Its amazing how people endlessly talk about Germany but ignore all the other cases where Union are far less positive. How about we talk about how Venezuela Union bosses. How about the US car workers union being an endless pit of corruption.

Switzerland is next to Germany, and has almost no union and there is not so much difference in overall standard of living and how workers are treated.

The idea that Unions are this universal good and talking negative about them is simply being anti-worker pro-capitalist exploitation is a tiered talking point.
Do with Docker available for ARM architecture, that means it will work with no emulation layer needed. Or am I missing something?
Insofar as they know everything anyone downloads from Github, sure.
Manual Testing Made Easy
Pragmatically speaking, you're right. Something needs to keep the lights on. Further, even if they did not set Google as the default search engine, surely many users would configure Firefox as such.

The browser isn't compromised, but their principles are. When you compromise your principles or apply them very selectively, you lose credibility and authenticity.

A fitting example of this is their Facebook container. They have poured a lot of resources into minimizing the potential harm Facebook can do to its users. They totally can, as they have no dependency on Facebook at all. Yet no similar effort is made to isolate Google services.

Again, we know why. Most users are unlikely to care, but it demonstrates that principles are for sale. If we were to focus on privacy only, both Brave and Apple take a far more principled approach in protecting privacy consistently. So where does this leave Mozilla on this matter?

Brave is basically the result of the firing of Brendan Eich, for his private donation to a cause rejecting gay marriage. You can think of that what you want, but there is zero evidence of him ever projecting this private belief in the workplace in any way harmful to anybody at all.

But I get it, it looks bad for a progressive organization like Mozilla. A PR disaster.

Their progressive image indeed largely seems PR. For example, they've had a series of large layoff rounds, whilst at the same time drastically increasing executive compensation. You have to wonder where this compensation is based on, as leadership is running Mozilla into the ground. Market share keeps bleeding and there's zero alternative successful revenue streams.

That's classic neoliberalism. Firing workers whilst enriching yourself. At the same time, they are involved in "equity" projects to address the issue of some people unable to afford internet access.

This is all very confusing. Principles are sold out, contradicted, and only seem to apply to others. That's why to me, Mozilla's "values" have little value.

A Firefox user does not need to care about any of this, but here comes the problem: Mozilla is downscaling on Firefox engineering whilst increasing their more activist/political projects.

How is that strategy not a disaster? They're great at engineering yet terrible at activism.
Exactly. I have one screen and I am nearly always working in full screen. My mac is often muted at the same time. Like that I am able to miss many calls because MS Teams shows the notifications on a space which I am not using. This would be no issue if they used system notifications.
My current workplace is one such case of union killing a theoretically profitable company so I really am speaking from experience - the only reason the workplace still exists today is because after it went bankrupt it was bought out by an outsider who discarded the union part. Ironically it turned out to be for the best for both the company as a whole and the actual workers.

Just because you don't hear of it - or don't want to hear of it - doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Well said. Try quitting work and indulging those activities for a while. I don't think of myself as a particularly boring person. I love bike touring, and I live in a foreign country with all kinds of interesting places, food and culture to explore, yet doing it months on end I started to question whether _this_ was what all my hard work in years past was meant for. Did I save up all this money and liberate myself for this particular stroll around the neighborhood to take pictures? It felt unsettling.

I've been thinking about this all day, and I realized another experience it gives me similar feelings to. at 15 I absolutely hated public high school. I had been alt-schooled (home schooled, unschooled, something like that) up until 9th grade. After one year in regular school, learning at a mind numbing pace, I knew with conviction that I just wanted to finish school and get on with life, so I withdrew and enrolled in the local night school. I blew through classes and would have graduated in no time, but something started gnawing at me. I could finish school for the day at my own pace and then leave, but to do what? After leaving regular high school, my classmates were mostly troubled kids, or people trying to get their life back on track by getting a diploma. I fairly quickly realized that I was going to miss out on being in the rat race of high school for 4 years, and went back to regular school halfway through the school year.
I agree that long poll is better than websockets, but even better than long poll is comet stream = the long connection sends chunks when events occur.

