But why not just say if a person is a man or a woman, why does it have to be pronouns. When I see pronouns, I then assume they believe in an ideology where people can actually change sex and basic reality is denied. Where people can simply declare the reality they want, and force others to play along. Why does everyone have to play along with this ideology, aka, the pronoun game.
I love everything about them except their sub-par laptop hardware. They are apparently working on their own design (instead of just re-branding Clevo), but they need to get that thing out already. I’m waiting as long as I can to buy a new laptop, but I can’t wait forever.
I have a really similar motivation behind a project that aims to teach Jetpack Compose in the same fashion and funny enough, the name is also pretty similar to the title of this thread - Learn Jetpack Compose By Example. You can find it here - https://github.com/vinaygaba/Learn-Jetpack-Compose-By-Exampl...

There's a ton of comments in every example (even though they might be redundant across the examples) and the idea is that you should be able to learn this new framework by merely reading through the examples.
You need to prove a completely subjective thing -- not liking someone's shoes? Makes no sense.

This is not a problem inherent to rail systems or travel. This is a symptom of the poor state of the US rail system.
Yup, the rate limiter comments are unhelpful. A top level comment explaining the idea is fine (and very useful) but code should largely be self documenting.
If you can’t say how your solution will:

1) increase independence or freedom

2) lower costs to the users

3) improve self-sufficiency

4) improve competition between businesses

5) provide better service without sacrificing any of the above

Subjectivity is the point of those words. People need only agree that they are true, rather than agree upon why it is true, since it is meant to make people feel good about their decision. As for those who disagree, they don't really matter since they are not the target audience.
That prognosis strikes me as odd since so much social change occurs form organizing, communicating, writing and debating. All activities that benefit tremendously - incomparably! - from the internet.

DoD applications break all the time though!

Yes, even weapons consoles! I served on a submarine whose fire control system would literally crash and reboot if we encountered a situation that was especially frequent for the class of boat I was on. We worked around it, like the users always do, but please do not confuse 'DoD unique requirements' with 'Etsy can't do this'.

> You can't do the same thing with a weapons platform control module. You need to test the hell out of it and know for certain it works, in every possible edge case. Releases to production are heavily gated for a very good reason.

Do you really think Etsy doesn't run tests?

Let me tell you as someone who has run reactor restart procedures a hundred times on a real live submarine, really under the water when the reactor was scrammed: the best way to get good at something is to do it a lot. Whether that's starting up a reactor, or deploying to production.

It’s not only not limited to Texas, you can be sued if your acts aided or abetted an abortion IN Texas. It’s also retroactive, so if you can show that someone used a website at any point to help them get an abortion, you have at least the nominal structure to sue. If you win, you win your legal costs plus 10k. If you lose, the defendant can’t sue you back to recover the legal costs.
It’ll be self-hostable too. I need to be clear about that on the homepage. Thanks for your question.
There are hundreds of local policies that states don't touch, including things related to collecting and spending taxes.

If everyone in Texas voted, it might have avoided this situation. You vote when it's hopeless until it isn't anymore.

It seems more than an internal opinion or rumor:

https://www.oregon.gov/odot/DMV/pages/vehicle/vehicletypes.a...

It has it's own section: "Kei Vehicles/Mini-Trucks"

"Many of these vehicles can be imported. They can be titled in Oregon, but cannot get registration because they were not primarily manufactured for U.S. roads or highways."

Perhaps it is still arbitrary, not supported by a specific regulation (but I don't know that). Still, they aren't hiding their unwillingness to register them.

I do a lot of work with print lately and manual kerning has been a revelation to me.

I use to go through hundreds of typefaces like going through hundreds of photos on Tinder and think ‘they all suck’ but then I started adjusting the letter spacing and now I ‘love the one I’m with’.

I recently developed an unofficial corporate identity for my workplace (improving signage) that uses serif fonts. All the other signs use sans-serif which is half because it fits the modernist building and half because people don’t know how to do the manual kerning it takes to make serif fonts pop.

That said I have felt no need to kern for the web and have no desire since it will certainly go bad if the user isn’t seeing the typeface I want them to see.

What you call an originalist, is what I call a legal historian/linguist.

The judiciary is not there to write law. Only to interpret what is written. An Originalist would do research on the era any piece of legislation, statute, or case law was decided to ensure that the meaning and intent of it through the lense of that time period is still honored.

