I can tell you from years of online debate that I have had with individuals, it pretty much boils down constantly to presumption, strawmen and 'so what you are saying is' all day.
Nowadays you can't discuss anything without someone presuming a position you take on it, and immediately responding or attack you personally without ever addressing the correct argument.
Most people simply do not know how to have a conversation, and here we are in 2021 going down a slippery slope to it's expected, and not surprising end conclusion - as people waste time constantly accusing you of a position.
After about the 3rd time I won't even bother with them, as I am not going to participate in a discussion where it's me DEFENDING myself or denying their constant strawmanning

You’ll have a hard time extracting it from the sun, though.
I don't see the value TBH. constexpr is excellent for code readability. Even if the compiler could figure it out I'd vote to keep it. That said, if compiler could figure it out than you can probably set up your editor to annotate it.
They don’t. It’s technically not a scan, but a hashing of all content. It’s a non trivial difference.
Well, even the pedestrian NextCube had a "megapixel" display -- 1024x1024 graphics. Even in monochrome, that was pretty impressive for the day. The icons actually looked like what they represented, not abstractions.

I think this is a great response. It isn't creating upward mobility, but it is creating flexibility for those who want to pursue it, and improving previous service jobs. We can separately try to figure out how to create more upward mobility systematically while we do these small improvements. I am often against these companies and how they operate (and still think there is improvement to be made) but this framing changed my perspective a bit.
It's not impossible, sure. It's just usually not worth it.

I like Arch because it's a "containment" distro just like Manjaro. It keeps a lot of the most toxic gamer and ricing community isolated in some form. Thank god Valve picked that. Don't get triggered by what I'm saying, there are plenty of great people in the Arch community and the software is great but what I said is still true in many ways. The forums and even their reddit is very hard to interact with, I always had to walk on eggshells. Another great thing is their wiki and I use it all the time.

Weird that the article doesn't mention KDE Plasma as I believe it's another reason why they need rapid development. They are finishing some huge migrations like Wayland and refining their theme and applications so it's even more accessible to less technical folks. I was scared to death when the reviewers were using Plasma docked because it needs a lot of testing before it's ready. That's natural when you are making big changes.

VCs are just cogs in the wheels taking us from an "Ownership Society" to a "Sharecropper's Society," as Buffett once put it. Private Equity buying up housing, is just the latest worrying trend in a troubling trajectory with excessive debt, centralization of power, concentration of wealth, etc.
No, it doesn't. It accounts only for trade in emissions related to fossil fuels and cement use.

It doesn't account for all of the supporting emissions needed to power a factory, just the cement needed to build that factory and the electricity needed to run it. The emissions for the infrastructure and transport aren't accounted properly.

There is as of yet no solid data for this.
Maybe, but the current growth rate in CO2 + the large populations don't seem encouraging!:

I'm more so concerned for the fact that browsers are required to be so complex that it is seemingly more complicated to write a web browser rendering engine than a video game engine.

The resources modern browsers require to run are silly and often take more resources than all other applications combine, and small players have a hard time entering the field.
I got a deal on one with WIFI and I love it. I use mine in a insulated cooler with a hole in the lid. I usually don't know what time I will get home till after lunch.

Supine posture isn't really all that static if you're awake and on a surface at least as hard as tatami - you can shift around on the floor much more than in a chair, especially if the monitor can adjust a bit with you. Add a pillow anywhere and your entire force distribution changes. I would be a little more suspicious of the hammock idea, or soft beds. If you're sinking into it, it's obviously immobilizing.

Floor desking is my go-to for maximum variability though. It just needs "enough" monitor height/size that you don't hunch over to peer at the text. The rest happens naturally.

In both cases I use only a wireless keyboard/trackpad combo now. When I started out doing this I quickly realized it was the peripherals that were the problem.
privacy is something Apple markets a ton to regular folks. even on billboards!

Apple likely did market research before they chose their ads and decided that privacy was of mass interest.
isn't "servant economy" just a clickbait-ier rewording of "service economy"?

