I believe we in the west fail in creating a healthy and friendly society.
I mean today I saw a TV commercial about a state funded lottery. In this commercial a well known rich person sits in his small boat. Then suddenly a big yacht appears with a not so rich looking guy on it. Smiling and overlooking the small boat. Obviously a person who won the lottery. The message: bigger and richer is better.
Promoting this kind of mentality is not good for a respectful society.
I am not a pro China person. Not at all. I am all for a free world in which people can take their own responsibility. But is that possible when the government is showing bad education? I don't think so.
He doesn't talk only about the US.

Regarding your PS, how do you know what is "bad" and will be considered "bad" in the future? This is blind trust in your privileges. Also, there is nothing "anonymous" about mass surveillance.
the point is that speed doesn’t cause the accident, only makes it more severe. it doesn’t change casualty rates materially. what we want to reduce is the accident in the first place, and reducing speed doesn’t do that, only increasing driver attentiveness does that. once we better solve the attentiveness issue should we consider severity and speed’s contribution to it.
A few years some parents left their kid home alone while on vacation.

Neighbors knew family had gone vacation and saw movement at night.
Jumpy cop, dark house, sudden movement, dead kid...

Family got big payout, City dismantled the police department.
TLDs only controlled by local courts:

Austria (.at)
Germany (.de)
Iceland (.is)
Russia (.ru)

Of these, the blog simply makes the claim that Iceland has the "strongest laws for individuals". Of those, I probably would have guessed that - germany doesn't have a great rep, and Russia...well.

So I don't necessarily disagree; but there is absolutely no justification actually given for elevating Iceland, and including that would seem to be half the value of the blog post.
They also explain why, so no need to be confused.

U.S. + British + France GDP was 7 times bigger than Russia at end of the war. Western allied air supremacy ( including a nuclear monopoly ) would have obliterated Soviet logistics.

The West had the upper hand and Stalin knew it.
Cool seeing this on HN (again?). I’ve been using it for years and the domain is now hard coded in my brain. I don’t even bother writing cron expressions anymore. Thanks to the developer for providing this!
Movies and TV have a much bigger impact on this than ads. Ads in general are worse at changing opinions than most people think. They are better at getting people to act on what they already agree with.

So basically, "I only understand your problem in the most obtusely literal way possible."
Speaking only for myself, but... I have been playing +12h per day semi casually, taking non-scheduled brakes for weeks when it gets boring. For me it is more an escape than addiction. I do it because everything else sucks, not because I got symptoms if I don't play. I have real addictions and gaming is not one of them.
Hmm, my problem with Dark Souls like games is mostly that it becomes easy when you understand the mechanics, but immediately also starts to be annoying because now your biggest enemy is timing issues and enemies just materializing behind you.
Yep, that's the argument that seems to feel correct until your GPS data gets correlated with a crime and you end up in jail for something you didn't commit. It's happened already, it'll happen again. Or, like in Afghanistan right now- a government changes policy or makes new laws and then all of a sudden you've been a criminal all along and need to be punished.
I'm using the built in calendar application on windows. It's hidden under a hacky workaround, but it has caldav support. You have to add an icloud account, and then edit the server address in the settings afterwards.

Has worked flawlessly after that, and I like the integration with other parts of windows.
Different territories have different channel restrictions. As a result, some countries have access to channels that other countries do not. Setting your wifi up as if it is in Japan gives you a couple of channels you are not legally allowed to access in North America, for example.
IMO you need percussion to really show the capabilities of the speakers or headphones. Cymbals especially sound like mud on bad speakers.

WebCodecs has Mozilla and Microsoft coauthors: https://w3c.github.io/webcodecs/

WebGPU was chartered in 2017, with more Apple people in the initial membership than Mozilla or Google people: https://gpuweb.github.io/admin/cg-charter.html

Google specifically has approached Apple for input about scheduler.postTask(), and they say they've presented the proposal before at a working group that Apple is part of: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-June/0319...

I won't disagree that there's a ton that can be improved about the process, but it seems pretty unsubstantiated to claim that Google is "rushing forwards as fast as possible" given that they've been spending years working on these APIs in public. You can see from the rest of the post that they're running some experiments which they're specifically choosing not to enable by default, though they could.
> "I can easily see a situation arising where, for example, a young woman walking to a shop films a police officer holding his knee on a man’s neck, and a regulator, under government pressure, orders that video to be pulled off social media sites on the grounds that the young woman was not an accredited journalist, and that the violent video constitutes subjectively harmful content."

