Before I do that, can you please tell me how you will react if I give you evidence that any of the major vaccines are not safe?
Like I give you hard undeniable evidence, what will your reaction look like? Will you apologize to every single person that you "attacked for spreading misinformation"? Will you change your stance and from now on at least say "there are downsides to the vaccines"? Will you go back to your old comments and amend them saying "vaccines are actually not save"?
Just be honest and precise what exactly changes if I give you evidence that the vacciens are not safe and which of the claims should be removed from social media for misinformation - "The vaccines are save" or "The vaccines are not safe" one of those is misinformation that can literally kill people, which one will you seek to be removed if I would be able to provide evidence that vaccines are not safe?

Vienna keeps getting brought up in threads like this, but one fact is that the demand and supply is not completely off-kilter there like in some (many?) other European cities. Anywhere in Sweden, for example has a ton of public housing but a decades-long wait to get it.
It's not really 'Suburbs' in the way the word seems to be used in the US. In Swedish the word suburb (förort) tends to more refer to the areas just outside city limits with large cheap housing projects. Saying you are from 'förorten' implies you grew up in an impoverished area. Much like saying you are from "the projects" in the US.

All these crime-ridden suburbs are within 20-30ish minutes easy public transport to the city center.

Here in the US, radio stations treated citizens to decades of Tony Bennet singing the song "Put On a Happy Face". It was from a 1960 musical called 'Bye Bye Birdie'.

By some magical coincidence, just a year later the black-on-yellow 'Happy Face' (Smiley) was introduced by the 'Good Guys' on NYC radio and used on badges for an insurance company.

Because it's early in the morning, I also wonder if there are other countries where the phrase "wipe that smile off your face" means you're in danger.

What I'm Up to Now
So how does it work. Where do the standard library functions come from? Where do all the garbage collecting functionality gets loaded from?. Or is it more like pinvoking a reduced external library in C for all needed functionality.
We used them with read caching controllers - some fancy board with lots of RAM with a Motorola 68020 onboard but they caused more issues than the performance advantage.

It's mentioned:

> Apple will also establish a fund to assist small US developers, particularly as the world continues to suffer from the effects of COVID-19. Eligible developers must have earned $1 million or less through the US storefront for all of their apps in every calendar year in which the developers had an account between June 4, 2015, and April 26, 2021 — encompassing 99 percent of developers in the US. Details will be available at a later date.

>Why do C++ programmers always refer to the overhead of "reference counting", when the overhead is not in the counting, but in the memory management

Presumably they're looking at reference counting as an alternative to unique_ptr, and in that context the memory management overhead is already being paid.
I'm in the middle of writing some of this right now.

For 'reasons', I need to add callback hooks into a particular HTTP Client library my org uses across several dozen of projects. The library we commonly use doesn't have hooks.

I've got a couple of options: switch wholesale to a different library, build a child class, build a nasty bit of monkey patching boiler plate, or build a little library which prepends some logic into the ancestors chain.

The first and second would cause eye-rolls ("I'm just calling an internal api in the way I've always done, why are you making me change it everywhere!"). The monkey patching boilerplate, well, gross. But a little bit of prepend logic packaged into a gem and I've got the behaviour I need.

One of the tremendous joys I get from ruby is never having the feeling that the language or runtime can't do something I need. Whether that thing should be done or which way it should be done is another matter.
I'm not too sure about that. Having a HAM radio license would allow you to transmit on bands licensed for HAM usage. A lot of the stuff that people want SDRs for (especially for transmitting) lies outside of those bands.

Their press release (https://press.aboutamazon.com/news-releases/news-release-det...) also includes a few more details about the devices:

Anywhere in the Western Cape, but I mean it doesn't just end there. I would be perfectly happy with many places in Johannesburg (like Bryanston), Pretoria, and also many rural locations.

That is not to say security is not a serious concern in many of these places, but you can lower the risk substantially by choosing the right neighborhoods etc.

Most of the crime happens in the dodgy areas (ironically - poor people suffer the most from crime).

> That document (DA 18-980) talks about "importing two-way VHF/UHF radios... used primarily for short-distance, two-way voice communications."

I thought it was more along the lines of going after Baofengs, not CB radios, hence the calling out of VHF/UHF radios specifically.

