> how weird it is for me that I find myself explaining this

Both the "caliphate" and "sharia law" are advocated by the same book quoran. I dont understand why would you consider it is conflated and not related? Are you suggesting that we look only at the good parts of quoran that is suitable with the modern civil society like some prominent muslims suggest(example: mehdi of aljassera)?

Ask HN: What information would you like to see on product labels?
When I look at a product label, food and drinks especially, I just see legalese that's a requirement and no more. Some random competitions are sometimes also provided but overall labels are pretty boring.

What information would you like to see on a product label?

In my mind I have: ingredient information, producer information (farm details for example), CO2 production output, how recyclable are the materials based on a color scale.

Even burying the lumber doesn't remove the coal from the cycle, just delays it by a few years. You'd need to get the carbon into a "not readily accessible to biological processes" form. Charcoal is probably an OK start, but something like calcium carbonate would be even more stable.

And you can (probably) do better than trees, in terms of carbon captured per time unit. But I guess you'd have to run comparative studies between birch and bamboo for biomass grown per time unit and area.

Hm, that means that a sensible unit for carbon capture would be "kg / (m * m * s)".
With today's TypeScript, a lot more crazy stuff is possible now than what was used to demonstrate turing completeness in the issue.

While it was surprising in 2017 that TypeScript types could be used to run turing machines, with the addition of conditional types, proper support for recursively mapped types, string pattern matching and property renaming, it no longer surprises me at all.

Heck, someone implemented a static string parser + compiler + VM on top of TypeScript types.

This applies to unencrypted communications and in no way limits use of properly secured communication channels. So, if you care about keeping your communications private, just use the right tools and assume other communications are actively monitored. As you should have for the last decades. This just formalizes that status quo and doesn't really change a thing.

It seems the usual child pornography argument was used to push this through. Kind of baffling as most such people have long known to avoid any unencrypted channels. As do terrorists, criminals, and basically everyone with an incentive to keep their communications private. So this won't accomplish anything.

The scary discussion is the one where governments will challenge your right to secure private communications. I don't think there's popular support for that though. Until then use Signal or similarly end to end encrypted channels and avoid the default unencrypted channels like email or popular chat platforms without default end to end encryption.

"enough positive interest from the community". I don't understand that. How much work is it to release? If I make software I can see that if I hacked a giant crap of code together that I would want to clean it up before releasing it to public and save my self the embarrassment knowing I could do it better. However with hardware, you generally need to get it somewhat right or it doesn't work at all and you can't fix it quick.

The Shareholder Value Myth
There is a certain kind of person who is stuck in their belief and they will do everything they can to ensure that their belief system remains in one piece. They will raise the bar for evidence that contradicts their belief to the point that no such evidence remains, they will lower the bar for evidence that confirms their belief. They will ascribe to figments of the imagination of others when it comes to their personal experiences (because 'anecdote') and will claim to be doing science while ignoring the fact that science is by definition pretty messy until it has settled.
I may be biased from my past experience, but graphql tends to make codebases a nightmare if you aren't the one that initially set up the system and abstractions - it's (IMO) unnecessarily complex and blurs so many boundaries with a pretty poor tradeoff when compared to "normal" APIs.

After Rust, I think typescript is my favourite language to write these days because of how expressive the type system is - my only complaint is that there's no clean way to bind an interface implementation to a pure data shape like you can in rust and you're forced to either use classes or some sort of DIY binding to an object prototype.

As long as types are kept simple (i.e. avoid weird type tricks unless you actually need them) debugging is usually fairly straightforward assuming you have appropriate tooling setup with your editor/ide.

My biggest gripe with Go is that I find myself wanting more expressivity - not just to minimize boilerplate, but to constrain the data flows and how parts of the code are allowed to fit together.
I had a hiccup pressing a button once. Was kicked back to initial screen and the student was "locked" - which requires an admin to reset.

Bureaucrats only care whether they can get the info they need, they don't really care how they get it whether it's ethic or even lawful and thus they will do what ever they can to extract the data they want including forcing corporates to hand out their customer's data, snooping all the internet/telecom traffic, deliberately plant weaknesses/backdoors to encryption algorithms etc. Following that line, lobbying for prohibiting encryption is definitely the next step or I should rather say has already going on for a while. Such move will leave normal citizens vulnerable but does not mean much to criminals /terrorist as they will always find the crypto provider they need anyway.
The mindset is still correct - it depends too heavily on your usecase to make a generic statement.

For anything performance sensitive, the only thing that matters is to profile your code.
nix-env -i -f '<nixpkgs>' -E 'f: (f {}).python3.withPackages (ps: with ps; [pyyaml requests])'

But you don't want to install globally. One of major strengths (for me at least) is that when combined with nix-shell you have something like virtualenv, but for all packages, not just the ones from python.

This means that someone else who checks out your project can get the same environment you had for the development.

If this is combined with direnv, then you don't even need to invoke nix-shell you just enter the project directory and everything is there.

If you use something like poetry2nix[1] it will automatically have the dependencies your project has.

Was going to say. It saves screen space - should you need to save screen space - while allowing fine control. A slider would take much more screen area.

This is a bigger issue on synth VSTs that have tens or hundreds of controls. When screen resolutions were smaller it was a toss-up between hybrid vertical/rotational scrolling, horizontal/vertical window scrollbars to get the controls to appear at all, and multipage UIs.

