show that the male gaze is MORE important than female speech, you have to show that there's actually a tradeoff happening. AWS hosting porn doesn't degrade their ability to also host important feminist content.

Why does the existence of porn subs degrade the value of feminist subs?
I've been a fan of mint-lang; although it's early, it's clearly intended to be like Elm: The Good Parts. Also fearing a small but helpful community that welcomes contributions, which is the polar opposite of my experience with Elm.
Sometimes, I feel like Apache foundation is like Thanos, collecting all the distributed engines and watch the IT world burn.

From the beginning, Heron was envisioned as a new kind of stream processing system, built to meet the most demanding of technological requirements, to handle even the most massive of workloads, and to meet the needs of organizations of all sizes and degrees of complexity. Amongst these requirements:

The ability to process billions of events per minute
Extremely low end-to-end latency
Predictable behavior regardless of scale and in the face of issue like extreme traffic spikes and pipeline congestion
Simple administration, including:
The ability to deploy on shared infrastructure
Powerful monitoring capabilities
Fine-grained configurability
Easy debuggability

I can't wait for my next startup interview. We have a requirement of 25 messages per hour, with 10KB per message, you think you can build the ingestion pipeline using Kafka and MongoDB on a 10 node M5d.24xlarge cluster?

I will assume that you meant Free Software Movement instead of the Open Source one, as people easily confuse these two.
I agree how conflicting FSM with RTR would be detrimental to the actual possibility of implementation. However, Free Software Movement actually goes hand in hand with Right to Repair - both are about the basic right to own and control your own device.

Luis Rossmann even (maybe non-intentionally) touched on it in a recent video and said that's it's unacceptable for manufacturers to block bootloaders on their devices, restricting you from the type of OS you can run. That's strictly a Free Software Movement issue and not necessarily a Right to Repair issue.

Right to Repair is basically hardware equivalent to FSM. You can even think about it as such - one is fighting for your right to repair your own device and the other for your right to repair software on that device. Obviously, that's a major simplification and there are many other implications in both movements, but they're both set on the same set of principles.

That's why a big part of the Free Software community is using old thinkpads - they have the freedom to run whatever software they want (as they don't have Intel Management Engine) AND the right to repair and modify the actual hardware (those devices are a joy to open and repair).

I also believe that companies should provide hardware schematics with their devices and customers should be able to repair them and modify them using these. As for the "copy" part, I don't quite get what you mean. What exactly did you mean by copy?

Is a device with one part changed/repaired is a copy? Is a device build completely out of parts got from other, damaged devices is a copy?

Because if you meant that you can't just use the schematics to build and sell a device based on them as your own, original device then that's obvious. Copying a device and selling it as your own creation is just fraud and absolutely not the kind of thing that FSM is fighting for. It's a common strawman argument used by the FSM opposers though.

I hope that Scihub will continue to exist. There are a lot of important papers that have been published in traditional journals. Scientific work is generally based on previous work.

I thought Peloton bikes don't go anywhere.
My family and I raise all of our own meat and have for many generations going back as long as anyone remembers. I suppose as all things it depends on the specific character and personality of the animal. Many mamas I know of goat, pig, bird species want nothing to do with their babies once they quickly get them taught how to graze and finally off their teats. Others grow attached to their kids and definitely go through separation anxiety if they're separated (don't think it's any easier for your parents once you freely leave the home nest). None the less, I and many of my farming friends (certainly not all) do not treat the animals or plants as property. We treat them as good friends. In fact, they are my best friends, as I spend more time with them than I do anyone else. They live good long lives on high quality soil/pasture/hay/rain water, and eventually we eat them. I don't feel regret or pain at this, though I do miss them as I would all my family members or friends that have passed. I only feel joy and the deepest appreciation, that my best friends gave their lives so my family can live theirs. I feel the same way about all the plants I grow and kill, just so we're clear. I think it's about time we stopped pretending that plants are "lesser" than human or other animal intellectually. It's a false premise.
I know you pulled it out of your ass, but your thought on the uncertainty principle and black holes is actually intriguing. A wave function that is fully localized in momentum space (as in has one definite momentum) has to be maximally spread in position space (as in its possible positions are diluted to the point of being everywhere so the odds of observing it anywhere are effectively zero).

