When I mentioned in another thread this happening to other open source projects (winmerge, kdiff3) [0], I was told I was making stuff up and/or this is in 'best interest' of users and that this only happens because these are 'uncommon applications'.

Its going to be amusing to read replies to this thread.

Pardon the snark, but this is BS and its really sad to see this shitshow being defended.

Less common than it used to be, but still happens. Mostly when writing in a hurry (of course without auto-correction turned on) or interacting with older systems and applications. Also, it is so rare to use Polish letters in a URL, that if you were to dictate one based on a Polish word(s) most people would simply spell it without them (ł → l, ą → a, etc.).

By the way, never try to use Polish letters in a Windows username. It works, but every once in a while something third-party or rarely used breaks unexpectedly.
Clickbait title. I thought the NYT was offering their rate card.
That is, one plate remains stationary while the other is lapped against it, and then the opposite is performed

Is it a strict requirement that one plate remains stationary?
I have to use macos for work. I don't think it's very good. Mostly just different (and less untuitive for me - ymmv). I started by being annoyed about the UI, then the cli differences (it's not linux) then I got annoyed by the terrible finder, then I got annoyed by frequent beachballs, then... it goes on.

Some people just don't like it.

If the UK prosecutors think they have a case, they should file it. They're not subject to a statute of limitations, but justice would be served by not dragging the process out any longer.
This has been widely reported, see eg Matt Levine's recent take: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-07-22/privat...
In Australia we have the 7Plus, or 7+, app which works with Android TV and allows you to choose from various sports that are currently live, plus replays.

The app requires sign in via email address, which normally would turn me away, but it's worth it to burn a throw away email address for the sake of the Olympics.

There's probably a geofence, butt if you can get an Australian exit node VPN then give it a bash.

These sports have been converted so far:

3x3 Basketball (great energy!)
Table Tennis
Badminton
Rowing
Skateboarding
Gymnastics
Swimming
Equestrian
Soccer
Hockey
Basketball
Softball
Handball
Volleyball
Tennis
Water Polo
You could be right. It's Tesla, so the thinking was probably more along the lines of "Germany will do whatever we want because we're Tesla."
That's fall out from the 90s. People hunted for keygen.exe for their sharewares. And some rouge sites will collect many keygens, attach backdoor program with those and then distribute from their site or over bit-torrent.

Anti-virus then would scan those files. Looks like modern ones simply delete any such named file without scanning.
For context: GYO & GIY (Grow Your Own / Grow It Yourself) are common acronyms in permaculture/biodiversity/grower circles.

But yeah, probably not widely recognised. Worth clarifying.
I love how the NYT tries to pretend they're not involved in pedaling disinformation as well.
When I go to an indoor range, even with two sets of hearing protection on, it takes me about 10 mins to stop flinching every time a shot is fired. And we're not talking about super weapons here, just common stuff like 9mm pistols. I think it's hard to convey in words just how LOUD guns really are.
Whilst it's easy to spot the leak, the fact that you can leak handles by entirely forgetting they exist can make it a little harder for the programmers to find where their code leaked the handle and so fix it.

If you leak 6GB of RAM, there's 6GB of evidence about what was leaked exactly. If it's full of terrible love poetry you can rule out "FootBallScores" and focus on the "TeenagePoems" data structure and related code. But if you leak 50 000 HANDLEs then er... oops?

The post shows you can narrow it down to say, Event HANDLES but after that it gets increasingly sticky. Hopefully somewhere there's a C++ object that owns the handle and that has leaked which you can trace, but as I understand it, the handles themselves might be all that leaked, leaving you to instrument software so that you can find out which code made all the handles and then trace back those that seem leaked.

> You know you can connect any USB mice you want, right?

Yes, I'm aware of that. When I last seriously used MacOS X it was still the PPC era, and while technically you could use a 2 button mouse it wasn't really designed for it. Anyway, compared to other complaints that's a minor gripe of mine.
sports is all wrapped up in exclusive contracts brokered by these media guys who are all buddies. you wanna watch international sports you gotta get a euro VPN because in the USA our rich power brokers dont care about most sport.

You're focusing on one tiny anecdote of my life and generalizing it to my entire existence. I never said being discriminated against for a job was an example of incredible privilege - it's many of the other things that most white males never notice. When I get pulled over for speeding I don't have to worry about getting shot like black men do. Do you have any idea how fucking horrible it is to go through life worrying about legalized thugs with a proven history of racism regularly getting away with murdering you just because of the color of your skin? I don't because I'm white. That's privilege. If you think "driving while black" is a joke then your ignorance is making the world a worse place.

Holy fucking shit I cannot stand the echo chamber that is tech sometimes. Get out of your bubble and try to experience the world outside of reading about it on HN. There are worse things than being denied a job because of bullshit HR policies.

Only take VC money if you want to create a large company and sell it in a 5-7 time frame. Or go out of business trying...

The main reason you should raise seed money is because (a) you need it to build the product and (b) you are worried someone else could take your market and need to move faster. Otherwise, build the business (as opposed to the product) and then raise 7-10M to expand it.