Some designs, like Korg's MS20 VST, had all of the above.

Perhaps it's a vision of e.g. technology which could be applied in many different verticals? I can see the founders having a clear product idea but having to find its specific applications on the market... E.g. let's say you make a database and then you begin looking for companies that need your specific favor of database; then there could be customization for specific customer needs too.
I don't buy your line of argument. The settlement that was reached with the Islamic regime was negotiated by the Obama administration, and gave funds to the Islamic regime coincident to a release of prisoners. The provenance of that payment (if we view it as more than the fruits of a prisoner-swap negotiation with the Islamic regime) was money that originally belonged to the monarchy. So when you say "the Iranian government's own money," that statement is not technically true. At best, it was the money of a different Iranian government. The two governments are fundamentally different, with little overlap in the power structure (the new regime executed many powerful members of the old one), and very little effort by either to carry out the will of the people.

The disputed comment itself, I think you would agree, is factually accurate.
I completely agree with you about saying hello or anything similar . If we don't start an interaction with something like that, it just looks like we are zombie robots that have had all the humanity sucked out of their bodies.

I not only say hello, but also ask how they are doing, and I actually want to know if they are ok, sometimes I even go on a tangent about their day or anything they want to talk about, only after all that is when I ask what I wanted.

We are human and we should behave like such, or else we'll just die little by little while we're working.

Chrome releases a new major version once every two months. It's not the job of Mozilla to reverse engineer Google's internal processes and figure out which version is "extremely old one". And no, 6-7 months do not a "very old version" make.

It's also a very good thing that Mozilla picked version 88. It had all the described problems and Chrome still shipped this draft spec with known issues enabled by default in the very next version.

v88 was the last version that had this behind a feature flag. Now that it's enabled by default, devs will rely on it and Chrome will refuse to change it because "once it's out we can't change it".

Good on Mozilla to call bullshit on Google (and not for the first time).
My iPhone (SE 1st gen, so I still have a headphone jack...) is constantly nagging at me that my average headphone volume is too loud; the reality is that when I use the headphone output I'm nearly always in my car using its line input, which requires me to max out the volume on the phone to get reasonable volume out of the amp.
There aren't trillion dollar companies that advocate for privacy. Private data is a market, I think you know that with that username.

Increasing privacy doesn't decrease competition, it would force businesses to not deal with private data. There is no conflict here. There is no net loss here aside for specialized advertisers.
I dunno, I am in the GP camp. I find even the most wasteful pastimes enjoyable, like videogames; recently, I noticed I don't enjoy them as much (compared to e.g. college days or even when I had more relaxing jobs) and after some reflection, realized it's because I have a nagging feeling in the back of my head that I could be spending time better, like working, or training, or reading, or cleaning, or whatever. I.e. I definitely don't find these stale even after 25 years, it's just that I have a tech job, a wife and hobbies, so I don't have time.

And e.g. in college/HS, my results were pretty mediocre (ok, I still got mostly As, but just barely ;)) because I used my "genetic privilege" and built-up "capital" from SOME hard work, I guess, to do the minimum for an A/B, then maximized the time to pursue my own projects or just goof off. I could have probably been a straight-A student but it just never motivated me. In a twisted way in college, it actually helped me professionally, I spent so much time goofing off I realized I have enough time to have a job at the same time :)

I understand not everyone is like that (my wife instantly gets antsy and/or sad without some purpose or if she has a lot of free time), but I'm pretty sure I could fill a few decades at least with each of the things I want to do more, ranging from outdoors to cooking to playing ironman roguelikes to coding... with all of them I could fill centuries if I had the cashflow ;)

Maybe you are right and I'm making wrong assumptions. The reason I make them is that the github account that published it is not the same as the one that worked for us. In fact, the repo was created by another account and the code was actually published to the repo by a different one, but all from the same contracting firm. It just difficult not to think badly about all this

Part of the reason it's so expensive is easy government-backed student loans have enabled that.

Uhm, 5.4% doesn't seem "rampant" in a phase such as this one.

Inflation depends on the accuracy of the measurement and the central bank's control over the economy. Both are unusually bad at the moment, so being 3.4% over target isn't as bad as in a more boring phase.

For example, the wild swings in the price of shipping mean there's more noise, so the measured inflation will be less precise. People's corona-induced behaviour changes add noise and reduce the precision of the measurement.

Macports does everything in /opt/macports and keeps itself clean and out of the way of either Apple's OS (and the locked down root volume) or other MacOS native apps that install in /Applications.

I don't think people abusing cookies have a standing as I see it. On what grounds, that their predatory business model is obsolete?

On the contrary, even if many web services are financed by ads, most customers of advertising just care about having the same possibilities to advertise their products. So a more healthy ad world would remain.

That is quite a surprising story, unless your account was deleted immediately or almost immediately after creation. I know of some people kicked out of Hetzner after doing some actual bad stuff, but they had been there for a while. Hetzner took their servers offline and gave them X days to retrieve their data through the rescue system, or alternatively, pay $Y and have the hard drives from the servers physically removed and shipped to them.

I think both of the above cases were normal TOS violations like hosting porn. If more serious crime was involved the response might have been different.

I've had stuff at Hetzner for about 5 years and I'm very happy with them.