My worry is not that the government is unaware of this potential consequence of its regulations, but that it is fully aware and has designed the regulations to make these outcomes more likely.
To me, paper doesn't work for calendaring and to-do because it simply has no way to beep at you to tell you to get off your backside and get a piece of work done. I'm happy it works for others, but I simply need a digital solution for this.
That's true, I guess that is the beauty of an interdependent society.

I have this longing thirst to become as independent as possible but it just seems pointless considering how far we've advanced as a society.
But that makes it difficult for others to maintain it.
There's screens and screens, they can't be really lumped them into a single content.

I place TV at the absolute worst of the spectrum, so I don't have one. In addition to the tendentially trashy content, it is also typically used as babysitter, which contributes to the factor.

But there are also lots of interesting stuff to do with a screen; most importantly, they can be done together.
I am amazed that, in 2021, people who read HN are seeing ads.
Qt uses pimpl extensively to maintain binary compatibility: https://wiki.qt.io/D-Pointer
~3 years ago, and literally anything. I was trying to see if org-mode could serve as a long-term store of info (i.e. decades), so multi-OS and "likely to have other working implementations" or "can re-build by hand if necessary" was critical. Since then I've just settled on a pile of markdown/commonmark files that interlink when desired, and I'm pretty happy with that.

Everything essentially just said "use emacs, that's the only implementation and the only spec". So I tried orgzly for a bit (it's handy), but ultimately decided it's a "hard no" for things with only one impl.
Here's the thing. They are telling you they value these things as a signal. You as a candidate can be as frustrated as you want, but throwing a tantrum doesn't actually do anything.

I agree with you that writing in a non IDE and with no REPL is ridiculous. But... That's what they want. Clearly you aren't a fit for each other, why not leave it at that?
Not sure if they are, but I do know that the US Navy funded a lot of oceanographic research into predicting and understanding bioluminescence of marine organisms for this very reason. The surface waters of the North Atlantic have massive spring blooms of phytoplankton, which are sometimes bioluminescent, and could certainly give away the presence of a large subsurface vessel, possibly from space.
Can you share more details about that work? Curious as someone who works with Max and Csound regularly for personal musical projects but not in any sort of professional capacity.
Exactly. I want to let my kid experience something similar. So I gave him (6 years old) my desktop pc. He is now playing around with windows settings. Of course looking for games on Steam. But he at least doesnt touch his Nintendo switch anymore.
While it may be a higher initial investment, emacs doesn't enforce any key bindings, just sets defaults and many people rebind them. Nothing prevents you from creating or finding bindings of your suiting
I grew up on AOL's internet and it really wasn't that bad. The WWW was a lot different back then. Remember, this was even before Google! The article acts like AOL was some wasteland that the company never bothered to update.

AOL offered a lot of content, games, file sharing, chat, message boards, email, etc. that was difficult to get elsewhere for most people.

Our family (myself included) liked AOL enough that we continued to pay a reduced monthly fee to connect to their service over TCP/IP when the local ISP's started offering better connection options.

