Yes and no. You need a proper functioning garbage disposal system first. I've visited places in countries where the people could shop plastic wrapped items en masse but the government failed to provide proper garbage disposal. What are these people supposed to do? They get their food wrapped in plastic but have no way of disposing of said plastic other than dumping it in nature.
Coming from Judaism - our history was based on family and community as well. It's only recently in the US that the personal impulse has become more important than taking care of your family. The word for charity (tzadaka in Hebrew, I think the Arabic world is very similar), you know is not and should never be about showing pride or wealth. This is what our Christian friends actually wrote down in their bible... their prophet was some rabbi who pointed out that many other rabbis strut around pretending to look charitable, who are in fact selfish. Then they nailed him to a cross for saying that. This behaviour has not changed much in the last 2000 years, whether you're Muslim, Jewish or Christian.
I find myself pushing off macOS updates far more often than I do Windows updates. They seem to take far longer and I feel like it's a black box as to what's really going. If I have it hooked up to an external monitor, there's a chance it just stops displaying the progress bar for the update on the monitor for periods of time, making the entire process seem like a black box. And then once it comes back up, sometimes I have to open the lid and login with the built-in keyboard just to resume using everything connected to my dock.
You'd probably be worrying more about instance sizes if you ran a single executor per container; the memory overhead of your app would become a problem very quickly unless it's startup footprint was quite small.
The problem is it's only 10-100 milliseconds when my computer is otherwise unloaded. When my machine is under high load that turns into several seconds.
Ripcord is lovely, I'm a paying customer[0] and highly recommend it. I used it for years with Slack, and have only good things to say about the experience. It's also a living proof that all the bloat in Slack and similar apps is absolutely not necessary.

That said, the issue with Ripcord and similar is that they're all living on borrowed time - and using them means risking your own account. It's only a matter of time before Slack and Discord start to ban people using alternate clients - and then poof, Ripcord is dead.

I like this! Thanks for (re)posting it.
For SMS, the logs are stored on the devices, not with the providers. So providers have to take an extra effort to listen in. With Discord, it's already in a database. E-Mail does keep logs around but many clients have features to delete mails older than N weeks/months/etc. In discord or telegram, you need to use third party tools for that.
The Lean Dream – Start Building the MVP of Your Better Life
That comic is fun and all, but the specific examples are things people actually do to reduce traffic speed. Painting lines that turn a two way road into a single lane for a single car length is common for low speed roads in order to force cars to take turn passing it, thus reducing speed.

Cutout of pedestrians is extremely common, especially in the country area where they want to remind drivers to slow down next to homes. Sometimes they wear vests to look a bit like traffic police, through that practice is a bit (more?) illegal.

If I remember right, when that comic came out there was a HN thread discussing exactly those things. Those tricks are not done in order to murder people, but they might confuse a computer.

I think this should link directly to Git's release notes (e.g. https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq1r6touqi.fsf@gitster.g/), or the title should be updated to somehow reflect that this is Github's blog post about the changes, not Git's official announcement.

Git is not owned or stewarded by Github, and posts like this reinforce the common and unfortunate image that it is.
I am no kernel-ninja and my experience is limited to a few kprints just to not be a complete noob. My question to the knowledgeable people would be: has the linux kernel become too big and too complex to maintain ? By that i mean, like for an organization, when most of the cost/efforts, are spent on just maintaining/understanding stuff.
My question would be, why do you want to help people specifically in Afghanistan and not, for example a starving child threatened by even more crazy people from the IS also happening right now, even though it is not on the news?

The world is big, with a long list of problems.

A single person cannot fix the mess of global powers. I believe one of the reason for the mess, is too many people "knowing better" and from the outside how to fix things.

But strictly pragmatically speaking:

I would try to put pressure on politicians, that they are serious to get at least some of the people out, who are seriously under threat - basically everyone not radical islamic. But you see the problem with even that?
I agree with that. Creative production and problem solving, accompanied by a strong internal standards pushing us further for higher quality or impact than we achieved before, is the pinnacle.

But reading is far more active form of receiving, than other forms of learning or entertainment.
This may well be true, but it can also be an accurate and succinct word for "related to the bigger picture but a separate conversation".

E.g. performance and security of the system both relate to that system but each dimension can be worked on or discussed without necessarily impacting the other.

Our team uses it quite organically and humbly (and not excessively) but yes it absolutely is a candidate for use in an affected manner rather than a genuine one.
Covid has a below 1% case fatality rate. It is not going to ‘kill several million Americans’.
Got me thinking. I wonder how much scope there is to build apps for platforms like Spotify which are built around a given use case.