So many sectors of the economy are about providing services... how is any of this different from working in the restaurant industry? Aren't many restaurants almost equally unprofitable as these VC-driven "servant economy" startups?
There's no guarantee that a "CO2 tax" would be equally distributed itself. For an extreme case, imagine if we put a universal CO2 tax on all products. A producer might chose to slash the price of luxury goods, instead funneling the cost to lower end options. That would cause the prices the poor pay to rise more than the you subsidy would offset.

Distributing the cost equally to the producer doesn't mean they carry over equally to consumer cost.
Read the article and discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28118350. It makes the point pretty well.

>That, of course, is the rub: Apple controls the algorithm, both in terms of what it looks for, what bugs it may or may not have, and also the inputs, which in the case of CSAM scanning is the database from NCMEC. Apple has certainly worked hard to be a company that users trust, but we already know that that trust doesn’t extend everywhere: Apple has, under Chinese government pressure, put Chinese user iCloud data on state-owned enterprise servers, along with the encryption keys necessary to access it. What happens when China announces its version of the NCMEC, which not only includes the horrific imagery Apple’s system is meant to capture, but also images and memes the government deems illegal?

>The fundamental issue — and the first reason why I think Apple made a mistake here — is that there is a meaningful difference between capability and policy. One of the most powerful arguments in Apple’s favor in the 2016 San Bernardino case is that the company didn’t even have the means to break into the iPhone in question, and that to build the capability would open the company up to a multitude of requests that were far less pressing in nature, and weaken the company’s ability to stand up to foreign governments. In this case, though, Apple is building the capability, and the only thing holding the company back is policy.
Your perception is incorrect. You are certainly not alone in wanting downvotes to be different, but the current policy is that downvotes for disagreement are allowed.
I did a PoC with it and we gave up on C for an Apple II port of an educational Mac game (which was written in C). We went with @plutus' GraFORTH. It was easier (and more pleasant) to reimplement everything in Forth than to persuade Aztec C to create minimally reasonable 6502 binaries.
This is a scam against people who are actively seeking out stolen credit card details. Which doesn't seem like something an elderly person would start doing as as a result of cognitive decline.
It was becoming clear that the goalposts were going to move forward towards outlawing end-to-end encryption entirely. This provides malicious compliance to prevent worse.
The problem with PO boxes, besides being in short supply, is all the places that can't accept or ship to PO boxes (DMV, voter registration, private parcel services, insurance companies, ...)
I wonder to what extent they were showing you the new features that they'd mostly added, because they were proud of them. Most of the stuff I actually use on my install is fully set up, but I wouldn't show it to a friend, because it is boring work stuff.
Ok, but please don't cherry-pick a provocation from an article and then rush into the HN thread with it. This is how we get tedious flamewars. Indignation plus sensationalism (a.k.a. flamebait) reliably gets the most upvotes (this was the top comment before I marked it off topic); the idea of this forum is to try to dampen that if we can.

There are plenty of interesting things in the article, and we should be focusing on interesting things, not maddening things.

That much was known upon purchasing the axe - maybe it cuts trees 50% quicker and thus was worth the tradeoff, but now you can re-evaluate your options and purchase a different axe.
> One last try, after that I'll stop since you are all over these submissions defending Apple here.

Ad hominem is bad faith. It’s usually a sign that you know your arguments don’t hold up.

> What Apple is doing now is checking you photos before you put them in the envelope.

No, an ‘envelope’ is a totally misleading analogy. This has nothing to do with sending messages.

If you want an analogy try this one: Apple provides a warehouse for people who want to store copies of their precious photos. They give you a copier to make copies of your photos, you give them the copies, and they file them.

Because they don’t want a vault full of child porn, then equip the copier with a scanner to detect known child porn while it makes the copy.

That is all that is happening here. No sniffing through communications as they see fit, only a way to prevent you from uploading child porn to their service.

Anyone saying otherwise simply isn’t being truthful.
Porting Team Fortress 2 to Source 2
Self oxidizing mixtures exist. Gun powder is probably the classic example.

