> Is it "cancel culture" to fire an employee for posting Confederate flags on their Facebook? What about a Nazi flag? Where's the distinction?

Yes and yes, and such firing would be considered illegal in a lot of places. It would be different if the employee made inappropriate comments at work or harassed other people, but you shouldn't go policing other's people out of work life. Evaluate employees by their job, not to protect the nazis, but to be fair to people irrespective of their gender or their race.

The input data in this case is the private key so if you had that available to change, you would not need to do anything more as you could already control the real .onion domain.

The attack on things like onion domains would be finding another domain that to a human looks similar enough to be mistaken for the real deal. You'd do that by brute forcing (same as what Facebook did to get the "facebook" prefix in their onion domain) and for a sucessfull attack the space you need to brute force is limited by what humans can distinguish, which is smaller than the whole hash space.

> It's a lovely illusion of choice, yes.

It's not an illusion. There is no model where a 3rd party is involved that isn't pre-compromised, either legally (the government and civil actors via the courts), financially (stop paying, lose access), operationally (so sorry, your key expired), logistically (oh, sorry, our server is down. Can't load your keyring), or technically (um... this device thingy stopped working). Every one of these problems is really a showstopper when it comes down to it. Why? Because without perfect performance of third parties and/or hardware, the risk is your data being locked away forever (or even for a few days). We all accept some of these realities, but ultimately, I think most of us on HN have had one of the above happen to us (maybe all of the above).

> How many sites do we need to see added to the database of something like pwnedpasswords/haveibeenpwned before enough is enough?)

I'd love a way to get rid of the password, but the trade off is either having a third party control access to my computer or counting on flawless reliability of people and hardware. All of which can lead to a worse state than cracked: data lost forever.

Ultimately, disclosures are terrible, horrible and should be prevented. But permanent loss of access is even more horrible.

Deskbound: Standing Up to a Sitting World [0].

I've always been fascinated, and driven by, good health; particularly in the context of working at a desk on a computer all day long.

This book has helped me to understand the implications and negative impact of typical habits surrounding working at a computer; specifically sitting all day.

By considering, and practicing, the advice presented in the book, I've changed the way that I physically work which in turn has significantly impacted my efficiency and performance.

I now stand a majority of the day and have learned methods for doing so effectively without simply tiring out my legs and causing a different set of problems. I've learned much about posture, particularly in the context of typing, which has helped reduce various aches and pains. And I've also learned various mobility exercises which have reduced stiffness in my arms, shoulders, and neck.

All in all, I feel better, which in turn has helped me to gain mental clarity and stay focused.

NTVDM has an interface called VDD you can use to write virtual device drivers. Basically a Windows DLL loaded into NTVDM.EXE and you can call the DLL from DOS by executing illegal instructions. Often a VDD would have an associated TSR which would provide a more normal interface to DOS programs (based on software interrupts not illegal instructions.)

Microsoft provides some, and third party vendors and open source provides others (the interface is documented in the Windows DDK, or at least it used to be). In particular, Microsoft had one called REDIR which included a bridge between the DOS and Windows NETBIOS APIs. Microsoft used to ship their own Netware client with old versions of Windows and that included another, VWIPXSPX, which similarly bridges the IPX/SPX API from DOS to Windows. Novel’s Netware client for Windows had an equivalent VDD called IPXVDD - https://support.novell.com/techcenter/articles/ana19970501.h...

And see http://netfoss.com/ for a VDD which connects the DOS FOSSIL API (de facto standard for DOS BBS to talk to multiport serial cards) to TCP/IP.

QBASIC doesn’t support any of these APIs, but it can call code written in assembler, and assembler can.

Another option would be to use a virtual serial port driver which makes a TCP/IP port appear as a serial port. QBASIC has built-in support for talking to serial ports. There are a bunch of these, for example https://pcmicro.com/netserial/ or
http://com0com.sourceforge.net/ - it can be done either as a Windows kernel driver (so all Windows apps can access it) or as a VDD (only usable by DOS programs running under NTVDM but a pure user mode solution). Actually, if one uses DOSBox instead of NTVDM it has a serial-to-telnet gateway built in.

So there are lots of ways they could have solved it. Still wondering what they actually did.
I think it depends on the bicycle paths in your country. In Poland, most bicycle paths are fairly thin, barely allowing two people to pass each other. There isn't any extra space for anything remotely resembling a trailer.

