Approximately equal representation of the populace, probably. Perhaps, rounding up to at least one representive.
Allowed probably isn't the best-fit word. Based on what I've read, the then HW legal team found a legal loop hole (or sorts) and shoved the action through. Given the general nature of the situation it's unlikely anyone was going to step forward and make a legal challenge otherwise. And the media naturally sided with the WH.
Since the “other mechanism” is that of the most murderous ideology of the past hundred years, I think we can rule it out.
Bare metal programming in C99 hasn't changed in... Ever really, so that's another option if you want something less esoteric than Forth. (Though Forth is a lot of fun and will give you a dynamic experience that few other environments at this level of the stack can offer.)
Good one lol
Amusing to see this on HN. I saw one of these Minis on the road the other day for the first time and I admit I got confused for two seconds. But then again I’m used to Chicago drivers who signal left when they want to turn right and vice versa — it’s a thing here. When I realized that the Mini’s turn signal was one half of the Union Jack I laughed because the design language reminded me of Austin Powers and perhaps it was meant to be intentionally funny and tacky by being jingoistic.
This is one of the major problems with distributed / federated systems.

The name itself (twitter, youtube, etc) is meaningful to users. These "default instances" need ways to distribute the compute & network load while allowing users to only remember "nitter".

Are there any projects that address this? Would be curious to help.
There are a fair number of vehicles on the road already with enhanced emergency brake lights; BMW in particular comes to mind. If you REALLY romp on it, another set of segments will light up, I think it might be the rear fogs that come on, along with a single additional flash. Not the godawful strobing every time you brush the brakes like with these "pulse" systems. (which thankfully seem incredibly rare on the west coast.. for now).

One particularly awful safety feature actually ramps up brake force assist when it "detects" emergency braking behavior; typically abrupt lift off of the throttle and subsequent application of the brake.

They never considered that maybe I WANT to abruptly lift off the throttle and then GENTLY apply the brakes, without having my head thrown towards the steering wheel.
"I think people just underestimate what spy agencies actually do and how dirty it’s always been. "

They do. But maybe they do, because of being told by the governments and in schools, that the CIA and co only fight terrorist and evil empires.

Those leaks showed the general public more of the real picture, not the fake official one. And sure, they do not like that.
Mini’s statement only highlights the absurdity (emphasis mine):

>With regard to the turn indicator light pattern, there should be no trouble at all for a driver to understand, when seeing the full rear of the car, which direction is being indicated

So what about when you can only see half of the car? Like when it’s changing lanes or pulling out of a parking spot? You know, like those times when a signal is MOST useful?

Absolute idiocy.
I'd rather use system repos anyways, because Flatpak doesn't have any of the plugins I want like CALF or Vital.
It's Sunday mate.
Good advice for personal projects. Sadly you can't use a lot of free libraries out there, because more often than not you'll be forced to upgrade (possibly due to a security vulnerability that the author refuses to backport to "old" major revisions), and encounter a backward-incompatibility when upgrading.
I remember seeing my friend’s Isuzu Trooper 4x4 in a parking lot next to a “Mini” that dwarfed it. I don’t hate minis, but that moment made me realize what a silly brand they are.
> This is not how I approach design at work, or necessarily how I would recommend doing so. Having a budget where initial creation is essentially free (fun!) while maintenance is extremely expensive (drugery!)
> 2) Those Vault7 CIA leaks are incredibly embarrassing, it's like so closet criminal organization - and with a program to run cyberwarfare attacks using Russian/Chinese signatures in the code to hide atttribution? That's kind of insanely deceptive and criminal I think.

I can’t tell if you’re being willfully obtuse or you’re just an extremely histrionic, but it’s clear you didn’t reach that conclusion through principled reasoning.
How many security features inherent to 64bit processes are they missing? Or is that not relevant for their deployment?
I dont think bots have the flags for blocking only in some apps like channels and groups have.

The bot runs on someone else machine and telegram most likely just temporary disabled the token to disable the bot from communicating with the telegram bot API. This then ofc affects all front ends/apps.
16-bit audio's quantization error is audible unless there's good dithering and/or noise shaping.