Monopropellants, that aren't mixtures, exist and "burn" too, high concentration H2O2 for instance.
The scanning was already a problem. A lesser one, as not using Google or iCloud avoided it. Now I can't, because technically Apple can now look directly at the phone. No idea hey it is so hard to get that difference.
If you scan in the cloud, photos not synced to the cloud are 100% not going to be scanned - they are JUST NOT THERE. If you can on device, you are one "if(" condition away from "Accidentally "scanning other photos. See the issue now?
Yeah, I simply don't believe them.

It's /plausible/ that they refuse Hungary or Saudi Arabia. But China can shutdown Foxconn and then Apple won't be able to sell iPhones.
> passive index investing and instant cash access are fundamentally opposed

They are opposed. Passive investing requires long waiting and holding, not lots of tx like a checking and cash access require.

Margin against the contents might be better, since you can keep the gains and not pay tax.

Yea, this is the problem! If you use this as a checking account, then you can't NOT invest it.

You are doing the exact thing I am complaining about. I DON'T trust Apple and never said I did; I quite explicitly elaborated on this above.

"Rolling release" is a bit of an oxymoron.

Great minds think alike...
Fortunately, China's CO2 emissions haven't increased much - and possibly started to decrease - in the last 2 years.

A hugely disproportionate amount of China's CO2 emissions (compared to the West) has been in construction [1].

China has built a mind-bogglingly insane amount of housing in the last 30 years - and given its population growth - it will not need to continue emitting CO2 for construction at this rate.

China's second biggest source of emissions is Coal. This is becoming rapidly uneconomical in China. And unlike in the US, it doesn't seem like the special coal interests are given much consideration. This source of carbon will likely be 90% gone within 20 years.

Finally - China does not have much oil, and seems to have very little interest in importing massive amounts of oil for cars. China is RAPIDLY moving to electric vehicles. And already, China uses much less CO2 per capita on transport than the West.

If China is going to be a long-term problem on emissions - it's only because 22% of the world's population lives in China - and China is no longer poor. It's not going to be because Chinese people insist on driving gas powered vehicles everywhere and eating bacon 24/7.

What about if the encryption key is derived from your password? This is common enough for "encrypt file with a password" services, I've personally implemented it in-browser as part of a small project.

Now, having your account password be the same as the email decryption password is also probably a bad idea, but we're far from the server owner being able to read your emails.

But there are ships moored waiting for their turn for the cranes to unload.

If you have swarms of these unloading, a few cans, it helps right?

I’m sure it would be very handy for edge cases where only a few cans need to be offloaded at a specific port.

You can also setup secondary drop off zones that avoid bottlenecks, like straight transfers from ship to train.

William's fatalistic enviro-quote from Westworld (TV Series)
Review of stock market news sentiment 8/2-8/6
in the service economy, the customer meets the seller face-to-face, while this digitized economy is intentionally hiding all human-to-human interaction (so servants can be replaced with future robots). In exchange, they extract rents, and have almost full control on both sides. I guess intermediaries have always existed, but with tech they are all replaced by the one giant monopoly. It does make everyone feel more like cogs of the machine.
My wife and I got one this spring and use it for most dinners now and love it. Quick, easy to clean, and the kitchen doesn't get near as hot as compared to the oven.

I can think of excellent arguments for arresting people that are planning terrorist attacks using Signal.

What I can't think of is why scanning everyone's private messages just in case they might be those terrorists is a worthwhile trade-off in any kind of free society.

There are lots of ways to catch the bad guys, and we'll never catch them all no matter what we do. In countries with a concept of individual privacy before the state, there need to be limits on how much the state gets to snoop.

There are plenty of countries without any such privacy, so it's not like we have to guess what the far end of the slippery slope looks like.
Lisp does deserve credit for being first. But didn't Lisp do it the other way around - interpreter first, later add native code generation?

Before D, people discovered that C++ templates could be used for compile time execution. Everyone was excited about this. The book that revolutionized C++ programming by exploiting this was Andrei Alexandrescu's book "Modern C++ Design" published in 2001.

But as far as I knew, nobody ever wrote about executing regular C or C++ functions at compile time in a native compiler. (There were some C interpreters, but they were interpreters only.) Once D showed it could be done, and how useful it was, the rush was on for other curly braced languages to do it.
I also don’t understand the joke.
