It's duck typed but it's not based on a funky and limited syntax, but rather types at comptime become normal arguments to functions that you can then inspect using normal Zig code.

There's probably a note from the last time you berated a cop. You are reaching...
I feel obliged to point out that, despite submitting this link, I think this is factually in the same territory as climate change denial. It is railing against "elite, globalist, leftists" who are, for unstated reasons, undermining society with their hospitals and schools and vaccines and stuff.

I just find it fascinating, and wonder how much is knowingly telling a story that they know some people want to hear, and how much is constructing a complicated justificaton for their pre-existing beliefs because their political philosophy simply had no answer to "How do you deal with a viral pandemic?".
I'm not a lawyer.

There are more- and less- formal restrictions on how long they can detain you, but my mental model is just that they can detain you for basically any reason --- it is not my claim that there are magic words that can get the police to go away, or to stop asking you questions, and you might just have to put up with it until they get tired of you.

The next step, though, where they trundle you off to a police station for interrogation --- that's an arrest. It's a big deal. Actual cause is needed.
"John or Jane Doe, aka 'ac309' on Instagram".

This is a solved problem. Police get subpoenas to services to release identifying information regularly.

This place ain't racist, it's merely a coincidence that the top of the Forbes 500 is very light skinned, and every president but one is the same. Let's also not think about how the next president we elected after the black one famously spread rumors questioning the black presidents birthplace, before running for office and winning.

Coincidence I tell you.

If anybody decides to make a movie in which an asteroid is gently pushed slightly off course by mild-mannered people who don't scream at each other constantly, I promise to go watch it. I've become rather inured to explody flicks at this point.

Not having a social media presence is probably highly suspicious too. Or at least it will be soon.
Most of the clean hydrogen production schemes I've seen are pipe dreams or scams, but happy to be shown something here.

As a point of ref we have relatively clean electricity generation already (hydro, solar, wind, nuclear) depending on what you count.

Any indication how close to production this east china sea resource is? How willing China is to let Japan develop it or is it already well developed? Again - these are often pipe dream type ideas.
Do you have more info on that? I haven't heard of any repercussions
Which one do you mean if you remember? There are McDonald's everywhere in Lyon.
My local airport is so small that they don't process security until half an hour before boarding. We have one "gate", and the planes we get can hold 50 people when full.

I have Precheck (always marked on the boarding pass and I assume it shows up on their screen when I scan it), and what happens is the person at the podium notes it and lets his colleagues down the line know. I get a card, and show it to the person handling the body scanner, at which point they send me through the metal detector instead. There isn't much difference when it comes to the bag scanning (if any).
work is the thing i have the least control over.

the most interesting job gets grinded down by process, by toxic co-workers, bully bosses, unrealistic expecatations and pressures, dealing with shitty "customers" (be them internal employees or external to the company).

my wife, my kid, hiking, camping, hitting the beach, listening to music, going to a concert, watching a movie, reading a book, gardening, yard/house projects, having my cat sit on my lap ..are all infinitely more rewarding than any piece of shit job could ever be.
After self hosted compiler and package manager what are the big ticket items blocking 1.0 (other than fixes for a lot of the stuff that is broken)?
Sorry, but as someone who knows little about U.S politics and lobbying there, I don't understand how you are putting Tesla and "the right to repair" in a single sentence. What will you do if the electronics in Tesla fails? What will you do if the motor fails? Battery? You won't be able to fix that on your own.

Teslas can be only repaired in a professional shop, whereas Toyotas can be fixed by a moderately skilled individual in a private garage. You can order all the parts for Toyota online and do everything from engine rebuild to any kind of maintenance.
The no-fly list isn't really a background check. It's just a simple name match, and it catches people who aren't on it because of that. An interview (like nexus or customs) also isn't a background check. These are three separate things. Everyone gets a check on the no-fly list, some people get advance background checks (Pre and programs like it I'd expect), and fewer still get an actual interview (international travellers who also have to supply a passport).

