Fortunately, murder is a rare occurrence - so only trusting this isn't going to help much unless you live in a major US city.

The murder rate in most areas of the US is under 5 in 100,000.

There's less than 50 police departments in the US where you can expect even 50 murders per year. With numbers that small, you'll run into a lot of noise.
Wow, Horde has really come a long way since I last glanced in its direction. Looks like the "groupware" distribution ticks every box from tFA except for notes being sharable over WebDAV...
Interesting, I was surprised to see this presented as an African American originating game as it's been widely played for generations all over Canada.
> Not allowing encryption makes amateur radio of very little use in emergencies.

I can't even imagine what would require encryption ... maybe PII medical traffic under some peculiar artificial scenario and most pessimistic possible HIPPA interpretation?

Now remember, that the stereotype of ham radio emcom is people roll up with no idea how to program their HT to the correct frequencies so they can't even participate. So demanding everyone participate in a GPG WoT or join a Kerberos domain to share encryption keys is an absolute non-starter. If the general public cannot participate without extensive preparation before the event, it means its not part 97 emcom, its just a poor low budget imitation of part 90, its not part 97 operation at all. Why not get GMRS licenses?

Remember there is the perpetual battle in emcom between the people who think "provide emergency communications" applies to Big Brother despite his infinite budget outclassing any possible Ham response, vs the people who think emergency communications is for the people or the general public or even for the individual. Both sides like to denigrate the other side, unfortunately.

So consider I was listening to a rando ham "involuntary storm chaser" report a tornado sighting to the NWS a couple weeks ago. How, in that scenario does encryption help? By making it impossible for the ham to talk to the NWS station because they never shared keys in advance or they shared the 2020 keys and not the 2021 keys? By making it impossible for the general public to hear the tornado report they would be safer not knowing?

Consider something topical, like the hurricane in NO. A rando member of the general ham radio public reports hurricane related flooding. The value encryption provides is making it impossible for the ham radio operator to talk to people to make the report, and encryption also makes it impossible for the general ham radio public to help. "Real ham radio emcom" situation he'd just dial up the repeater and talk to net control and make his report and move on with life. Somehow encryption would help, but ... how?

Edited to add:

> There are lots of "telecommand" use cases that aren't to satellites, too.

I forgot to agree with you on that. Repeater control links and the like.

When I tried Idagio about a year ago their catalogue consisted of “second rate” labels for a large part. There was some DG/Harmonia Mundi/Sony but mostly releases by lesser known labels. Is that still the case?
As with all sufficiently large organizations of people there are leaders of the organization. The leaders represent the members and sometimes some members disagree with the leadership. Are you suggesting that no organization of people ought to advocate for a political position unless x% of the membership specifically advocates for this? Are you opposed to corporate lobbying? It’s not as if every stock holder of Apple gets a say on how Apple lobbies and gets involved in the political process.
> perhaps except that the contractor may have to provide me with the source code if this was not otherwise stipulated.

They wouldn't have the right to otherwise stipulate. The contractor can't change the license to the software without losing the license to the software. Even if they were distributing a modified version to a single customer, that customer would have the right to the source. That customer, using it internally, wouldn't have the obligation to distribute any of the source or changes but they would have the right to.

Otherwise, you could just sell software as a "contractor" in name only to any number of customers, and effectively relicense it with "stipulations."
Okay, I desire to run the software on the hardware that I literally bought to run it.
Hold on haha, put away your snark.

Just because someone doesn’t participate in the stock market doesn’t mean they’re “cash holders for life” - people do participate in real estate and accrue other assets. I would be stunned if those 48% of people were just stuffing cash in couch cushions. Not to mention why would we exclude 401(k)s?

57% of Americans don’t have a spare $500. [1] This sounds a suspicious amount like 48% + 5%. Give or take. The un-banked aren’t unbanked because bank accounts are inaccessible. They’ve got nothing to put in them.

They’re not “lifelong cash holders” they’re broke. Cash non-holders if you will.

So basically anyone with money invests it, and most people are hand-to-mouth broke.

What exactly are they saving or investing? This is a fundamental social policy issue and not something you’re going to solve with blockchain magic.

There is nothing objective about art anyway.

I agree with you, though. There is something in these. Some kind of motion. Some kind of primitive, wild instincts as well. As if a bear had found a camera, and he were more interested by ladies than about anything else.

I would kindly disagree and say that it's better to learn the pronunciation rules and practice producing them. There is a lot of research around learning that production and testing are better for learning (and also why is easier to understand than speak). Specifically, to train pronunciation, the anki decks from the author of the book Fluent Forever are incredible.