A common pattern is that you give up 20% of the company and a board seat then spend through the Seed round much quicker than planned with revenue lagging expectations. Then either fail to raise the A (happens most of the time) or have to give up another 20% and control of the company.

The control issue might be subtle too -- one board seat for the seed, one board seat for the A, two for the founding team BUT the money brings in a new CEO who has the 5th vote. The board actually controls the company (even it you own a majority of the stock) and the CEO will side with the money when it matters.

I would prove your economic model (will your current users actually pay for it?) before taking any money. In fact, probably the first thing to do is just ask them (see https://blog.asmartbear.com/vetting-startup-ideas.html).

...

My experience was that we raised $700K because we needed to cover the business guy's salary based on a trial by a single large enterprise client and couldn't get anyone else to adopt. The investors were great but it would have been better for all parties if we'd done something else with our time and their money.

My final bit of advice is put your revenue and growth expectations in a spreadsheet and game out the no-money vs with-money scenarios. Then increase your expense numbers by 20% and cut your revenue growth curve in 1/2.
Most places I've been to in the past year at least here in London (UK) didn't allow ordering at the bar due to restrictions around queues. Many also didn't allow paying with cash.
>I wonder if the MAFIAA can pressure software vendors to ban classes of software.

What if the vendor just says "no"? Who's going to win in the court of public opinion when this hits the press? Besides, they don't seem to care that much, considering that very few people actually watch videos on their computers anymore. In case they do, it's through a browser which sandbox (at least on firefox) the decryption modules to prevent them from scanning the operating system.

This is one of those things that would meet the criteria of the article. Don't fight traffic, create opportunities for people to open stores and restaurants inside housing development.

I don't know how the new Defender quarantine works, but it's not just a folder on the system anymore. Often you just can't get your files back and Microsoft's answer is "well, they're dangerous".

Indeed. That goes for any software and it'd be really nice if we could grow beyond our childish tribalism and accept that "I don't like the way your favorite software works" is not a personal attack.
The "competition" isn't other broadcasts of Olympics. It's netflix, xbox, twitter and other sports options. It definitely does matter how well they do their actual job, and right now they're failing.
I don't need to illuminate the whole space all night to see where I'm going. I carry a flashlight on night walks. It light pollutes only the area right in front of me.
is it really seed when you have an operational product with significant user base?

sure you can take that money, but sounds like it is low risk and higher valuation than you might think - either ask more or give less.

whether or not you take VC money, I think, is largely dependent on the VC rather than the money. many startups didn't need money, but wanted the VC. other startups could've used VC money, but managed without it. the worst thing is taking money from a VC who doesn't share your vision.

I'm on the fence on this one, but I'm not experienced with VCs.
I think Tesla is just in such trouble because they were building their factory without having all permits. They were allowed to do that, but had to get all the permits in the end. As I understood it Tesla then build stuff that are not usually allowed, I suspect Tesla was trying to establish facts and thereby trying circumvent regulation.

I don't really see the german government here at fault. They were eager to get the factory up and running and were working with Tesla to get it built quickly. If Tesla wants to build first and get the permits later, it also has to retroactively improve things when they were not up to code. You can't just get permits because you've built something.
Lol, I want to know how many people out there ordering Seamless because they’re too lazy to pick up the food are arguing they would have had an easier life chasing down an antelope with a 14-hour jog across the plain and dragging the several hundred lb corpse back to the tribe.

That's a condition of Taiwan entering the Olympics at all.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-26/taiwan-chinese-taipei...

I wonder, whilst looking at Hong Kong, why Taiwan would be at all worried about the One Country, Two Systems rule...
On one hand, this is true. On the other hand it’s not like refrigerants are anywhere close to the only source of explosive fumes in American houses. Even sticking to just propane, the propane chilled chest freezer in my garage is sitting right next to my spare cylinder of grilling propane, which is your standard beat to hell Home Depot exchange cylinder. If I had to guess what would leak propane into my house, my money is on the grilling cylinder, not my chest freezer. And that’s before we talk about natural gas lines, cars full of gasoline, and god knows what kind of nasty solvants are sitting on the typical garage work bench.

Sure, we absolutely should take precautions when chilling things with propane. Some sort of smelling agent like we put into natural gas lines seems wise to me, but it’s not like it’s some sort of weird and new threat we’re introducing into our home; we use all kinds of explosive liquids and gases all the time already, often for burning and exploding!
By well-working system I mean there are still enough checks and balances in place to make the rise of a figure like Trump or Putin very unlikely. And this of course is tied to economic well-being.
Here in Switzerland we have a system where big apartment buildings allow you to get into the lobby with a PIN code (which regularly rotates - I think it might be weekly).

Your argument doesn't consider the fact that straight white men have received benefits from racism and sexism their entire lives. I'm not saying that you're wrong, but it's just not that simple. They may not have gotten that job in the first place in a world with true equality.

As a trans woman I think I have a unique perspective here, having literally seen both sides of this issue. I would have agreed with you at one point in my life, but I see things differently now.