Having a unique ID number tied to other information about you (like your license ID number or passport number or SSN) allows for a more in depth check, no doubt in ways you probably don't even explicitly consent to.

If they did have your ssn or passport number from the airline at ticket purchase time then sure, that would allow for the same thing. But they don't. And if they did it'd be pretty expensive to do it for everyone. So, the current solution is basically just to make (some) people pay for their own background check.
It turns out that a car that is good for consumers is almost never good for GM. Who could blame GM for scrapping a $20K car with $4K margin or a $40K car with $5k margin when they can use their resources to build a $30K car with $12K margin or a $65K truck with $30K margin?

Innovation is cute and everything. But profit is king.
That's cute.

I haven't said anything meaningful about politics.

What I said, perhaps a bit too abruptly to be well understood, was "the use of a non-meaningful piece of slang that is almost entirely held by a specific group of poorly informed folks is a red flag that any attempt to discuss politics will end in a likely mix of muh jerbs and dumbocrats."

The phrase "leftist" properly applies to a group of people who essentially haven't existed in the United States in around 80 years.

It would be like if someone went to a baseball stadium and started calling people soccer hooligans. That is not a person from whom to learn sports.

Thanks for the attempt at a table turn. You've been a delight

Can you just compile arbitrary programs to work in web assembly now? This is super cool!
Probably not. I do think it was less courageous than it might have been in calling out issues on both sides - I think it could have emerged with no side happy but possibly with more respect.
Would that be true in 10 years time when Netflix has been churning out content at its current rate and cost?
In Tennessee myself and it is only just now getting to a temperature/humidity that is bearable to be outdoors.

March spring hits and the pollen is crazy until June and by then it's too hot to really be outside without tree cover from 9am-8pm until around now.

My area is one of the worst pollen places in the country. You owe it to yourself before moving to look at a pollen map as well.
Choosing is the same as not knowing.

> BBC ceased being universal and viewed as legitimate when it delved into politics and political issues. PBS in the US made the same mistake.

I've been watching a bit of PBS Newshour recently (easy, since full episodes are on Youtube), and if it's done that, it's done it to a far lesser extent than the commercial cable networks.

Also, you can't have a good news program without "delv[ing] into politics and political issues." Often times when I see similar criticism, the real issue is the programming is not 100%-yourside inoffensive, but you won't get that from anything that's not Yourside-Pravda.
> But that only seems to move the problem of what it actually is somewhere else, to some mysterious "mind stuff".

That's true, but a rejoinder would be that anything fundamental is going to be mysterious. Why do fields, particles or quantum mechanics exist?

Consciousness might be an emergent property from matter, but it's difficult to give a reductive account of that. The alternative is strong emergentism, which is just as mysterious as panpsychism. Why would something entirely new not logically entailed by the prior physics emerge at some point in the universe's history?
I don't think that's necessarily true. National broadcasters have created great television. They can compete just fine.

They can't, or shouldn't, compete, is just an opinion.

TopGear and Schitts creek come immediately to mind of great successes.
Time to check mine, I suspect it has such a feature since it hasn’t broken in ten years without removing debris :)
So looking it up based on that, the source is Tim Pat Coogan, born 1935, and the USSR did make a deal with the IRA.
Thats the worst. The moment the problem flips from "whats wrong with this code?" to "Why does this even work?" and you learn how little you really know.
If a police officer has given you a life changing injury simply for refusing to disclose your Twitter account, we've left discussion of the law and what the police "can do" and entered a discussion about what to do about the problem of overtly criminal police. Nobody could have paid attention over the last 2 years (or the last 20) and come away believing there aren't criminal police officers; that is a real thing. It has not very much (some, but not very much) to do with official LAPD policy or their incident questionnaire cards.

But that just brings me back to my point about the framing of this article. If The Guardian believes this question is problematic --- and I agree with them, if they do --- they should write an article about how you don't have to tell the police anything about your Twitter account just because they've stopped you on the street.
> What's the catch this time?