The first article specifically says: "They are endowed with REASON and CONSCIENCE and should act towards one another in a spirit of BROTHERHOOD." (emphasis mine)

So the ones who are for this kind of approach should publicly invite the squatters to their house, and live under a bridge.

It is always simple to make other people do what you claim is right.
Not that I personally care if individuals violate terms of service, but using that in a sales pitch seems akin to advertising for piracy services.

Abiding by the terms of the agreement which you enter into with the company providing the service is a requirement to continue service and/or avoid liability, irrespective of whether it includes completely idiotic and archaic business practices and irrespective of whether this causes harm.

And yes, I also find Netflix to have extremely limited value.

> The goal of taxes - and this seems to match reality - is to incentivize certain kinds of transactions.

unfortunately the kinds of transactions it incentivizes are available and profitable mostly for the rich.

>The primary goal of macroeconomic policy for the last decade has been to convince people to move money into shares of more founders [....] This has also been largely unsuccessful, as people simply dont want to give random founders money.

Huh? how about qualified investor rule which denies most people the chance to give money to founders? I.e. the same as above - the transactions available only to the rich.
Thanks. It seems that the JyNI project is trying to make a bridge between CPython and Jython, so from that I take that it is somehow possible to have extensions which more or less rely on RC (or at least the C API) while you can use a GC (Java's GC in this case) at the same time.

The author (Byron) seems to conflate "eloquence" with the Ciceronian use of flowery constructions and lots of subordinate clauses. For me, eloquence is the art of making yourself understood in speech. Elaborate rhetorical embellishments, it seems to me, impede that goal.

I find that I identify as a prescriptivist; at any time, there seems to be a small number of words that are widely used in a sloppy and ignorant way by opinion-formers, and that usage rapidly pushes out more precise usage.

Having said that, I welcome the fluidity of English, and would be horrified at the prospect of an Academy Anglaise with a goal of fossilising the language. I enjoy adjusting my register to my audience. And (my elitism breaks through) I enjoy exercising my knowledge of English vernacular (i.e. I like swearing) and formal registers. And I enjoy the effect it has when I suddenly switch registers - swearing during a mainly formal utterance shocks people. I enjoy demonstrating that I am a native speaker, even if that makes me harder to understand for an increasing minority of people.

I use quite a lot of americanisms; when I was growing up, American slang was hip (I'm from the UK). I get teased for that. I also use a fair bit of "archaic" terminology, partly because it seems more precise to me than the modern gloss.

So I guess I'm not really a prescriptivist; I just have some opinions that die-hard descriptivists seem to find offensive. Lexicographers (Websters, OED) have apparently all lined-up behind a descriptivist banner, and I don't know where one might find an authoritative prescriptivist English dictionary.
I was an early Kickstarter backer of this project and have been really impressed with the progress.

I try most released and think it has a lot of potential but I seem to run into basic problems all the time.

I grabbed the new version this morning to try a basic trim of a mobile video from my phone. The video imported fine but when I changed the video format to portrait mode, I wasn't able to resize the video to fit into the frame. Trying to scale it just made it go crazy - some weird maths error in the resizing, maybe?

I'm sure it works fine for a bunch of other use cases but I just seem to always have bad luck with what I try to do! Would love to see more focus on core, basic features and making them rock solid.
> Fragmented gui development. There were too many projects with none focusing on really making a better gui than mac/windows.

Not really true. Windows has copied loads of stuff from Linux GUIs over the years. I began to notice this around Windows Vista.

> A lack of bread and butter 1st class "business" apps - you know, office. OpenOffice is fine, IF you are ok with the janky ui and no one knowing how it works

This is valid. Shouldn't be so bad today with web apps being a thing.

> lack of open source exchange type mail/cal/etc server and outlook-like client). Holy fudge, I tried to get this going and people just crapped on me for suggesting it.

Yeah, because MS locks other mail clients out. Thunderbird is an excellent email client. Outlook is some proprietary business messaging thing that also happens to support email (badly).
Ask HN: School or curriculum for children to explore science

So you can't have any platform differentiation and at the same time lose any cohesive, platform specific UI with known conventions.

Instead of two major mobile vendors we end up with one or best case scenario two major browsers from one or two tech companies with enough resources to to build and maintain them.
Thanks for correcting me. I wish all vendors would provide such clear and easy to read information. I was just repeating what I had heard elsewhere.