Because being dependent on Salesforce is so much better than being dependent on any other big proprietary corporation?
Having passed a few nights voluptuously after this manner, Fotis, on a certain day, ran to me, agitated and trembling exceedingly, and informed me that her mistress, because she had not hitherto made any proficiency in her amours, by other arts, would, on the following night, assume wings, and be changed into a bird, and would, thus transformed, fly to the object of her love. I cautiously, therefore, prepared myself for the survey of a thing of such importance. And now, towards the beginning of the night, Fotis brought me, with doubtful and silent steps, to that lofty chamber, and ordered me to look through a certain chink of the door, that I might see what was transacted. And, in the first place, indeed, Pamphile divested herself of all her garments, and having opened a certain small chest, took from thence many boxes, from one of which the covering being removed, she rubbed herself, for a long time, with an ointment contained in it, from the extremities of her feet to the crown of her head. When, also, with the lamp in her hand, she had said much in a low voice, she shook her limbs with a tremulous agitation; and from these, lightly fluctuating, soft feathers extend themselves, and strong wings burst forth, the nose is hardened and incurvated, the nails are compressed and made crooked, and Pamphile becomes an owl. Being thus changed, and emitting a querulous sound, she made a trial of herself, and gradually leapt from the earth; and soon after, being raised on high, she flew out of doors, with all the force of her wings. Thus she, indeed, was voluntarily changed, by her own magic arts.
...
[He wants to try!!]
she went into the bedchamber with great trepidation, and took out a box from the chest, which, I, having first embraced and kissed, and prayed that it would favor me with prosperous flights, hastily divested myself of all my garments, and having ardently put my hand into it, and taken from thence a sufficient quantity of the ointment, I rubbed with it the members of my body. And now, balancing my arms with alternate efforts, I longed to be changed into a similar bird. No plumes, however, nor any wings germinated, but my hairs became evidently thickened into bristles, my tender skin was hardened into a hide, and the extremities of my hands, all my fingers, having lost their number, coalesced into several hoofs, and a long tail proceeded from the extremity of my spine. My face was now enormous, my mouth was long, and my lips immoderate and pendant. Thus, also, my ears increase excessively, and were clothed with rough hairs. And while, destitute of all hope, I consider the whole of my body, I see that I am not a bird, but an ass!
Another problem is when so many people take a politician's words at face value. It simply doesn't work like that.
My arguments tend to sum to the fact that the ham radio bands are provided as an experimental space. I'm not advocating for anything that hasn't been tried before, in particular encryption is legal in other countries and hasn't caused any issues for them.
Reddit is a cesspool. On every level. It's hard to figure out who is worse. The every comment has to be woke 15 year olds. The conspiracy morons. The 50% of the site devoted to displaying videos of people at their worst so others can feel better about themselves. The Machiavellian admins trying to lord over their little fiefdoms.
Sorry for obvious reaction. Already burned by this. :-)
I just interviewed with 3 of the FAANGs, and they all had web-based code editors I could use.
Plenty of rural areas will only be serviced by a county sheriff, and there may not be that many officers. I grew up in a place like that. You could drive around forever where I grew up and never see a cop.
If you do enough daily crosswords you see a lot of the same words, especially ones that have atypical placement of vowels. Omaha. Utah. Juno. Mulberry.

I recall seeing "Charlie Chaplin's wife" ("Oona") almost once a month. Get yourself painted into a corner? Oona.

I'd say it was selection bias.
Also, not everyone will always be reigned by benevolent politicians. A malevolent politician could have interesting ideas on what to do with collected "anonymous" metadata.
Like a sibling comment said, the number of hours worked isn't tracked.

Downside: If you're oncall, you might have to stay up for 18 hours straight of something big goes wrong, and you won't get paid any overtime.

Multics Gets a New Release
I find functions etc fine. But the problem is a lot of code let's you go absolutely crazy with complex design patterns - and folks who like to be "engineers" and "architects" go totally nuts with these. There was a fad I think around OOP (maybe with Java) which then bled into a lot of places. Yes, you can do crazy stuff, generics, meta programming, reflections etc.

But for example, if go just beefed up the standard library (especially around data structures - give us everything - and common functions there) I think they could have pushed a bit longer in terms of holding off on generics.

ah, yes and no. You really can't know the internal workings of everything, it's not practical anymore.

in other words: you can stand up a web site in less than an hour that will handle enormous loads across the globe, but not if you pause to read all the library code that goes into it.

I have domains on a European ccTLD. This is what they "resolve to":

holder.............: Private person

registrar..........: Private person

The registrar's name (that's me) used to be visible but that changed with stronger privacy requirements, soon after GDPR.

European trademark & hate speech laws (plus dns blocking of various domains associated with pornography or piracy) probably still apply so .is could be a free-er choice.
I really don’t understand what people see in this game. It’s not bad, sure, but it’s almost a walking simulator.

Getting resources feels pretty grindy, and the abilities and leveling system feel lackluster to me.
I don't dispose of old devices that have had my data on them. I keep them in a box and occasionally scavenge parts from them.