For example - for people that prefer listening to albums. Or people that only care about political podcasts. Or something. I wonder if the global audience is enough to support indie products like this.

Significant platform risk though.
> And I'm vaccinated, everyone in my country who wants to be vaccinated is. Why should I reduce the quality of my life for people who made a choice and took a risk?

Vaccination isn’t a magic talisman against infection, or against illness if infected, or against transmitting the disease if infected. It reduces the likelihood of each, all other things being equal, but it isn't a guarantee against any of them (and is less so against Delta, “Delta Plus", and apparently Lambda than other strains so far.

Masking further reduces both inbound and outbound transmission, and is just a basic precaution.
I was just talking about Aibo a couple of days ago, because Huawei announced their CyberDog: https://www.engadget.com/xiaomi-cyberdog-robot-dog-141128369...

I wonder how they will compare.

The subscribtion model and cloud connection has so far also stopped me from getting an Aibo.

I was reminded of the Vector bot by Anki, and very pleased to see that apparently it was saved from the insolvency of Anki by Digital Dreamlabs.

The interesting part: while Vector originally was also cloud based like Aibo, Digital Dreamlabs now offers an "Escape Pod" that makes it possible to use Vector without the cloud (or with your own cloud): https://www.digitaldreamlabs.com/products/escape-pod

> One process per container and multiprocessing

Do you mean multiprocessing inside the containers? Or are you managing multiprocessing child procs by forking into a container somehow? If the latter, I'd be really interested to learn how to do that; I didn't think it was possible, and it would be super useful for some of what I work on.

That blog post is the biggest load of unadulterated bull excrement I have read in a very long time. It is pure unsubstantiated Apple bashing.

Get a grip man. An OS update fails on one machine and you find it perfectly reasonable to extrapolate this to Apple going to the dogs and that Apple management should resign ? What planet do you live on ? Your blog post is the very definition of overexaggeration.

Those of us who manage larger number of Apple devices have not seen any issues with OS X updates.

Sure there is always the possibility of an edge-case where an OS update can go wrong. But that can happen on ANY OS ... Windows, Linux, BSD.

Sheesh !
The 3d styling in the UI is very nice, but the widgets are not touch friendly at all. Even "classic 90s" OS's like Windows CE used the pattern of headerbars with a few key widgets that could be easily accessed via touch, not unlike modern GTK 3.x and 4.x. A lot friendlier than this.
Weimar was forced on Germany? The Kaiser had abdicated, there were revolutions all around Germany, the navy was in full on mutiny. Of course it was seen as disorderly mess but it was in no way forced upon the population from outside and instead was the result of a dozen different forces inside of Germany pulling and pushing to achieve their own personal goals. While it started with bloodshed (Mainly between the communists and the democratic left) in the following elections the social democrats where elected with a wide majority, which in large parts was a testament to the level of public support they and their democracy had.

And I am really curious what would constitute a "democratic tradition" in your opinion. By 1945 the German people had been organizing themselves for around a hundred years in different parties, unions, parliaments. They had newspapers discussing everything from politics, culture, society and democracy. They had organized countless nationwide strikes and participated in two revolutions. The first chancelor of Germany after 1945 had been a democratically elected mayor of Cologne for around 15 years. Was part of a political party since 1907.

Maybe look at the Kapp Putsch. Right wing politicians and militias occupied Berlin in 1920. The democratically elected government called for a general strike and for the next couple of days the whole country stood still. No trains. No work in any factory. No news paper. No telephone. In Berlin there was no water. No electricity. Absolutely nothing. This doesn't happen in a nation with an apathetic populace which has no democratic tradition and just wants it's Kaiser back.

Democratic tradition doesn't just consist of having a parliament as the highest authority in your country if you ask me.
I have the same question. If it's the latter then systems like that cannot ever be allowed on roads.

We also use an ECS in Rust (shipyard) to power a bunch of the editing experience in Story.ai

After some serious initial difficulty getting my head away from "this is a block" to "this entity has a block" I think it's turned out to make a lot of sense.

For example, checking whether a value shared by a "when there is a new tweet" is in scope when someone wants to use it (i.e. in nested block) is as simple as having a few components to represent a pointer from value to the ID of the block that shares it, and a list of blocks that share scope for this location and then compare the two.

More likely due to ASP, VBScript mixed into HTML server-side much like PHP.