IIRC some quantum properties like uncertainty have funny ways of being preserved in relativity. They pop out of the equations as unexpectedly nice coincidences, but they feel to good to be true. Like they clearly hint at some profound truth, but its on the tip of everyone's tongue yet no one can grab it.

I vaguely recall certain types of entanglement change in an interesting way under the Lorentz transform (don't hold me to that).
One question from a Junior Dev or any dev for that matter with multiple possible outcomes depending:

Q: Hi <insert dev name here>, say, why are you asking in my review if the class I introduced is really necessary?

Answer from the Paranoia Distroya.

PD: (Without taking their eyes from the screen or their hands off the keyboard). What is exactly the reason for the class?
You: Refactor common functionality.
PD: Well, long pause while typing really fast, that common functionality may change.
You: May?
PD: (long pause) I'll take a another look....
You leave after an awkward silence, next day your check-in is reverted and a new check in from PD has the module updated and the comment in the

Answer from Mr. Rogers.

MR: See, base classes are like like a regular class but they are also special. They provide an added layer of encapsulation.
You: So....
MR: I tell you what, lets go to your desk and I'll help you work on the base class and update the code with something that is much
better, then we will update your review and having it all tied up before lunch.
You and Mr. Rogers sit with you and tells what to change while he proselytize on the amazing powers of some editor. You try not to sight. He approves

You don't hear back from MFFAW, during scrum you ask again what to do about the code review, MFFAW gets the story assigned and
the review is closed. The code is checked in. A week later MFFAW updates the code and the base class you added is gone.

Take away: Ask questions; be ready to roll with the punches.
Gets too close to notifications.

They're generally looking for things that cause slightly lower entropy in the comment speed, I think, but this is an interesting exception.
The peloton is the main group of riders in bike races.

Riders will usually spend most if the race in groups for efficiency and rest: most of the group will be drafting and only the front edge will be fighting against headwind.

The largest such group (usually containing the majority of the riders) is the peloton.
Oh, is this that "next-gen Storm" project that Twitter built? Seems like they've finally given it to Apache, like they did with Storm after buying the company that built it.

Based on a quick Wikipedia skim, looks like the answer is "yes". That explains this bullet point:

> Heron is API compatible with Apache Storm and hence no code change is required for migration.
20+ years as some level of engineer. I’m a fan of code review culture. Tip: No matter junior or senior you are, NEVER be afraid or embarrassed to say you are having trouble understanding something and then figure out where that trouble is coming from.
Keyboard logging, located the key paper on paper or a pc, seized from exchange, or cracked whatever wallet software they where using seems more likely than cracking the encryption or beating it out of the suspects. Really the more time you spend around people actually using crypto coins the less secure they seem. It’s clearly possible to be secure, but many people are doing the equivalent of stuffing their mattress with cash.
The peloton is the main group of riders. They all share the same time, even if they're spread out 50-100m.
It is massive compared to Google's revenue in France, but Google can pay for the fine using its global revenue. Imagine if you ran 100 lemonode stands and one of them gets fined 1/3rd of its revenue. So you basically got fined 1/300th of your total revenue. It is a blip.

>Second you’re looking at revenue from all sources, and here we’re taking about links just to news sites

Although I do not think it is relevant for my point, it is worth saying that Google was not fined for "links to news sites", it was fined for failing to comply with a regulatory order to enter negotiations withs news orgs and come to an agreement within three months (paraphrasing). Basically it is being schooled by French authorities in a display of power (curiously, France as a country is 'only' 10x more powerful than Google, economically speaking).

What IMO is massive about this though, are the potential future implications for Google at its scale, if this becomes a trend and other types of websites 'unionize' around the 'snippet attribution' or a similar idea.