Bosch recently built a fab in Dresden (afaik), so it has to be possible.
Wouldn't signing the application help? I understand many open source projects don't sign their app, because it's not free to do so, but on the other hand it's a bit of a waste. They spend years developing something great, and the first thing users see when they install the app is a big yellow warning as if it was malware (and in this case it's literally detected as such).
There is no action at a distance problem, because no influence travels between the particles.
Scope social media usage to residents using group attribution technologies that are government verified. You can demonstrate membership in a group without revealing your individual identity. Then have who the user is from displayed to all other users, or limit access based on that. Japan does this with Line, to get access to Japanese chat rooms you need a Japan telephone number, which usually requires a Japanese ID somewhere down the line. China is similar, but much more extreme, in that you need a Chinese phone number to use virtually any online service.
Most likely because the dedication required to reach grandmaster level, essentially wasting your life away for a game, is socialized out of women in most cultures because they have to have responsibilities and be care givers. It's becoming less and less true though, at least in western culture.
I was incredibly confused this year by Russia being "ROC" and Taiwan being "Chinese Taipei", given I'd always mentally associated "ROC" with Republic of China aka Taiwan.

They settle without admitting any wrongdoing, and agree to pay a fine and promise to change their procedures to avoid doing this in the future.

It is exceedingly rare for financial executives to go to jail for crimes committed by a corporation.
We don't need it, so we don't use it. I think it's fantastic that it's possible, and I think that if you do need it, it's great to have it.
It doesn't solve it. The action at a distance is not a problem with quantum theory. This is because it both is predicted by quantum theory and also observed in experiment. It is a fact of nature and must be accepted. Entanglement does not violate special relativity, and QFT happily merges both special relativity and quantum mechanics into one theory without issue.
> No speaker of any other language in the world even tries to pronounce foreign words like foreigners do

[citation desperately needed]

I'm a mothertongue Italian speaker. Never in my life I heard someone pronouncing "Bill Gates" or even "Google" with the Italian grammar/pronunciation rules.

People would routinely ask how to pronounce foods in a Japanese or Chinese restaurant. Or thank the waiter/waitress for correcting them.

> If someone gives you a hard time, smirk at them for being the unsophisticated provincial they are.

This is incredibly arrogant.
These issues cannot be fixed by merely updating the docs for a few items. (and frankly I don't contribute much to big FOSS projects because I've had bad experiences with big projects before)

This can only be fixed by A. Requiring that all syntax changes, no matter how small, are fully documented before they reach stable or even beta, and B. Eventual standardization, even if the reference implementation ends up being more cutting edge.

Rust devs also need to think more about how they're going to document a feature before they add it. Like for many of the implicit reborrows, they're done in non-obvious places and not done in others, with no pattern to where it's done and where it's not. That kind of implementation is extremely painful to document or standardize. Rust needs to think more in terms of rules for syntax, rather than instances of a particular shortcut. Rather than adding a standalone instance, you should edit the rules so that instance is covered.

> Willfully putting healthy people at risk of severe injury or death with an experimental, untested drug is a violation of the Nuremburg Code ... everyone administering the Covid vaccines will be held to account.

This isn't logic, this is an emotional statement. You know, propaganda.

So as you can state your position clearly, are you actually threatening "everyone administering the Covid vaccines" with Nuremburg-style courts?
That's funny because a lot of experienced engineers move to Germany from France, Spain, Italy, the UK, etc to get better salaries.

Engineering salaries in Germany are high compared to most of western Europe.
>You need a word besides "pain",

That is indeed fair enough to ask for a different term. If one were to discuss technicalities then you are spot on. But I think we have digressed, the post that I responded to, was along lines of ( paraphrasing but not exact words) : It is somehow ok to eat plants but not animals, because they are different. I was taking an exception to that line of reasoning.

Smoking directly affects non-smokers; either secondhand smoke wafting in the direction of non-smokers, or discarded cigarette butts littered about. I remember being a child riding into town with my aunt and uncle who smoked in the car with the windows up and not being able to articulate that I couldn't breathe. Smoking should not exist.
100-150 years ago it was common to have your elderly relatives home, too. But many people either worked in the fields around the same village or in a workshop located in the same house.

The "commute 60 minutes to an office" culture is rather hostile to community living. As is the fact that many people aged 80 or so are alive, but not self-sufficient and need nursing.

If you get a stroke in rural Africa (or in 19th century Europe), you just die and that's it. Your descendants do not need to worry about keeping you alive but bedridden for five more years.

I think that options trading is actually harder than trading cryptocurrency. And that's why some people start with crypto investment and later can choose to try something new and start trading options.

For some reason this story reminded me of the French winning 4x100 freestyle relay in London 2012. They went in as the underdogs but trounced the Americans with Yannick Angel who swam the final leg absolutely trouncing Phelps and co. He was also an athlete who had a hobby of reading and was quiet a good student at that time. There is something mesmerizing about athletes who also embrace intellectually stimulating activities.