If you are a terrible driver, you can certainly make your individual odds of accident a lot worse than the average case, but I'm not sure being a good driver improves your odds by that much. A lot of the risks are totally out of the driver's control (e.g., other road users, equipment, weather etc..).
The Slack/reddit ban and the grotesque doxxing accusations are exactly why these conversations must happen in the open. Your histrionic replies to both the GitHub issue and the comments here are just further proofs for me that I should never touch anything elementaryos related.

You failed epically and instead of issuing a mea culpa you just doubled down for the whole world to see.
He ruled the Soviet Union, which

A) Consisted mainly of Russia and Russians, and

B) is claimed as predecessor by the current Russian regime.

It's not as if Georgia ever claimed Crimea, Siberia, and the Baltic states on the premise that "They were once ruled by Stalin, a Georgian, so they belong to us".

It's hard to say if your desperate non-sequiturs in defense of the kleptocratic Russian goon regime are more funny than pathetic or more pathetic than funny.
What were you suggesting?
We suffer this here. Toronto has roughly 40 - 80 murders each year. So each year comes with helpful headlines informing us the homicide rate has halved or doubled over the previous year, often with some commentary about what this regression/progression indicates for our society. If you average over a few years, you find out it's basically flat.
If you can't readily demonstrate ability to write a simple function but insist on getting hired as a developer you are, by definition, overestimating your ability as software developer, because you can't code.

If you need to grind to be able to write code you are doing something wrong. Like spending too much time at work copying code from stack exchange or relying on running your code to tell you if it is correct.

Show HN: Chic-modules – a styled-like API for working with CSS-modules
Hello HN,

I've been fiddling with this side-project for a couple of weekends now.

It's a styled-like api for working with projects that use css-modules. I'm not trying to add anything new or solve any of the discussions in the traditional css vs css-in-js debate, but my thoughts are, if you're going to use css-modules anyway - why not try this!

I think it's in a pretty feature-rich and stable, but very early, state so I'm just looking to get some eyes on the project and gather some impressions!

If you have the time to give it a look through, or you attempt to build something with it, I'd love to hear about your thoughts.

Thanks,

eels
The dose makes the poison.

Emphasizing the physical effects of alcohol, and reducing the mental effects of any human computer interaction to “watching and interacting with pixels on a screen” isn’t the right way to go about it.

There’s a difference between checking your feed and doom scrolling, there’s a difference between playing fortnite with friends, maybe even a little too late into the night, and compulsively grinding.

The dose makes the poison.
I agree with all of this and have seen many of the same dynamics in my career, but it just doesn't seem like this mystical mind altering eureka thing that a lot of people seem to make it out to be. To me it's more like, oh good, here are some more useful techniques that help get stuff done sometimes.
You’re moving the goalposts.

Whether or not Robinhood gamifies trading, or encourages gambling, has absolutely nothing to do with PFOF.

This is definitely not true. I've been contracting for 6 years in London, and am currently in an inside IR35 role, and have quite a few friends in the same space but in frontend/devops and its all the same. The differnce is atleast 2x for senior/lead engineers in golang or python.

There's the same system in France.

As GP says, it's because taking an employee on an indefinite contract is a huge responsibility, and you basically can't fire them unless they set your office on fire.

In France, there's a huge temp ecosystem that was built because of that. Companies don't hire developers, they subcontract to temp agencies for limited time. The advantage for them is if they need to downsize their team, they can simply terminate the contract without risking liability.

The temp agency obviously takes a big cut on the developer's salary, until (at least in my individual experience) the developer decides to fuck off and do contracting directly instead and starts thinking, you know what, the French job market for developers sucks, I should probably send resumes to american companies instead.
Some cron-like libraries, like Quartz Job Scheduler, actually have a seconds number first! That bit me once when I was trying to schedule something to occur every 5 minutes, and ended up running it every five seconds...

It makes sense. Motorcycles are unforgiving in terms of safety features and attract disorganized and reckless people like flies to light.

Successful pilots are the opposite personality. They tend to be adventurous in terms of seeking experiences but are able to embrace following strict rules.

It's just sandboxing taken to the extreme. The idea of freestanding (meaning requiring nothing more than the hardware to run) applications isn't anything new, in fact it's how all old applications worked! And doing it this way gives you a lot more control over the execution environment. Though, from a certain point of view it's starting to look more and more like we're just making an operating system who's components are separated by IP address space instead of traces through silicon.

Rdfind is the logical evolution of fdupes. Not only faster but also more clever. This does not mean that fdupes is a bad tool at all, but rdfind can do things that fdupes can't.

Example. For fileX.txt being X=1 to 10000 you have three copies of each archive in:

mydir/file-X.txt

mydir/subdir/file-X.txt and

mydir/subdir/copy/file-X.txt.

Fdupes would delete random files in mydir/, mydir/subdir/ and mydir/subdir/copy/. You would end with the remaining files scattered by all the directory tree. A mess with three incomplete copies.

