Is this Jacobin article really trying to make the claim that the USSR’s “welfare state” allowed people to reach their potential? And that the evidence is seen in chess players that didn’t have to fund raise and could live off the state to focus on their hobby? I get that a TV show may not accurately reflect real life, but this isn’t a convincing argument.
"This passwordless future requires that Microsoft follow in Apple's and Google's footsteps in deciding which software you are allowed to run on your computer."

"These vendors don't trust you to manage your own security, instead they want you to hand all trust over to them."

"This requirement puts even more control of your hardware into Microsoft's hands."

Whether the concept of the "password" is appropriate for computers doesnt really interest me.

However when companies like Microsoft want to control how I can use a computer, thats a problem.

These proposals are not about "security" in every case, they are about control.

The user could be in a situation where security really isnt a major concern (and thats for the user to decide) but these companies will still be able to control what she can and cannot do.
Yeah, and I don’t think bankruptcy disappears from your credit report after 7 years like other items. Does it?
Doesn't Perl also have this? It would be a great feature in Python, although I wouldn't use it very often.
the US is a low personal trust, high systems trust society. there are plenty of facilities to accommodate personal failures, in the case of defaults, insolvencies, missed payment, breached contracts there is a highly developed legal system to accommodate arms-length remediation and for smaller issues, claims courts and arbitration. in finance industry, in the wholesale industry, there are self governing organizations to manage clearing, settlements, margining, penalties and incentives to perform regular and continuous contractual obligations, etc various checks and measures to avoid failures but also stopgaps to remediate failures when they happen.

we don't need personal trust because there is systems trust.

japan is a high personal trust system that obviates the need for high systems trust. insolvency proceedings in japan for example rely on private proceedings, social and familial relationships, instead of formal remediation. without the need for high systems trust, there is a virtually non-existent (high-yield) credit market, because companies don't "fail" in japan in the way we traditionally think of credit failures, and the outcomes of a credit event is non-standard and very difficult to predict. furthermore, if you are an outsider to the personal trust system, it is very difficult to fully participate in society.

Front end frameworks like react and angular have bloated CPU requirements compared to jQuery sites of old because they expect to be run on fast, modern browser JS engines with JIT. I doubt any pure interpreter could be competitive in performance on the average website.
No, I just mean any slope really. In action sport, you call this "catching a transition". Landing on a slope vastly reduces your impact by spreading it out of a longer period of time

I don't know how much of a win it is, but it can be a pain even during daytime.

Older bikes have useless headlights, so they may be able to get away with it, but newer, LED-based ones, can be blinding. Happened yesterday to me around noon on an overcast day.

I also mostly get around by bike, and I've always found it very anti-social when others are riding behind me with their high-beam on. I ride a larger motorcycle, so I can actually see things other than my elbows in the rear-view mirrors.
CPython doesn't. But the other Python implementations (PyPy, GraalVM, et al) don't even use the CPython bytecode.
Holy crap, thank you. Just the stuff I'm looking for! I'm once again amazed by you folks on HN.
Why would it be emulated?

> I work as a software engineer at a big company and want to actively and directly in some way help fight climate change.

1) First ask yourself, "Why?" Nobody else cares enough to do anything, whether individuals or countries.

If it's some nebulous guilt, you're just misguided.

ie. China intends to ramp up pollution until at least 2030, and any climate change agreement they make is solely to solidify control of the South China Sea, not to reduce emissions.

2) To be more constructive, I'd look at doing something technical like a "craigslist for the environment" web site where individuals can learn what they can do locally to improve the envionment.

Some ideas are:

- coupons by zip code for refrigerator or water heater efficiency upgrades. This used to be a major program by PG&E, not sure if that's operating today:

https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/save-energy-money/savi...

- see what's happened with freecycle and either integrate or extend it:

https://www.freecycle.org/

- commercial freecycle for building materials in small qty., etc.

- report if your zip code actually does municipal recycling or if it's landfilled (you'd be surprised) and what the alternatives are to curbside pickup if the latter.
Maybe labeled break and continue is what Python needs, not goto.
This is the Jacobin magazine after all.
> What you're describing isn't messed up indentation but messed up column alignment (trying to align content on multiple lines).

It's still indentation - the point is lining up the start of a line with some point on the line above.

> It's super simple to enforce via linting.

And yet I've never seen anywhere manage to actually enforce it in practice.
I think the role of a tab in a code editor is different from the role of a tab in a document editor. I have always used dedicated code editors and prefer tabs (but like you, I use and specify spaces for code style). I think people who use editors that are multi-purpose generally see these alternate usages of tab as problematic or even illogical. I think this is often the linux people, and they are often the most experienced and influential coders. I think that is why spaces are generally seen as the preferred method.
Have you looked at Fortress at all? It was designed on just this premise, and came to some interesting conclusions before being abandoned. For example, where the natural data structure for Lisp is the list, the natural data structure for Fortress is the tree.