Greenwald: The secret services are spying on politicians with oversight roles
Microsoft‘s UX incompetence to market dominance ratio continues to baffle me. I’ve pretty much settled on blaming this on MS winning some race to first OS/Office software useable enough for mass adoption and just forcing all the rest since. If you think of productivity hours destroyed because of Excel quirks and Windows rebooting at the worst possible time, this is maybe the most damage a monopoly has ever done to the economy. But the people who had the power to stop this probably use Word and own Microsoft stock. We’re stuck.
It's exactly as you sugggest/doubt - in audio hardware you use potentiometers (the thing under the knob that has different resistance depending on the rotation) that are designed to have logarithmic scale.
You mean the video with penn and teller?

They're arguing about the placement of a comma: which is exactly my point. I guess you havent understood my point.

The constitution does not verbatim say "you have an individual right to own and use weapons".

It says, "given the necessity of a millitia".

If you whole argument depends on arguing over a comma, then it's pretty clear, there is no "hypocrisy" one way or another. The whole thing is a matter of interpretation.
Would it be possible as an alternative to remote editing to use the VM's "Shared folder" functionality?
Running an heavy IDE like IntelliJ inside a VM when you could also run it in the outer OS seems like stretching this setup beyond what is meant for.
We had "cookie laws" when DNT was created, too.
IMO column stagger is much superior to an ortholinear, as it matches with the different finger lenghts. I like aggressive pinky stagger like the Kyria or the Ferris but ortholinear just feels weird.

You can make ortholinear work as well, but then you'd have to angle your hands quite a bit, but that's only ergonomic if you have a split board, and even then I personally didn't like it.
Nice.

I would note that Java is designed to run untrusted code, so fat pointers would be unacceptable as the attacker could easily craft the code required to trigger the race. Go does not claim to provide sandboxing of untrusted programs.
There are many problems with that. For one there are security issues. There was an article just recently on HN that reported a large attack, exploiting the invasive nature of these tools. Secondly they are useless. Third, they are inhumane and show that there is a severe lack of human connection trust in these work environments.

Also, it is not strictly "their" device in every case. There are firms that require freelancers/contractors to do the same on their device.

This kind of behavior is a huge red flag, but too many juniors otherwise naive or desperate workers tolerate it.
PICO in TinyPICO stands for PICO-D4, the ESP32 variant used on the board.

There is! We initially targeted WebGL for greatest reach and least dev and testing effort (we're only a 2-man team!)

That being said provided your browser support WebGL 2.0 you should be able to get this working ok :)
Redpanda [1] is fantastic if you want a solid Kafka clone. It's written in C++, with no external dependencies; it has Raft consensus built in. The API is Kafka-compatible.

There are some missing features compared to Kafka (no dynamic rebalancing of partitions being the top one), but they're also rolling out some new features that Kafka does not have, such as transformation pipelines [2].

NATS's brand new JetStream [3] feature is also looking very promising. It uses Raft internally. NATS itself is rock solid, and JetStream builds on that foundation.

NATS also has very interesting support replication topologies, meaning you can build graphs of streams that each feed in other streams, so you can do the publishing and consumption in different locations, with different availability constraints.

So how did they get the search history and screenshot taken shown as evidence?
> This is why unions get trounced in votes by real workers, things like Prop 22 pass with easy margins, etc.

I think it also has to do with the massive discrepancy in resources pro and anti-union advocates are able to put towards those races. Uber and Lyft invested massively in defeating prop 22, even advertising in their app directly.
That FUD is unwarranted. No bank is going to be kicked off it’s infrastructure. Bringing up Parler seems completely irrelevant.
Much more common than you would expect coming from a traditional package manager, since Nix freely allows multiple versions of packages to coexist. E.g., many folks run a stable release of NixOS but install select user packages from unstable, while most development environment and packaging scenarios will pin to a specific commit of nixpkgs.

Nevertheless, there is an alternative CLI that infers "nixpkgs" when omitted, but I can't seem to find it right now.
In Switzerland many professions have a GAV (initiated by unions) with strong worker protection.
>nor are as influenceable by propaganda as one might think

People don't notice the propaganda that works on them. Indeed, many go as far as to unknowingly make it part of their identity.

People only notice the propaganda that doesn't work on them.