Rdfind correctly guess that what most people would want is to remove entirely all files in two of the directories and keep one copy (files and tree-dir) intact. So it wipes the inner subdirs in a predictable way and keeps the outer dir intact. This is a terrific feature able to disentangle one tree directory cloned and nested into the original copy without distroying it, like in this case:

a/b/c/d/files00X.txt

a/b/a/b/c/d/files00X.txt
But it is the first step if you need a report written.
I don't know anything about NYC, but, normally, a police report actually involves the police writing down some names. So, one lives in a high crime area and one notices that the police are no longer around, one has strong incentives not to go on the record about this or that crime.
The Axiom of Choice is one of the most controversial things in mathematics. There are many people who choose to work without it. I'll give a statement of it here:

The Cartesian product of non-empty sets is itself non-empty.

The Cartesian product of sets S_1, S_2, S_3, ... is of course the set of tuples (s_1, s_2, s_3, ...) such that s_1 ∈ S_1, s_2 ∈ S_2, s_3 ∈ S_3, ... . An element of the Cartesian product is a tuple with one element drawn from each of the sets being, um, Cartesianly multiplied.

Thus, the Cartesian product of the three sets {1, 4}, {a, b}, and {@, 2} is the set {(1,a,@), (1,a,2), (1,b,@), (1,b,2), (4,a,@), (4,a,2), (4,b,@), (4,b,2)}.

The Cartesian product of the three sets {1, 4}, {}, and {@, 2} is {}, the empty set, because no tuples exist such that the second element of the tuple belongs to the set {} (the second Cartesian factor).

So all the Axiom of Choice asserts is that, if all of the Cartesian factors are nonempty, then a tuple exists with one element drawn from each of the Cartesian factors. The only way for it to be impossible for such a tuple to exist is if one of the factors itself has no elements.

It's a theorem for finite Cartesian products, so all the dispute is over infinite products.

It's probably also worth mentioning that the C in ZFC stands for the Axiom of Choice, which is an indicator that people have explored not using it. ZFC without the Axiom of Choice is ZF.

I wrote my own Notes app, for much of the same reason: I want to control the data, and keep it local on the device (not synced to a cloud service).

The major feature that was lacking with the built-in Notes app is a folder hierarchy. When I have ideas about software I want to code, hardware I want to build, or a shopping list, or a band I want to check out - I don't want these to all be stored in one long "Notes (723)" news feed where I'll forget it if I don't handle it immediately.

Back in the days of the iPod (call me old), it was easy to have a folder hierarchy for Notes (though I admit that they weren't editable). There were third-party apps like Check Off that would sync a to-do list automatically, but only as a single file. When the iPhone arrived, iTunes gained the ability to sync Notes, but only as a flat folder structure. It's true that SQL doesn't have folder hierarchy so it's harder to code, but I'd rather categorise ideas like they come in my mind!

Apple removed the feature of local Notes sync in Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks. Calendars stuck around a little longer, but I moved to BusyCal when the GUI was redesigned in 10.10. Currently I'm using Mac OS Server 5.6 on Mac OS 10.13 to host a local calendar and email server.

Apple removed Calendars and Contacts from Mac OS Server in Mac OS 10.14 Mojave. The recommended replacement is CalendarServer, Copyright (c) 2005-2017 with a note that says "The developers ... have each moved on to other projects". Apple recommended this in December 18, 2019 according to the "Published date".

I think we need a lookup table of marketing speech to real-world performance metrics. Blazingly fast has been showing up a lot lately.

The cynical side of me wants to know what features and safety checks a "blazingly fast" tool has not implemented that the older "glacially slow" tool it is replacing ended up implementing after all the edge conditions were uncovered.
"Murders up by 156%!!" (i.e. 20 more than last year)
FWIW, this is addressed in the article and the paper it covers: the slowdown involved reduced "proactive policing" -- "systematic and aggressive enforcement of low-level violations" -- but the observed drop is in major crimes like burglary and assault. The authors also do some work to control for the overall crime reporting rate.

We do it by paying attention to how the kid's doing with it, and going through a cycle. He'll periodically get sucked too far into the YouTube (or ...) swamp, and we'll notice that he's more difficult to deal with, less interested in other pursuits, and is moodier and just generally having a harder time.

We'll have a tough conversation where we lay out the situation, he'll melt down but will eventually accept that it's not working out, and we'll impose temporary restrictions until it feels like things are more under control. He'll quickly realize that going halfway is way too hard, and will regulate himself to a level much stricter than what we imposed.

Then there's a fairly long honeymoon period where he's getting some exposure but not too much. Eventually the beast slowly takes over again, and we repeat.

It's not fun, it's ugly to watch, it's hard to do, but it feels like it's working. As in, I truly believe he's learning better self regulation than I've ever had, and for better reasons.