Without doing that, it's virtually guaranteed that within a few centuries, your language will have drifted so far away from the original intent or way of life rendered by the text would become meaningless.

Think of it like getting the source code for a program that references external libraries. You can't run it now, because things have changed, among them, society's API's and symbols have as well.

An Originalist is someone that goes back and attempts to reconstruct the "societal runtime" of that time to ensure we're not applying the statute in a way that may make sense from a modern point of view, but runs completely counter to the intent and spirit in which the law was actually made.

It makes complete sense once you've been handed code that you can't find the source to the dependencies of and have to figure out a way to get it to work.
> I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, your concern is unless you have it physically you can't say you own something.

No, that's not what I'm saying. You can obviously lend something and it still belongs to you even though someone else possesses it.

I'm saying that if something has previously belonged to someone else, it will not be yours until and unless either (a) its existing owner, or (b) a valid legal procedure actually transfers the ownership. Moreover, until that is the case, you cannot take possession of it without the consent of the owners, and doing so would not make you its owner. Furthermore, a mere contract that you would be paid $X by Y time does not imply you will be the owner of $X of the payer's money at Y time (nor earlier). It is merely a promise to transfer ownership, which may or may not occur due to numerous reasons both inside and outside the employer's control. Just like how a stock option is a promise to transfer stock, not a grant of ownership of the stock, and just like how that has nothing to do with your physical possession of anything.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to write a contract that actually grants you ownership of some funds by a certain time, but I'd bet no employer would agree to that. Precisely because it would have quite different legal implications than merely a promise of payment.

I get the feeling the confusion here is that you're conflating moral ownership with legal ownership. That you have a moral right to something and that there exists a legal procedure to grant you ownership doesn't mean you are the legal owner before that procedure occurs.
I do agree that Sweden is good at PR when it comes to green policies, but I can’t really agree on all your claims.

Cycling neglected? I guess it depends where you live in Sweden but in my city they have added much more bike paths (cykelväg) for several years. It exist regional funds that a kommun can apply for to build more bike paths.

Alternative transport? Like what?

Sweden has been bad on expanding regional train capacity and instead focused on country wide prestige projects like the high speed rail when most commuters travel regional.

Costs for roads will increase as long as population increases are as high as today. That is unavoidable. And seems like the Green Party is all in favor of massive population increase regardless of environmental consequences.

Ask HN: What are you doing to kill the car?
Seriously, I think that the personal automobile was our specie's biggest mistake. Whether it's climate change, noise pollution, or death from automobile accidents, cars are no doubt a problem. The technology of cars got our urban (and honestly even suburban) areas into this problem. What tech are you working on to get us out of this problem?

No- that private property rights are consistent with the libertarian quote above because it's voluntary.

You can argue what truly voluntarily slavery would look like in a modern world, but involuntary chattel slavery is what conflicts with principles of private property.

I'd argue things like athletes signing away future percentages of potential earnings (which was a fairly popular idea until the current NCAA name and likeness rules changed) would be one potential version.
Less false positives, thanks. I think it's now matching previous owners.

I imagine no one actually wants to use the web interface to manually scan on a day to day basis.

My advice is a few cached queries that are really fast that show how this works, custom image upload for people to try out to test if it actually works, and then selling an automated scanning service with alerting for the projects that are looking for copycats.
Yes, it's exactly like that, but not in the way you think.

One side is a small-but-vocal minority making silly arguments. "how to detect direct piping to bash in order to serve malware"? An attacker who tries to serve different things to different people will easily be caught, and a simple diff will highlight their exploit. A much more robust attack strategy is to serve the same malware to everyone but obfuscate it. Make the vulnerability look like an innocent bug, and you have plausible deniability. This same attack works for every approach to software distribution, it's not unique to curl|bash.

The vast majority of pragmatic people just don't think there's an issue here, don't find these arguments convincing, and don't care to argue about it. I run the Sandstorm project, which uses curl|bash, and this issue really hasn't impacted adoption. Our users aren't naive, they understand what curl|bash is, but they also recognize that obviously by installing our software they are giving us arbitrary code execution. Users who don't trust us install Sandstorm in a separate VM -- the only reasonable way to run software you are suspicious of.
More and more I feel these huge comment blocks with the following inline comments sprinkled everywhere should really be a separate documentation file with its own structure where anyone not familiar enough can get up to speed, and understand the core principles behind the code written here.