Completely agree with all your points. However, in terms of lockdowns overall messaging and management, while bumbling and less than perfect, we are way way better off than >75% of other nations.

Could it be better? Sure. Could it be way, way worse? Definitely.
The Extremely Weird Politics of Covid
And that's what makes the entire exercise fail - the weaponizing and the entire nonsense having nothing to do with the artifact itself.

I'm guessing your pictured intersections have lower speed limits and tighter geometry. As speeds increase, the amount of physical space needed to enter or cross traffic drastically increases. Even beyond that, as speeds increase, the estimation problem moves further away from human perception into something that would require the perception of a fast predatory bird, so even more space is needed just to be safe.

When I think of conversions from 2 to 4 way stops, I think of an intersection in my town where the road was listed at 25mph but the enormously wide pavement easily supported driving 40-45mph comfortably, especially being at the bottom of a steep hill, and people drove accordingly.

Completely separate from that is the issue of neighborhood groups trying to get inappropriate stop signs added to calm traffic. Stop signs are only for managing right of way; traffic calming should be handled by changes to street design.

How's the regulation there? I'm often riding Limes which are capped at 25kph (about 15 mph, I think), and I keep comparing my speed with delivery people (Glovo, Uber and so on). Turns out the 25kph is a very well chosen point - it's about as fast as a bike rider on a delivery - maybe 1-2kph faster than the average, and a bit less than one who's really in a hurry.

If your legislation allows for faster electric vehicles to share bike lanes, that's a big mistake IMO. Impact energy is proportional with the square of the speed, so crashing at 35 is already double the damage. 50kph is four times as bad, not to mention reaction times.

This is such a lazy answer to a complex problem-set. The reason why it always breaks down too this, is that we can not perceive "different". All we have is "similar" to us comparison. Not similar to us is judged by outcome - which is why stupid/godlike flickers. Genius is repeatedly not getting it, judging it stupid, but the outcome is working/superior.

The sad truth is, we cant really see other people behaviour-wise. Aliens could be walking in our midst and we couldn't perceive them.
The publication is Scientific Reports, so there is no high quality peer review. Papers are "not assessed based on their perceived importance, significance or impact."

If trade through Ottoman rules lands and seas had just been a matter of "pay the fee and get through", a lot of the pressures that defined the boundaries of European life would not have been there.

Now, the fact that the Ottoman Empire could not capitalize on its quick successes is a symptom of the limits of how far one can go with feudal+warlord structures. Do bear in mind that the "empire" was still a going concern for 400 years after that.

Had the Portuguese not had an incentive to circumnavigate Africa and had Columbus not had an incentive to try to get to India by traveling West, would the settlement of the Americas have happened at the pace it did?
It depends on the bike's brakes - bite point and lever adjustment - and how fast a reaction time you need.

If the brake lever can reach the throttle grip, that's generally a roadworthiness failure - old brake fluid or other wear and tear in the hydraulics. Fingers getting in the way isn't short of it. I prefer a fairly sharp bite point some way out from the throttle grip and adjust the lever accordingly.

If you are planning to brake, and you should be in a racing scenario, then four fingers gives you more control. But if I'm filtering through traffic in London, I've got two fingers on the brake and two fingers and a thumb on the throttle. I also have fingers on the clutch lever. An added bonus of keeping a couple of fingers on the brake is to help maintain throttle position to stay within the speed limit over potholes and speed bumps.
Id consider using one that does the opposite.

Sorry if I may have come up as a Nix professional/proponent. I'm actually a nix beginner and as can be seen in this thread, I've asked the author similar question to yours. Using Ubuntu, I have been bitten by glibc and other dependency mismatch in my projects and I'm looking for something more elegant than docker/VBox.

I've read posts from both sides of this discussion.

> Oh. Wait. There's literally no such way.

I think there is?
Check to see if the nixpkgs history have that version (+), if not, patch the derivation (could be as simple as bumping the version and recalculating the hash, or, doing so could cause a breakage in one of the transitive dependencies, at which point, you have to fix that also (meaning a version increment of decrement for the dependency or more. Essentially you have to build the specific ruby version down to all its dependencies)

(+) How can we see what versions are available in nixpkgs history?