>paternalistic left

Realistically there is no organized left left - paternalistic or otherwise. There are two competing corporate factions, each as paternalistic as the other.
I'm confused, "use SMTP" doesn't even type-check for me. Isn't SMTP just a transfer protocol? Meaning it defines a bunch of commands and gives them meanings (like EHLO and DATA and such), just like how HTTP defines commands like GET and POST and all that? Isn't the problem here about e.g. the storage & retry logic rather than about the data transfer itself? Can't you retry transmission as frequently as you like using whatever protocol you like? How does transferring the data over SMTP gain you anything compared to HTTP?
Can you not with the clickbait patterns?

Actual title - why fast replication protocols are slow
Try this. Last thing at the end of the workday, write yourself a context save. Jot three to five sentences about where you are, what's in your head. If you do it right, the next morning you can brief yourself and jump right back into it. And in-between, not need to hold it in your head, grinding away in the background.
They already are by selling privacy as a "feature".
OTOH...
I kinda assumed outlining was awesome for taking notes and jumped on the Roam (and Logseq) hype train, but recently noticed how "thinking" with free text works better in most cases. Markdown lists in Obsidian/VsCode when lists are really needed.a
NATS JetStream is very different, implementation-wise, from NATS Streaming. The latter is deprecated and no longer under development.

JetStream is impressive and looks very promising. I did some stress testing recently and found some performance issues and possible bugs, but I wouldn't hesitate to put it into production.
You're right, it's the biggest challenge. But a ton of companies do now have something like Anaconda in their official software catalogue and sometimes even an internal mirror of PyPI or anaconda.org for the packages.

Having different iteration constructs or having multiple versions of the same was not untypical on a Lisp Machine, which booted into a single Lisp runtime, but which contained several different Lisp dialects and their language constructs. That way one did not need to reboot the computer to use a different LOOP variant - because the Lisp image was shared in the OS.

The LOOP code you mentioned came from MIT and Symbolics from the 70s/80s, when multiple Lisp dialects were under use and sometimes, on a Lisp Machine, in the same runtime. The original MIT LOOP implementation had a single source code, which could be loaded into different Lisp dialects and systems.

The CL standardization of LOOP was more than ten years later.

While I don't like the economic resource discrepancy in that case, there was mutually dirty fighting.. the ballot language on Prop 22 by the AG was what I would consider literal propaganda. What they lack in economic resources, they make up for in political power via bureaucratic control.
And nulls. It’s frustrating that Go programs crash so often with code the compiler allowed.
Incentives indeed matter, and incentives could change quickly once volume and value of Apple's collected data reach a critical point. But no one will be able to take their data back.
It won't. Every day fits too easily in your head, a discrete block of time that whizzes by. Unless every day you can get really, really deeply into something that suspends time for you.
The EU like Bezos didnt care about it much while their empires expanded.

The "enlightenment" happened only after their arms race to colonize the planet ended in world wars.

Learning takes time.

Emporer Bezos is thankfully a tad smarter than the Kings and Queens of the EU and his road to "enlightenment" will be much shorter with less devastation and trauma.

I just hope, after they learn their lessons, the Amazon corporate robots will be less sanctimonious than present day Europeans.

How many completely different browsers exist? And how many local exploitable user to root exploits exist in the Apple/Linux/BSD world's? If your a valued target and you are connected to a network you WILL be hacked.
They're in no danger of running out of people to employ. Social safety nets are too weak and economic conditions for the poor are too precarious that there are plenty of people willing to endure abusive conditions for a paycheck. The high turnover rate only ensures that they end up employing the most desperate and vulnerable.
I think that video was not correct then or they talked about something else because Boeing has outsourced critical parts whenever necessary at least since the 80s. I think the parts came mainly from Germany and Japan but I'd have to look it up.
Isn't the existence of Amazon's current practices a sign of the market not correcting anything ?

The fact remains, Bellingcat are funded in ways that we could expect to compromise their journalism. The IEEE article doesn't mention any of that and only mentions the Kickstarter.
> If I understand correctly it's mainly the effect of the moon's nodal precession [0] in combination with climate-change induced rising sea levels.

Sea level rise since 1995 has averaged 3.4 mm per year[1].

Is there an expectation that this will accelerate significantly? or is a change in 30mm expected to contribute significantly to flooding?

I used Ghidra for the first time to hack my robot vacuum.