I suspect most of these arguments come from people who prefer to be vegan or not have kids, trying to change someone else's way of life. As a form of activism, it would probably be more effective if it didn't feel so biased.
This is a lazy apologetic for the Soviet Union, with no particularly interesting content about women or chess.
In a similar way that "broken" is a thing. If you have a device which doesn't work, you can call it "broken" but that doesn't help you do anything about it. It's useful if you want to filter out broken things from functional things, but if you want your device to work again you need more than that.

If you want to avoid lazy employees, and hire motivated self-starters, then "lazy" might work as a description. If a good employee is suddenly having problems and you would prefer to keep them, all "lazy" does is put a non-explanation insult on them, it doesn't tell you anything. "They lost a family member and haven't been sleeping properly and are exhausted" tells you something. "They just saw another team's project get cancelled on a whim" tells you something else. "They feel micromanaged and are frustrated" tells you something else.
I use a similar approach where I have a master password combined with characters I derive using a simple algorithm from the name of the company or website.

A problem I run into is when I get forced to reset it and cannot reuse it.
Maybe the "too late to do anything at all" line is setting people off? I don't think it's hyperbolic in the least. There's a very non-trivial chance that some hammer falls in some way that too much damage is done too fast to prevent a snowball effect of war/famine/disease before we manage some big tech geo-engineering solution.

We are very reliant on industry/automation as an efficiency multiplier for sustinance. Really, anything that disrupts our ability to automate in the long term (power/water/comms/logistics/chip fab), disrupts our ability to farm industrially, which lowers Earth's carrying capacity. Which risks a large die-off, which risks more of the above.

Humans are really bad at anticipating cascade failures.
Nowadays, all certificates have to be submitted to Certificate Transparency Logs and must have attached proof to be considered valid. Also, there are CAA records to ensure that only specific CAs are able to issue certificates.
I have had precisely ONE "this is not a spammer, this is your friend you forgot the name of" outcome from reverse number lookup. All the rest were spam.

This space is toxic but the underlying problem is the tension between individual privacy (DNC and off-directory numbers) and public-commons good.

That, and the truly bizarre decisions made regarding CLID in the payload and as presented by the apps: Why do we let people lie about sender-ID? This is like MANRS in BGP (Internet routing) -we shouldnt' allow injection of lies at origin.

Hard to police but high benefit (like BCP38/MANRS)

I’m a big fan of effective altruism. To be honest, the best way a software engineer can help climate change is to make a lot of money and donate a lot of it.
If anyone is curious, I looked up how bison farms could be considered carbon negative, and it appears to be because of their grazing habits (they produce roughly the same methane as cows, but they don't overgraze, which helps plants grow). Curious to learn if there is actually a net benefit and the amount of land needed per bison for it to be viable, but still interesting.

Wall Street marks biggest drop since May as Evergrande crisis intensifies
I wonder if this is the result of some tool that intercepts all traffic in Layer 2 and rewrites everything to put a MitM proxy while keeping the original IP addresses. It can even be running in a different machine, with the traffic coming through an actual NIC and cable (so the OS being analyzed does not see strange network interfaces nor changes behavior when it detects that it is running in a VM).

Does somebody know about such a tool?

It does not explain the port 80, however.
That's because eugenics is absolute nonsense and has been debunked time and again.
I must be in the minority. I strongly dislike Python, and I loathe Ruby. Give me a statically typed language any day of the week.
Yes, but is every person you think is stupid, actually stupid? Do they actually lack intelligence? Are they reacting to something they see, that you do not?

The whole point is to understand the context and look for solutions. Not just dismiss people you don’t like or don’t want to deal with by labeling them as stupid or lazy.

If you’ve exhausted the other options or ways to approach the problem, perhaps stupid is the explanation.
Yeah. At the same time, I have a condo in a super hot area of a tech hub, and it still didn't really appreciate any faster than the market (you'd think it did with those crazy leaps, but the market has been pretty crazy for the last couple of years too).

If it wasn't for the leverage, no tax capital gain and rent saving and fringe benefits of owning a home, it wouldn't be that great an investment, so REIT don't really compare.

Interesting. I wonder what my book's title needs to do to be classed as a book title by this engine. It's actually mentioned in the same comments as a few of the peers in its topic (Rust).
There's a whole cottage industry of house hackers now thanks to biggerpockets who specialize in BRRRing, as in buying, doing minor renovations, raising rents and then cash out refinancing to have money for the next downpayment.
Does anyone have any suggestions for good data plans to be used throughout the EU? In my country I can get unlimited 5G for a pretty good price (€25/mo), but if I go to another country the datacap is only 15GB. I guess pre-pay is an option, but having to get a new SIM in every country sounds like a lot of hassle.
It is not punishing to stop eating animals. It may seem that way if you're not used to it, but it is a fulfilling and healthy way to live with compassion for our planet and fellow living beings; who have consciousness, personality, love for their families and desire to live just like us.

Yes it is not effective if you're the only one in the world doing it, but it has always been about convincing others to drastically reduce or stop completely, whether through word of mouth or policy change.

Producing animal products is unsustainable and come with enormous environmental impacts [1][2]. We need both top-down and bottom-up approaches. So it's worthwhile what individuals and companies/governments choose to do. It's not one or the other.

Regarding growth sizes, the market is at a place where improvements are immediately applicable.