Water Resistance Tester App
I don't think most US software engineers are going to fair any worse than anyone else, honestly. If you have one of these $300-400k TC jobs the HN folks act like grow on trees, you're unlikely to be replaced by someone responding to a RemoteOK job add because they're mostly hiring people local, and people with huge online followings/internet-famous dev types. If you make $115k for a bank and got your last 3 jobs from recruiters and LinkedIn, you're equally unlikely for different reasons.

The middle area filled with $200k/yr consultants will probably hurt a bit, but I'm not sure they haven't been competing with that group already.

What Is Congress’s Plan to Crack Down on Big Tech?
Yes, you have to get a driver's license and also register your car. If that isn't asking for permission then I don't know. Although it's a stretch to assume this permission includes self driving cars.
Indirectly. Google places advertisments next to those links (that nowadays look exactly like those links) so we know there is a certain monetary value to every click. If HN sold ad links, and had a scale near google's, i'm sure it would be a candidate to be sued under the same laws too.

These laws are bandaids of course, but the argument that these newspapers "They get extra visibility + traffic clicks" is moot these days - what will they do with that visibility? Would be cool if visibility amounted to advertising money, but google also controls the ad market and the ad money that they make is not sustainable.

US publications have (by now) solved this by shutting down or installing paywalls. But that doesnt work in EU where GDP is at least 30% lower and the local language audience is a fraction of the english audience. It is an untenable situation, and the fact that google can keep paying fine after fine but keep working in the continent is proof that the market is captured in an unsustainable vortex.

So there are going to be a few ways out of this:

- Countries/EU keep fining google for a few years , a solution that is going nowhere

- Google will have to introduce news payments programs in EU / australia etc that pay well

- Google is forced out of the market via protectionism in order to foster local solutions like China and Russia do

- Or publishers themselves will collectively create a rival service for news that pays per click a-la spotify, and remove themselves from google

Here's my anecdote to counter your anecdote. When I try to explain stuff like this to my family members, they barely humor me. Their eyes glaze over. They think I'm crazy. My sister-in-law works in marketing so she's kind of aware of it but has made zero changes to her behavior. Other friends tell me they get more benefit than cost and accept it.

It's a pity it's called "TeXmacs" when, as you say, it really has no connection to TeX (except the ability to typeset mathematics).

Another alternative is LyX, which actually does use LaTeX. Even that is not really a "LaTeX editor" though: it produces/exports excellent LaTeX, and uses that for typesetting, but does pretty poorly at importing LaTeX (as the developers freely admit). Depending on your situation that may or may not be a problem: if you just have to give a journal the final result in LaTeX then you can use LyX to produce it, but if you want to collarboratively work on a paper with someone else who wants to use raw LaTeX then it wouldn't be suitable. I wrote my masters thesis, course notes, and PhD thesis in LyX and would strongly recommend it - although it's a GUI I would argue it has a stronger learning curve than raw LaTeX, but leaves you more productive in the end.
Automated Accessibility Testing for Svelte Apps Using Axe and GitHub Actions
I work for a company that could greatly benefit from an out-of-the-box distributed stream processing engine (we've been rolling our own for over a decade). At this point, it's pretty much impossible to pick one. All similar Apache tools have similar looking web pages, promising similar benefits, similar use cases, etc. What are the differentiating factors? At which point does it make sense to pick Heron over one of the others? Or vice versa?

There aren't a lot of places that use anaerobic digesters (fermenting waste to methane) to treat wastewater. Anheuser-Busch does it at their breweries because their wastewater is particularly rich. If more municipalities built those at their wastewater treatment plants, then it would be a sizeable amount of carbon-neutral fuel. There are already 1200 municipal wastewater treatment plants in the US that do this according to the EPA, but there are many major cities that do not. https://www.epa.gov/anaerobic-digestion/types-anaerobic-dige...
Honestly, it's nothing alike. Refactoring in Elm is different, as the compiler will tell you if you did the correct thing when refactoring. The typescript compiler can only do a fraction of that, even if you type your stuff correctly.

Needing to type stuff in elm is mostly optional too. The compiler will still check it for you anyway.