Some months later I used it to reverse engineer the on-board software of a satellite running on a SPARCv8 CPU. It worked great in both cases, can recommend.
>Decades of anti-union propaganda, sure, but also decades of self-serving, power-hungry, and occasionally outright corrupt organizations that do not serve the interests of workers.

in the USA unions are pretty shit IMO. Over here in austria, they bargain for ALL workers in that field. And that bargaining sets a minimum per law, which means that no matter if you are union or not, you can still bargain yourself into a better deal.
"STARTTLS is an email protocol command that tells an email server that an email client, including an email client running in a web browser, wants to turn an existing insecure connection into a secure one."

I'm sure absolutely nothing bad will come from that last bit. Oh look:

"And yes, STARTTLS is definitely less secure. Not only can it failback to plaintext without notification, but because it's subject to man-in-the middle attacks. Since the connection starts out in the clear, a MitM can strip out the STARTTLS command, and prevent the encryption from ever occurring."

If a researcher makes a novel vaccine with side effects even as tenth as bad as either long COVID or independently the death rate of COVID itself, I would expect the researchers to abandon it instead of wasting time attempting to start human trials.

I am aware many people simply don’t believe in the health impacts of COVID/long COVID, but that’s over optimism about the disease rather than pessimism[0] about the treatment.

[0] I also ought to have clarified: maximum rational pessimism, not conspiracy theories.

As I understood it, there are two issues, neither of which is a problem by itself, but if they occur simultaneously, it would not meet limit load requirements. But maybe CNN is reporting on another new issue - hard to tell.
These two tools have so much better websites as Ghidra. Thanks for putting the links!

That's awesome.

HN helped get me in touch with a startup in Hamburg, Germany about 3-years ago from the "Who is Hiring" monthly posts. The rest is history and I now live in Berlin with my wife and dogs and enjoy the EU a ton and my job (with a different company, but HN helped get me here).
I don't know how anyone could seriously hold the position that labor and corporate interests are on equal footing in any way. The history of the last 40 years in US labor relations has been a very consistent trend towards the consolidation of corporate power, alongside the erosion of labor's power.
This has been going on for a while and has nothing to do with AI or tech.

> Drug tests generally produce false-positive results in 5% to 10% of cases and false negatives in 10% to 15% of cases, new research shows.

Lots of innocent people were probably jailed because of that. Afaik, most countries still relies on these tests to at least detain people. The system will implement something (anything?) as long as it is "good enough" or appear to fix the problem.
It's interesting that when this topic rears its head a common attitude comes out (although is never outright stated):

* Governments are frequently corrupt and when they are they should be reformed.

* Businesses are frequently corrupt and when they are they should be reformed.

* Unions are frequently corrupt. They should therefore not exist.

Realistically corruption is a feature of all human institutions. Unions are special only insofar as they are institutions that threaten rather than defend the wealth of the American ruling classes.
I dont know how true this is, but as someone who's played WoW since vanilla, it has been heading downhill in terms of enjoyement for a while now.
There's clearly an antagonistic relationship between the developers and the player base. The devs have a vision for the game that doesnt really match what the players want. They keep doing things, like introducing a global cool down, borrowed power systems, never ending grinds for artifact power that players hate. During beta testing respected and experienced players kept passing warnings about aspects of the game they believed didnt work and were totally ignored by the devs. When the xpac when like the systems failed and were the disasters predicted and the devs then spent the next two patches trying to sort the failures out. As one well know wow youtubers said, "it feels like WoW is just one long beta test".

The content when it comes out is agressively time-gated, the story is inconsistant, what there is of it, other than grinding AP there isnt much else to do.

From whats been said more is earned from the cash shop than from subs so the general playerbase isnt their main objective, its the whales paying for mounts every few months.

I really do love WoW and want it to suceed, but it really does feel like they dont want us anymore.
Particularly countries like Poland and Hungary, they are very respectful of Article 1. Or Germany making so much business with China and Russia.

Don't kid yourself thinking that the EU is a special place that is somewhat exempt of any of this.

maybe because webgl is a display/rendering api standard which can display animations, but does not define a file format in which they can be transmitted.
Thank you for this. What's amusing to me here is that each year I collect a load of chestnuts and try and plant them about. I do it for a variety of inane personal reasons - I hadn't appreciated that there are a load of useful reasons to do so too! ( https://wiki.buildsoil.net/index.php/Why_Chestnuts%3F )