VBScript could, and occasionally was, used client-side, but it was very rare in my experience. Outside of articles pushed by MS the “same language on server and client” angle didn't hold enough water to override the “only supported by IE” issue even when IE had ~90% market share in the early 2000s.

> Asia does not just mean « China »

Thanks I know, but that's where the vast majority of the west's waste went when we still had big pollution problems with other countries. The solution is for them to control their plastic waste properly and instill their culture with values about litter, with economic incentives and technological help.
There's a practical need for technological solution which can mitigate pandemics at scale. We went from historic cordon sanitaires that lasted multiple years to ~12 months for mrna vaccines. Effective contact tracing that enables societies to "live" with the virus while vaccine rollout is logical next step. Of course the chance of system being exploited in societies with the political appetite to actually enforce such a system is high. But IMO it's better for the capability exist somewhere than nowhere, especially when risk for pandemics will only increase with population + development over time.
> Covid has a below 1% case fatality rate.

The US has 622K fatalities on 37M cases, which is a 1.68% CFR (and is an undercount, because some current cases that will be fatalities aren't yet.) Of course, CFR isn't a constant, it varies with current healthcare overload and the lethality of different strains, among other factors.
> traefik or HAproxy

A meta note but it struck me that seeing "traefik" where NGINX usually is is pretty fascinating. I rate it highly because of it's support for k8s (I've written before about how wonderful I think it is) but am somewhat unaware of how widely it's known. Guess it's pretty well known at this point if people casually mention it (then again, the audience is HN after all)!
"now this" is a good thing that is happening. The dairy industry (mega farms) pollute like few others and with the way they treat animals it is good if that entire industry can be replaced by something else. The farming industry also receives billion upon billions in farm subsidies (at least in the EU). Money that can be saved when the farms has gone out of business.
Isn't this a ridiculous requirement in 2021?

I agree with the principal, but in practice the mailing list post is pretty inscrutable to me (as a casual git user, maybe more experienced users find it more helpful?) On the other hand the github blog post provides a lot of extra context and explanation around the changes which adds a lot of value to me.
Hah, it probably is width. Maybe gamers should all start using it that way. Then people who want a big list of knobs to fiddle with will be able to find the games they like easier.

I feel like Dwarf Fortress and other games in the simulation category are probably an exception, because the main enjoyment isn't in a tight, well-polished game loop.

Rather it's in the surprises that the game throws up and watching all the little folks run around and do their thing.

Also, there are very few games that tie all their features together in layers of interacting systems with the rigour or success that Dwarf Fortress does. Lot of effort has gone into that game.
> simply jpeg encoded as the intraframe

In case it wasn't obvious, the error image can of course have negative values which jpeg can't handle. So you add a bias of +128 and clamp the biased error to [0, 255].

During decoding you simply subtract the bias when adding back the error image.
Looking at the founding story there are some analogies aren't there?
At this point we can assume that anything technologically feasible for surveillance is implemented or pending implementation. There were some suggestions that the push for 5G comes from the desire to improve location tracking which is much better on 5G.
What is true is that since we have computer-based theorem provers / proof checkers, "working it out" becomes a matter of getting your challenge past one of those, and the orthodoxy will have a hard time arguing against that.

But OTOH you see many people in other disciplines challenging the orthodoxy (in Physics: string theorists, MOND proponents, etc.) and while their views aren't always taken fully serious, their houses aren't being torched either.
A good solution would be to make these games in places like India or China where they have advantage of exchange rates. And relocate the Devs and Artists to these places or maybe they can work remotely and save on expensive office costs?

SerenityOS does have basic support for TTF/OTF rendering via our native LibGfx library [1], and it's possible to switch the system font to a vector font of your choice.

That said, nobody has implemented kerning or hinting yet, so vector fonts do look pretty unpolished on screen, especially at smaller sizes.

Yes, they made a lot of contributions because of the time they lived in (right after calculus was invented but before modern mathematics). Still, you have no way of knowing what they would be able to contribute today and that whole hypothetical is kind of pointless anyway.

I understand the confusion. I meant that the long-term narcolepsy was caused by something that happened in the short-term while the immune system was still reacting to the vaccine.

From that link:

> The flu vaccine is designed to trigger antibodies to influenza’s surface proteins, but if it elicits antibodies to the nucleoprotein as well, those might well latch on to the hypocretin receptor, and eventually lead to death of the cells, the researchers thought.

That couldn't just spontaneously happen a year after getting a vaccine.