For instance in the firecracker example, they don’t write 3 pages of block comments to explain the token bucket algorithm (or do they?), as anyone could go read the wikipedia article instead.

Comments living with the code have their benefits, but here I can’t imagine these huge comment blocks or algorithm related warnings get revised anytime outside of project wide refactoring.

What we also miss by having these comments inlined is the higher perspective of how it works with the other classes or how it fits in their running context. Anything that spans multiple class and/or methods makes it difficult to decide where to put the info and what scope it should have. People usually end up explaining the same things at 3 or 4 places in sublty different ways, which makes no one happy.

An exemple of that, this struct description

> /// TokenBucket provides a lower level interface to rate limiting with a
/// configurable capacity, refill-rate and initial burst.

This comment is hinting at a sequence where ‘TokenBucket’ needs to be a configurable lower level interface. But what is that sequence, what needs it to be lower level, is there higher level interfaces ? I’ll sure end up spelunking the rest of the doc to get answers to that.
Well, I get your somewhat nostalgic attitude. But back then, computing equipment was also way large, louder, and energy consuming. Heck, one of the "museum" disk drives we have at work used to make the light flicker in the lower floor if you powered it on. So yeah, we're past a certain point of repairability. Thats sad, but more a function of progress, not really something we can do about.

But that doesnt mean all our existing tech will emit the magic smoke in the next few months. The endless need for more computing power is mostly driven by software bloat. We could extend the current smartphone and gadget usefulness by a significant amount of time if we stopped to fall for constant featurism and did lets say, a year or two of cleanup. Sure, "the future" like AR and such will have to wait, but heck, this "we will sell you 3d" thing is around since the 80s and didnt take of in the mainstream yet, so what?
The British model, where the state owns the rails but the train services are private, seems to work a lot better than the US model which is the opposite.

He's talking about how you contract for additional staff to help with developing digital products.

Typically the way government does this is by not contracting for staff at all, but instead contracting for a company to develop a software product that meets a long laundry list of requirements. Since 'agile' is in the DoD zeitgeist these contracts often throw in some agile buzzwords like "Story points" instead of "work breakdown structure", or split up the product into some kind of phased delivery scheme. Sometimes they'll throw in to do user-centered design.

But invariably these contracts lay out the same thing: develop a product that meets X requirements. This means you have to know the requirements. You can't instead hire smart people to help explore a problem space, do interviews and experiments to determine whether you've achieved product-market fit (or what we'd call mission-market fit), and only then to start fielding a digital product in increments.

This is considered a 'services contract' and these are frowned upon because they seem ripe for fraud ("you paid BigCo $40 million a year to do 'market research and product discovery'????? What did they discover? Why couldn't it have been $20M instead??").

TL;DR: The type of services you'd contract for are different for a modern digital product compared to a waterfall-style project. Even though DoD says we're doing agile, the reality is that the contracting system still pushes you hard to waterfall because no one seems to have the expertise to do 'agile acquisition'.
I think you can self host with the browser extension, yeah. Personally I just use the standard hosting because I don’t have a good way to self-host but it shouldn’t be tied to any particular host.

We ship in lots of perishable agricultural products that in terms of value per weight or value per container are much cheaper than flowers, they are in the same ballpark as fruit and berries.

I recall some UK study claiming that even purely in terms of carbon footprint it's more effective to fly in greens from south rather than heat up greenhouses to grow them locally during winter.
Eh, it's the same. The price floor is just different.

Chicken is dirt cheap, like $2/kg wholesale. Price of air freight is about the same on large long contracts and twice of that over the counter. Hauling chicken two ways will increase a final product price at least threefold. Sorry, I can't believe it.

Some even consider the financial rape of divorce.

And quantitatively speaking, surely there is some amount of money, which when lost in divorce, is tantamount to the original definition of rape.

(That is, a thought experiment whereby a person might decide a certain amount of money is worth the allowance/aversion of rape of the said bargainer-- such a threshold is different for each person but arguably represents an approximation of a financial quantification of rape-- which, perhaps that amount of money, when lost in divorce, can thereby arguably be considered financial rape)

Especially given that in public health administration, life and health is quantified in monetary terms.