Otherwise, the quantization error becomes audible over ~80db. (Normal speech.)

Undithered / unshaped 16-bit audio can sound better than a record or cassette, although some people might prefer the sound of analog hiss to the choppiness of rounding.
"Marriage" is a pretty stupid concept to be honest. It's not a good signal of a committed healthy relationship at any point really. Some people get married so they can fuck without shame and guilt. Some people get married because they need tax benefits. My partner and I don't care at all about marriage despite a decade of being together and mutually understood plans of being together for the rest of our lives. We probably will get married. But is that an inflection point on things? Definitely not.
Very much this is the reality. And moreover, people have been pointing this very, very obvious problem with the Tesla numbers out for years, and yet people continue to take Tesla's statements at face value. It is incredible to watch and the most solid demonstration of how weak the critical thinking skills are in the technology field.

For historical reasons, I have lots of friends who do what is now called "data science" professionally and literally every one of them has asked, unprompted, about whether the numbers Tesla reports are based on non-comparable sets, which they are, early in any conversation on Tesla FSD. It is totally obvious.
I don't think the main message from chalk maintainers is good.

Chalk maintainers basically discard the performance improvement as micro-benchmarking (i.e. "doesn't matter in the real world"). Chalk maintainers also say tree shaking doesn't matter in the real world.

Why do they minimize these 2 improvements? If 2 libraries are equivalent, I'd go with the ones with extra improvements.

Chalk maintainers also mentioned that chalk would have no dependencies soon (not now, but soon). They also mentioned that chalk is well maintained for over 10y.

So, over the past decade, they can't remove dependencies? Suddenly, nanocolors show up, and now they will remove dependencies soon? That doesn't sound well-maintained.

Speed/tree-shaking aside, having no dependencies is a huge improvement.

> People have always wanted this.

That seems to be a dramatic over-generalization.

> Technology is a democratizing force that is giving people voice, greater reach, and a higher probability of success.

If it is so democratizing then why are all these people trying to become shills for the same sets of products from the same set of companies?

The only thing that seems to be democratized is that now corporations are being more inclusive about the types of people that they will let advertise their products for them.

That hardly seems like a win for anyone
Are you serious? The fact checker and history professor from the politico article calls it an overstated claim.

> Both sets of inaccuracies worried me, but the Revolutionary War statement made me especially anxious.

A number of other prominent historians have leveled the same criticism.

I'm not making any general claims about the revolution, or the politics of the moment as they relate to the telling of American history. But I am saying that the claim that it was motivated by the desire to preserve slavery is unsupported. This is the mainstream historical opinion.

> This one will have to wait to find more authoritative scholarly sources. But, I accept that it is controversial and possibly in question

It isn't controversial, it's completely without evidence. There is not a shred of evidence is presented. The linked essay from the 1619 Project picks up with Jefferson in 1776, a year and a half after the war started.
The assumption in what you wrote is that logic is Boolean, which is not always the case. There are other logics.
This isn't really relevant to booting Linux faster because it's about bare-metal programming a toy operating system. More of a learning tutorial than a practical replacement for standard Linux.

There are plenty of guides for speeding up Raspberry Pi Linux boot: http://himeshp.blogspot.com/2018/08/fast-boot-with-raspberry...

If you're developing a true embedded product then you'll be making a customized Linux distribution anyway, which will only include the minimum features needed during boot for your application.

Under the condition of sufficient energy supply and current technical parameters, the annual production of starch of 1 cubic meter bioreactor is equivalent to the annual production of starch of 5 mu (0.33 hectare) of corn in China.

Ah of course, leaving aside the small issue of energy use this process does indeed seem very efficient
Yeah, C and Java have had non-breaking changes for years. Java code from 1995 can still compile and execute in Java 17 (2021).

You can put it under proprietary reciprocal terms and void the right to copy when history is damaged. Copyright should cover that.

You can't do this with lax permissive licenses nor with copyleft as they allow to modify the work, which would mean the right to modify the history.

That's also the case in countries with low inflation. That's why, in the US, wealthy people don't stuff cash in mattresses, or keep most of their wealth in general bank accounts. They buy stocks, bonds, real estate, ect. This is also why, in the US, investment vehicles like 401ks and IRAs are highly encouraged.