It's not a path for everyone, of course, but it has a couple of really large benefits: much better security, and it keeps me from replacing devices (or acquiring new ones) unless I have an actual, real need to.
Yes, it's a widespread problem. Crafting code for maximum maintainability is often really important and often overlooked
I’m familiar…I spent most of my career trading for hedge funds.

“Off book” has a different meaning, which is why I asked.
How, then, is it that an iron curtain fell across Europe?

I wonder if those GDP numbers capture everything relevant to military advantage. The USSR produced as many tanks in a year and a half as Britain did throughout the whole war, despite having the same GDP.

Certainly it is true that with the nuclear monopoly the US had the upper hand; what we're discussing here is what Stalin would have believed if the bomb had remained secret, or perhaps only been demonstrated on uninhabited Pacific atolls, so the nuclear monopoly would not have figured into his calculations, or been a more theoretical factor. Or, more precisely, what Truman believed Stalin would have believed.
This reminds me a lot of Dark Sky from a year or two ago. It was my partner's favorite weather app... until Apple bought the company and promptly announced they were killing it.
Yeah, unfortunately this is fairly typical for Apple to not follow their own guidelines for their own apps that generate revenue for them (Google pays Apple for Safari search traffic). I'm hoping antitrust action focuses on this double standard.
Automation Limitations for Developers
All good points, but the main issue here is the government, in this case the CCP, dictating game play. It's the parent's responsibility to dictate when and how their children play games not the government.

If the government wants to go after game developers because their games are addictive that's one thing. Dictating to the players is a level of control free citizens should never experience. Although, in this case, citizens of China are hardly free in the first place.
"The 'publish or perish' mentality makes it easier to put blinders on when faced with something that's inconvenient."

I'd like to provide a competing take on this.

In my experience, it's the job of the peer reviewers to force the authors to test alternative hypotheses, especially if it's something obvious or inconvenient. I once published a methods paper, where the reviewers got aggrieved I didn't mention a complementary, but mostly unrelated, method in my discussion. At first I was annoyed, because it was OBVIOUS to me that their objection was flippant.

However, once I thought about it, I realized that the reviewer was probably representative of the audience that's going to read my paper. Their criticism while tiresome was entirely valid. So I sat down and spent a week coding a series of experiments that showed how the two methods (mine, and theirs) were different and how they could complement each other. That translated into a paragraph in the discussion section and a couple of supplementary figures, and overall a better paper.

So to go back to the original point of the GP ("maybe things got left out because they are obvious"):

Obvious things, unless it's something really trivial, are only obvious to the authors of the paper. If you expect an educated reader to raise an obvious/natural objection, you should really address it in your text head on. And if you don't, then hopefully the peer review will catch it.

PS

This is not meant to be a commentary on the paper linked in this thread. I have not read it, and have no opinion on it. I just wanted to opine on the general topic of peer review and whether "obvious" things should go into an academic paper.
Because one is forcing people to do something while the other is letting people choose for themselves.
73% of Chinese people consider their government to be democratic. Only 49% of Americans said the same of their government.

The Chinese Communist Party is seen as a meritocracy within China, which draws on an ancient tradition of bureaucracy. It's hard for Americans to understand.

> basically on every commercial production Linux system

That comment rubs me the wrong way. To mirror the sibling, there's a lot outside the Linux+SystemD world - even your firewall probably doesn't use systemd (or linux for that matter, if you're in a professional environment), and neither does Alpine, that runs docker containers. (And love it or hate it, docker is in a lot of commercial production stuff.)

It's safer to be a cop than to be a roofer or deep sea fisherman. Cops need to stop being such wusses. If they don't like the job, find another one but don't rationalize their ridiculous over-use of force as justified.
See also: manual transmission ICE cars. I’m hoarding so I never have to give up the satisfaction of skillfully operating a complex mechanical device through fine muscle control and sensory feedback. Loaded a roll of black-and-white film in my Pentax ME Super just yesterday. Might go take some manually-focused photos of my cars.
Not to be too snarky, but EMTs don't carry morphine. Restricted substances like morphine are only carried by paramedics (or some AEMTs in systems that still have them). As such, paramedics are dispatched to calls that require a higher level of care while ambulances staffed solely with EMTs are sent to less emergent situations. This lines up pretty well with what the GP described.

This is in reference to American standards of care, other countries may be different.