So is it just one of those management decisions that we don't put any work into an old device? It annoys me mostly because the X is the last device of a reasonable size. I would not even pay for a new one because I am entitled to a new work phone. But I don't like the huge devices you get these days.

We're a bit of a weird case in that we log data at 20Hz and 100Hz for prototypes, so we need custom queries and/or aggregation to reduce that down for display. We had a good chat with Inductive earlier this year, but even they said that might be a bit much for them. Other than that, though, Ignition is literally everything we want in a single product.

Yes. backtesting is such a complexe tool. I usually use Tastworks for backtesting after filtering out some instruments with a screener.
If I have to work in an office in a city 9-5 and show up in person, I'm pretty much going to spend the rest of my day in my home on my computer anyway. I cant go to Bali and back in one evening. Most of the year I cant even head down to the beach for a swim locally anyway all the sunlight is gone. Hell I'm going to be in too shitty of a mood to enjoy myself even if I did. Any day that I was in a city, drove in peak traffic, and spent time in an office is ruined for me. Does that mean every day that I met those criteria I actually worked from wake up to fall asleep? No of course not.

It's just reduced utility. I can do less with an hour that's sandwiched between two days where I had to work than one surrounded by many days of free time. I can do even less with an hour on a day in which I have to work. Then less with an hour where I have to work in both the previous and next hour. Or yeah, an hour in which I need to be ready to start working at short notice.

Then true remote, remote but same time zone/country, remote except for once every couple weeks, in office most days, in office every day; all heavily impact the utility of your time off as well. Same as, if you are required to be in the office, the location of it.

Being reasonably bathed, not having offensive tattoos, coming home physically exhausted, mentally exhausted, emotionally exhausted.

Different jobs, roles, careers, etc have a ton of different impacts on the utility of free time.

The idea of picking one specific reduction in utility and declaring this one counts as work in all caps and bold seems arbitrary and useless at best and hindering ones ability to think about the costs of the job at worst.

Like what's to gain? Instead of getting paid $X to work 40 hours per week plus 10 on call you get paid $X to work 50 hours per week of which 10 are on call? Ok cool you shuffled some categories around. It doesn't change anything practical.

They're paying me for some reason and thats what goes on my job title and appears on my payslip but its not why they need to pay me. Getting worked up about on call hours not getting counted as to why they pay you makes as much sense to me as calling up HR and going all "sorry theres been a mistake. My payslip says you paid me $X for 40 hours of software development but actually you're mostly paying me to not be on a tropical island and to put up with Jeff. I demand Listening To Jeff and Not On Island be listed as line items of work performed."
Interestingly, if you like games Linux is by far a better OS than macOS.

Thanks to Valve's Proton, now most Windows games work flawlessly on Linux. When you install them from Steam, you don't even have to know they're Windows binaries, they just work.

> Are the sponsor parts really so bad? To me not only is it easy to skip

Well, yes. Skipping involves effort. If I wanted to engage my hands with the content, I would've opted for a book, not a video.

Anyway, actual sponsor parts I can stand. They're at least somewhat interesting, by virtue of being unexpected. Like, who is this video sponsored by this time? Or, why this well-known and otherwise respected science/technology video vlogger keeps advertising scummy VPN services?

What I can't stand is the "like and subscribe" dance. It's just completely mind-dumbing. Yes, I know you have a Patreon, it's in the video description. Yes, I know where the stupid "bell icon" is, I don't need unsolicited YouTube UI 101 lessons. No, I'm not going to click anyway, because I'm here for a particular video, not the whole channel.
My experience in cutting out all the junk like TV to make productive time for myself is that it wasn’t sustainable. I tend to work on side projects to amuse myself, but sometimes even when I am willing to hack on something, my brain is just too burned out. Remember not to overtax yourself; downtime and unproductive time isn’t just waste.

An Ultimate Guide to Git and GitHub
Say you buy a vacation home and want to be able to use it spontaneously. Then you have to put it on Airbnb for short-term rental, and have a property manager and cleaner. All that costs money. Then you have to pay taxes on that income. On top of that, you have to take on the whole risk yourself that the renters don't trash your house. Yes Airbnb has some program but they also have a great legal team to defend themselves from paying out.

For many people it just isn't worth it.