It seems we have to use third-party webservices! I agree with you here that this should have been implemented in the nix tooling itself.
I know of two such services:

https://4shells.com/nixdb/pkg/ruby/2.6.6

https://lazamar.co.uk/nix-versions/?channel=nixpkgs-unstable...

I think this also answers that quote from the github issue.

> What was this solution again?

From what I understood, in the project `.nix` file, we inherent from a forked nixpkgs repo which has our patched `default.nix` in the ruby folder, for building ruby. (Nix pros, correct me if I'm wrong here). Now we have to build all deps locally since a matching hash would not be present on Nix cache servers.

Now, with nvm, how could you guarantee that a particular version would not conflict with one the host OSs low-level libraries (Like glibC)? The difficulty and complexity of patching the Nix derivation has to do with this part. In Ubuntu/Debian, you can't simply mess with system level low level libraries.

Python has turned into the C++ of dynamic languages, but without the speed. My feeling is that Python is suffering the same fate as Pascal, where a "teaching and prototyping language" is used for things it was not intended for. Programmers that grew up with Python want more features, not thinking about the next generation of programmers.
Look, honestly, if someone delivered a grand piano to me with this request but no expectations, I’d probably try converting it before going ahead with my velomobile. Although it’d require some heavier-duty design (e.g. it’d need something sturdier than my recumbent trike’s two 90mm drum brakes, and typical bike suspension parts would probably not be adequate but I think it’d need suspension, unlike my recumbent trike), it’d be easier in most ways because you’re already acknowledging you don’t care much about weight or aerodynamics, and it’s expected to be fairly ridiculous.

For most applications in my company, we prefer fastapi + Jinja to generate HTML pages, and rely on the browser to display that for us. For the few programs that need to be run locally & without browser, we use PySide2 (Qt bindings): the framework is bulkier, but somehow feels more reliable.

How about we start with not allowing motorcycles on the sidewalks? Whether the engine is a two-stroke or electric motor does not matter. In the NYC metro area (including cities/towns in NJ and CT), being on the sidewalk means having to duck heavy electric motorcycles and scooters doing about 20mph with no regard to anyone's safety. In most places, it is already illegal to bike on sidewalks, a rule that is conspicuous in the lack of adherence, but there is absolutely no enforcement.

This was a small island in Thailand where 99% of the traffic was other motorcycles, so I think that had a lot to do with it. There were lots of curves and stuff but I just kept it relatively slow and steady.

Try tracking delivery riders. They're pretty constant at 23-24 kph.

Also, you can't have an omelette without breaking eggs. Moving away from the big, polluting, dangerous cars will necessarily involve a transition path for those that can't or don't want to use muscle power. Having small, clean, relatively harmless electric vehicles is honestly by far the best transition path I can see. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing them with a roof in a few years.

There should be limitations, but they should well thought out. Speed capped at 25 is a big one. Separating them from pedestrians is a huge one.

But overall, please also think of the upside. Having a e-something in the streets ensures that at least half a car is staying home that day.

My "pod" at work has lost its tech-lead twice in two months and it's certainly been challenging to continue with only 60% of the engineers we'd normally have (we've reduced the expected number of points per sprint).

In our case, it seems like the competition for software engineers (as well as the current VC largess) has led to salaries being increased and people can improve their standard-of-living by changing positions every year or so (versus the conventional wisdom that you should change companies every 3-4 years).

Not the person your replying too, also don’t live in the Netherlands just fascinated with those bike infrastructure, but my understanding is that this is a historical quirk that came into existence when smaller mopeds where less common.

In Amsterdam it used to be possible to ride mopeds under a certain power on bike paths, and these bikes could be identified by their number plates. Additionally micro cars, that in theory are meant to be accessibility devices for those with physical impairments are still allowed.

But this is all slowly going away due to the exact issues you mention. The rise of cheap electric vehicles has meant that occasional fast vehicles sharing generous bike infrastructure has gone from acceptable to frustrating and soon to be dangerous.

I think these rules are handled at the city/municipality level. So the rules are different city-to-city in the Netherlands, with some cities changing the rules quicker than others. But the writing is on the wall, cycle lanes in cities will soon be bikes, e-bikes, and more strictly regulated micro cars only in the near future.