That's my question though.

If anyone at Mini sees their 2019 model sold N in the first 6 months, and their 2021 model sold N/2, does anyone at corporate ask the dealerships to explain?

I hope someone would care. What if 90% of potential buyers jumped off when they saw the mileage numbers. Or after the test drive. Or when they heard how long delivery would take.

You know, any process optimization whatsoever.

My post wasn't really shaped by any particular experience, but I did have 2 in mind, as well as 3; not a specific case in mind, but more a point that they do exist, and that they aren't any less likely or worth considering.

I think that all four options are definitely possible, but that people have a bias for maintaining their circle of comfort, and justify that fear of the unknown.

As for

>You cannot deny that there's beauty in 1

I do deny it; or to be clear, I think it is a story that we've been conditioned to prefer over the others, with sometimes disastrous results for everyone involved. I see the same beauty in any other option that ends up with a person living a great life they don't regret.

I think we'd have a better world if people focused on finding their best possible life without a notion that this choice is the default, more likely option for a live well lived.
Seems like a bad implementation. In my city (Czechia) most of the parking lots are owned by the city, so it is fined by the city police. Cars are checked by cameras installed on the side of police cars, and in city centre its fully automated because there are cameras reading plates on each entrance. No wheel locks unless you are very bad offender.

People without something to hide don’t go to the lengths of coverup and propaganda campaigns that we have seen here. Perhaps Covid-19 was fully natural in origin, but what appears to be fairly obvious to me is that there are certain actors within the viral research community that are doing some things that the general worldwide public would view as extraordinarily dangerous. Things that might also be considered illegal in countries that are providing funds. Things that might be viewed reasonably by the general public as a possible cause of a worldwide pandemic.

There seems to be an extraordinary amount of CYA here.
I started getting rid of most of my 'things' a long time ago as well. Physical representations of most items seem pointless if I can get a digital version.

A sort of whole environment where every single piece that's out of beta commits to minimal interface changes over time. Fixing security bugs and supporting new emojis, fine. We have to do stuff like that. But everything else is just as frozen as can be. It would be useful for super long term software.

That’s the thing—taste is intimately linked with effect. Every coffee drinker will notice if someone switches brands on them.

That’s also why people with certain CYP3A4 variants dislike the taste of CYP3A4-inhibiting foods such as grapefruit, and people with certain variants absolutely love them.

CYP3A4 is a liver enzyme responsible for metabolising human sex hormones, as well as most pharmaceutical and recreational drugs, including caffeine.

I think it should be obvious that the FSD thing is and has always been an attempt to boost Tesla's appeal and stock valuation. Right now it really seems like the company is playing chicken with regulators so that they have a plausible target of blame and an excuse for not releasing a feature they claimed was almost ready _years ago_ and sold to people which is quite obviously not even close to ready. It's a pretty common strategy in scams.

I've just loaded pgloader successfully on 64-bit Windows into SBCL 2.1.8 straight from Quicklisp. The only snag was that I needed sybdb.dll (which I got from https://github.com/ramiro/freetds/releases), and that in turn required OpenSSL (which I got from https://www.npcglib.org/~stathis/blog/precompiled-openssl/). Then, with sysdb.dll on the path, it loaded correctly. Haven't tried how it works, though. I don't even have an MSSQL installation, so there's that.
Consider getting fired gracefully. You don't have to take it personally, especially if you know it's a tactic the company is using against you. Use the time to prepare for a job search/job change.

Just make sure you behave in accordance with your values; don't do anything that _you_ believe is wrong.
California loves to pass superficial regulations that won't change anything. Whatever looks good on paper and doesn't actually impact anyone is great for us.

From glancing through the comments so far, I'm not sure people here are even celebrating it (rather, I'm seeing a number of sour top level comments)... Maybe this is just the knee-jerk reaction effect that dang sometimes talks about, but it being a thing at all definitely shows there's still room for improvement.

There appears to be some twisted notion that the word "majority" implies some sort of power play.

IMHO, the better way to look at it is that a 52% female parliament is more closely representative of the fact that around half of the population is female.