This is D-T fusion. Which means you have to have T. Which currently comes from fission reactor and has a half life of 15 years.

So the plan is to use a molten salt blanket with Be to breed T. But Be isn’t scalable for consumption, so maybe lead eventually. That’s probably do-able, it just slows down the rate new reactors can come online since Pb is not as good a neutron multiplier.

Once they breed extra T, they have to capture and refine it. Hydrogen is very corrosive and hard to work with… and T is radioactive hydrogen. Again, probably doable. But guess what? Refining spent nuclear waste in fission reactors is also do-able. It’s also super expensive.

And they still need a containment vessel that will withstand the wear and tear from sitting next to a mini hydrogen bomb all day.

These challenges are likely all surmountable. But are they surmountable AND cheaper than existing nuclear or other energy sources? Meh?
Any plans to go one step further towards memory safety (and even better data race freedom)? Maybe using ARC when the overhead is acceptable (like Swift), it static analysis is not possible due to the type system not supporting the concepts of ownership, borrowing, lifetimes and so on?

Zig is super exciting, but without a GC or Rust type system, I’m worried about going “back” to a language where I have to think about memory leaks, use after free and so on.
I’m going to SEO the crap out of this and never get another ticket.
> the potential for mass surveillance of civilians without justification

Does it even count as surveillance when it’s stuff people post publicly online?
True. But the exec who bought the "discounted package" from that salesdroid will never know the difference.

Just don't tell 'em that you really just installed Apache and replaced the admin login page.
Thanks for trying it out! Op commands are disabled because I haven't gotten around to making every user admin by default. I also remember some vague security concerns on the back of my head ;D. It would be cooler if I could also let you change the game mode from the web interface.

As for the skins - servers run in "offline mode", which means no communication with the Microsoft authentication API responsible for validating accounts and (I believe) giving skins to players.
As a (satisfied) Bosch dishwasher owner, I don't recognise this description. Offhand I can't even remember when I last cleaned the filter. Meanwhile, it just keeps working.
The OP, a detailed article from creditable news source saying that the LAPD has directed officers to do this, would normally be considered evidence. What is your concept of evidence.
They use proper channels (a warrant) with the service provider, asking for the persons identity?
Christie's and Sotheby's will be on red alert when this drops.
I'd totally be a houseman if given the option. Cook nice meals, clean up, do laundry, hit the gym/grocery/errands during off hours, go for afternoon walks in the park, do fun projects with the kids.

Granted it's not for everyone. But I can see why it would be appealing.

> Maximizing the benefit of every battery cell produced requires that we distribute them smartly.

> This means putting them into a greater number of “right sized” electrified vehicles, including HEVs and PHEVs, instead of placing them all into a fewer number of long-range BEVs, like my model X. This is particularly important because presently it is difficult to recycle the kinds of batteries used in BEVs. If we are to achieve carbon neutrality, we must pay attention to all parts of the “3R” process — Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

> For example, we hardly ever put gas into our RAV4 Prime PHEV, which has a battery ⅙ as large as our Model X BEV. For the same investment in batteries as our single Model X, five other RAV4 Prime customers could reduce their carbon footprint too.
The article says this is from an "MIT-CFS collaboration" which is "on track to build the world’s first fusion device that can create and confine a plasma that produces more energy than it consumes. That demonstration device, called SPARC, is targeted for completion in 2025."

So, sounds like it's for SPARC.
The United States Constitution was not "the first constitution in history". For earlier, famous, instances of actual "constitutions" rather than codes of law (such as that of Urukagina of Lagash) see for example Solon's constitution of ancient Athens:

The Solonian Constitution was created by Solon in the early 6th century BC.[1] At the time of Solon the Athenian State was almost falling to pieces in consequence of dissensions between the parties into which the population was divided. Solon wanted to revise or abolish the older laws of Draco. Solon promulgated a code of laws embracing the whole of public and private life, the salutary effects[2] of which lasted long after the end of his constitution.