There is not. We looked into this for my Canadian now-wife. If you have no college degree, basically your only immigration options in that case are a work transfer visa, entirely up to the whim of your current employer, or the K1 fiancée to Green Card marriage path. That's it.
Ephemeral runner support has been highly anticipated for our organization - I'm excited to see it go live!

However, GitHub Enterprise admins may want to take caution - some users have reported that the changes are not currently compatible https://github.com/actions/runner/pull/660
Completely agree. I have interviewed and hired a number of people and a simple one page reading code test (“What do you think the code does and are there any bugs?”) worked wonders.
I mean, I do like comprehensive tooling. I don't like pretending some of the older commercial tool chains didn't exist.

And much of the modern set is heavily enabled by massive compute and memory. Such that often, it isn't that the checks you are talking about couldn't be done. They were often pushed to dedicated build sessions. Which often got skipped by developers.
Begun. The way for us to actively make changes is to do donation projects today. The speed of government is not an advantage here.
The VBA blob is documented: https://interoperability.blob.core.windows.net/files/MS-OVBA...

111 pages, and it looks non-trivial to implement something to tear it apart. But, I give MS some credit for documenting it.
I couldn't get it to work with a table - only with having to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the horizontal scrollbar.

Edit: hmm, it's working in the CodePen here: https://css-tricks.com/a-table-with-both-a-sticky-header-and... I'll have to fully revisit what I was trying to do and see if I can get it working.

Edit 2: Oh, I realized that I wanted the horizontal scrollbar to be sticky when it is an element taking part of the vertical space of a page, but more than a screenful. I found this that solves it but not for a table with a fixed header: https://amphiluke.github.io/handy-scroll/ To see what I'm talking about, go to the top of the demo, horizontally scroll, and note that horizontal scrollbar is shown when scrolling horizontally. Then click disable, and note that it isn't shown when scrolling horizontally, unless you go all the way to the bottom. Or, if you don't have a trackpad, you actually have to go all the way to the bottom to scroll it horizontally.

So those seem like backported security updates. This is different from iOS where they receive the full OS system update, including new features (unless a required piece of hardware is missing, ie. Force Touch)
I've also found this project to be very good. I used it for a personal project to help me manually tag images and prepare a payload to upload to a remote server's database.

Some of their naming conventions though are odd IMO but otherwise I thought it was an easier way to process images than a webapp which is my usual working area. Now that I think of it though, a juniper notebook may have also been a solution but I wanted to dabble with writing a GUI.
By "all this", I assume you mean the work of first Lucas, and then Penrose, in using Gödel's disjunction to argue against Strong AI [1]. This argument cannot be dismissed simply by noting that humans are often inconsistent, and it is not plausible that people of the intellectual stature of Lucas and Penrose would make so simple an error.

What these arguments claim is that if a digital computer could emulate a human mind, then the human mind is ultimately algorithmic (so there is an algorithm that can produce all the theorems that the human mind is capable of producing.) The Church-Turing thesis says that every algorithmically computable function is computable with a Turing machine. This is equivalent to the proposition that the collection of humanly knowable theorems can be recursively axiomatized in some formal theory T. This theory would then be consistent [2].

Given that this hypothetical system is consistent, it has at least one Gödel sentence: a true statement which cannot be proven from within the system. Lucas and Penrose assert, however, that humans could see its truth by "stepping outside of the system", as they do, for example, in proving the consistency of Peano arithmetic. Therefore, there would be at least one thing that a human mind could do, but which its supposedly equivalent digital computer could not.

So Lucas and Penrose are not assuming that humans are consistent; on the contrary, they are saying that Strong AI proponents themselves are implying that minds are reducible to a consistent formal theory. As Lucas and Penrose do not accept the Strong AI premise, they are not making this implication, and they do not have to reconcile it with the observed inconsistency of humans - that is, as it were, left as an exercise for Strong AI proponents to solve (this, however, is not the crux of their argument, which concerns deducing the truth of the implied system's Gödel sentence, as outlined above.)

I believe these arguments can be plausibly challenged, but not by anything so simple as observing that humans are inconsistent.

Surprisingly tricky to prove. It looks like Berkeley overhauled its student body statistics about 15 years ago, and data from before seems to have vanished.

Is it argument from authority if I cite Karp?

https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/bears/CS_Anniversary/karp-tal...

The two undergraduate degree programs at Berkeley seem to date from 1968 or so. (Karp is fuzzy about his citations).

It was certainly well established when I went there in the early 80's.
I also generally agree with this but I think it's area dependent. Living close to a major metro, there have been very few rides where I can genuinely say that I did not at one point almost get hit by another vehicle, but I can imagine it being much safer in a rural area.
Yes, thats why median home prices didn't really go up that much higher than inflation when adjusted for interest rate decreases.

People don't want "a home". They want THAT home (or at least, a home in THAT area). Yes, there are supply issues because of zoning and NIMBY policies, but even super dense areas like Manhattan have significant supply issues.

So you have income increases that can't be offset by the output, because supply is limited.
I have a Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) that runs Android 5 and was (I later realised) already out of manufacturer support when I bought it new at retail in April 2018. That’s insane.