Under Solon's reforms, all debts were abolished and all debt-slaves were freed. The status of the hectemoroi (the "one-sixth workers"), who farmed in an early form of serfdom, was also abolished. These reforms were known as the Seisachtheia.[3] Solon's constitution reduced the power of the old aristocracy by making wealth rather than birth a criterion for holding political positions, a system called timokratia (timocracy). Citizens were also divided based on their land production: Pentacosiomedimnoi, Hippeis, Zeugitae, and Thetes.[4] The lower assembly was given the right to hear appeals, and Solon also created the higher assembly. Both of these were meant to decrease the power of the Areopagus, the aristocratic council. The only parts of Draco's code that Solon kept were the laws regarding homicide. The constitution was written as poetry, and as soon as it was introduced, Solon went into self-imposed exile for 10 years so he would not be tempted to take power as a tyrant.

See also Aristotle's "Constitution of Athens", on the constitutions of Athens, Sparta and Thebes, and with a title that makes it clear that "constitution" was an established term at least since Aristotle's times.

Finally see wikipedia's article on pre-modern constitutions:

Modern constitutions:

And (modern) democratic constitutions:

I presume when you say "device" you actually mean software. HTTPS can absolutely run on devices from 25 years ago.

Expecting network-connected clients to work securely without software updates for even a few months these days though isn't really possible, but that's down to the externalities of the world and has nothing to do with spec design.

Its really disturbing to me that privacy and data rights get absolutely zero consideration even on HN.
If you look at their other comments, it's very obvious they're not saying it should be free of regulation.

For you to have said you still agree with that assessment, even after clarification was made, was you being completely unreasonable.
The BBC is there to “inform, educate and entertain”. It gets government(/licence fee) funding because only the last of these is likely to be profitable.

The BBC is far from perfect, but its documentaries are great and it remains the most trusted source of news in the UK - give the news division a requirement to be profitable and the sensationalism that follows would destroy that trust pretty quickly. The last thing we need is a news landscape even more similar to the US.

> how much can company B copy company A's homework?

Patent lifespan is 14-20 years, depending on the type of patent, and which country issued it (there are probably outliers that have longer/shorter time-spans, though most countries now are unified). The question is there anything useful in patents that are expire, but if so there is copying about it.

Most car companies have weird cross licensing agreements (weird in part because there are anti-monopoly laws in place to work around) so to some extent they can.

Lots of negative comments in this thread. I've been following CFS for a few years now and I honestly believe this is an historic event - probably the beginning of the "fusion age".
> Let's say the SEC tells you "don't do X or we will sue you" but you believe that the SEC's request is invalid for whatever reason. Is there a way to get a judge to decide on whether you are right, before you do X and get sued?

I believe you can file an action seeking a declaratory judgement, but as I understand there is generally little reason: a Wells Notice is not, as I understand it, a “we might sue you if you do X” thing but more of “our staff have determined you have done X and that we should sue you for it on basis Y, but you have an opportunity to submit a legal brief to convince us that our staff are wrong before we approve their recommendation” thing.
Yeah, they are definitely building SPARC. I had just been under the impression they were trying to do the separable magnets in SPARC, and was curious if I misunderstood their plan or if their plan had changed.
Not all incentives need be financial. Connections yield better schools, better housing, invitation to more cultural events, etc etc.
So is a Vagrant-based alternative the current solution? Vagrant seems like it's long been a 'maintenance only' project for Hashicorp, though not abandoned at least.
Okay, but this has nothing to do with the fact that miners do one job, and this job is processing transactions. They don't have another job that consists in "securing the network", in addition to processing transactions. Therefore the entirety of the energy spent by miners is spent processing transactions.
Same in the UK. Most hook up to the cold water supply only.
Police have no "need" to collect any info on anyone, but regardless of that people do things that they don't need to do every day. In this case, it seems like they've decided that it makes their jobs easier if they ask for this info, so they do.
