If you ask POSIX, or any date/time API that slavishly copies POSIX (say, java.util.Date or JavaScript's Date object), January is month 0.

Okay, assume the taxi rides are free. The taxi driver is now wasting your time taking you all across town just for a selfish kickback. Meanwhile, you value your time, presumably, so you're getting more and more annoyed as they do this. I don't see how removing the cost of taxi somehow makes this scenario acceptable. What am I missing?

To be honest I think this happens naturally and it's fine. The median age in the community feels older and more folks are working in management and business roles. Interests in a community ebb and flow in relation to what folks are working on these days.

Very, very sophisticated systems exist to prevent spoofed identities from counting as ad clicks.
I graduated very recently. It's pretty bad at this point. At least for the campuses and students I'm familiar with, students feel that "conservative" is unequivocally synonymous with racist.

I'm not saying every student, but certainly the vocal majority of the campus. The outspoken and activist portion. Hell, some of my friend groups. But I've learned to just tune out political discussions in those.
I wasn't quick to blame people alone because I didn't blame them at all. What's more, your idea that atomic bombings of Japan was behind the irrational nuclear scare is incorrect.

From https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221462962...

Opinion polls in the 1950s and 1960s showed remarkably high approval of nuclear power [25], [38], [39], [40]. Attitudes regarding construction near a poll respondent’s residence were also positive, with multiple surveys showing majority or plurality approval [15].

I mostly blame the fossil fuel lobby and the anti nuclear "environmentalist" movement.
It also depends on what you are doing. If you are spear fishing in shark filled waters, you have a much higher chance of being bitten by a shark.

And if I live in a place where there is very rarely lightning, that chance gets really low as well.
Huh - weird. I have seen references to this before but when I was writing my earlier reply I tried to find it but couldn't.

But thanks!
If you want me to believe protests are "mostly peaceful" then don't report in front of a fucking conflagration.

Furthermore - and there's no nice way to say this - why are people so dumb as to believe news outlets as if they're arbiters of the truth? As if they were the very Ancients themselves from the Stargate universe, descended down to enlighten us all with zero self-interest?

The New York Times COMPANY. A COMPANY. Owned by a trust-fund jackass who inherited it from his great-great-great-however-many-times-grandfather.

CNN, owned by Turner Broadcasting Company, owned by WarnerMedia, owned by AT&T... the same AT&T that's lied about bringing fiber to America after getting how many billions in tax dollars for the past 36-something years from Congress?

How deluded do you have to be to think any of these outlets are being even remotely objective about "The News"?

They pander to your goofy asses, and you consistently believe them. CNN is no better than Fox News is no better than MSNBC is no better than <insert here>.

EDIT: You're not goofy, guys... you're just honestly fucking gullible and dumb if you believe any of them. You're being sold a story - a worldview compatible with whatever bullshit you want to believe. It makes me sick that people can't or won't be honest about this.
It's best for financial privacy. Good for them.

Look outside the West. While there's certainly lots of challenges throughout the globe, war and strife are much nearer in cultural memory in most of the developing and undeveloped world (and is often ongoing!) than it is in the West. Having Faith that tomorrow will be better is almost a prerequisite to life in most of these parts of the world, and you will often hear volumes of stories from parents and grandparents of wars, purges, poverty, and more.
This is about reloading dynlibs, technically cool I guess, but maybe asking for trouble. I prefer to launch a new process, then transfer any open connections and fd's with the SCM_RIGHTS auxiliary message under Linux.

I once asked Joe Armstrong (RIP) about Erlang's famous hot reload feature compared to doing something like that, and he agreed with me that hot reload wasn't really worthwhile, as sexy as it might sound.

If you suspect a conspiracy or that you're being lied to, prove otherwise! You'll earn worldwide fame and press if you prove they're lying. Yeah, it's hard work, but it's not impossible, it's just difficult. You can disassemble the kernel driver with a variety of open source tools, inspect exactly what it's looking for, and publish that. It's what the cheat authors are going to do anyways, but they won't publish what they find, because they want to profit from the knowledge.

esbuild tends to produce larger bundles due to https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/639. Looks like there was recent activity though, so we need to re-test. Anyway, there's a plugin available for now: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@parcel/optimizer-esbuild. We're also excited about the SWC minifier project, which is basically a port of Terser to Rust.

Unless you are the government, not an individual. Bitcoin threatens the government. SHA256 will be cracked as a result of inevitable quantum computing breakthroughs. It is not an if, but a when. If the government shuts down crypto, on the other hand, their internet surveillance machine goes dark. We know they can break cryptographic algorithms based on the content of the Snowden leaks. The purpose of Bitcoin is a bounty.
At some point we have to invoke the principle of parsimony. Europe did not have a tradition of obsidian mirrors in the late middle ages/early modern, much less ones carved in mesoamerican styles.

Yes, it's not impossible that it could have been produced in Europe, but it's far more likely that it was produced like the numerous other similar mirrors dated before contact and documented as produced by American artisans in early writings. This is all the more likely given the known supply chain for such objects, specialists in Aztec mirror production are specifically known to have used material from the two sources identified, and that Spaniards documented shipping such mirrors back to Europe as gifts.

> If the author of sixel-tmux[2][3] is to be believed[4], the relative lack of adoption is a result of unwillingness on the part of maintainers of some popular open source terminal libraries to implement sixel support.

If you have any doubt, look no further than this thread: the sixel format is attacked not for any technical reasons, but for its age, RIGHT HERE ON HN:

>> "That's a protocol that's a good forty years old, and even that is not supported. And I can see why, why on earth would you want to be adding support for that in 2021? What a ridiculous state of affairs."

What's ridiculous is, with so many examples and quotes, some people still thing I must be "emotional" (I had a long discussion here... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28761043 ) or that a few million colors is not sufficient for the terminal (!)

Did they actually do any investigating here? Reading the letter it sounds like they are just reminding companies that could be fined, not that any of them have actually done anything
This isn’t a documentary about hi-if equipment. It’s a story about this man’s obsession. The sacrifices and guilt now realized. Nearing the end of his life with a terminal illness — it’s the reflection at the end that causes pause. How are your obsessions impacting you? Are they tearing you away from your family or friends? Are you happy with those choices made?
Apple has a technical preview in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey that stores the WebAuthn credentials in iCloud. This lets you have passwordless WebAuthn login, without registering each device separately.

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10106

It's only works in the Apple ecosystem currently and is only a technical preview, but it's a cool idea to reduce the number of registrations you have to do and reduce the chance of getting locked out of websites by losing your WebAuthn key.
Even if you are a non catholic Christian catholic practice seems very occult and superstitious.
That wasn't my experience, but it's been several months since I tested v2. I may have had to specify which plugins to use, but downloading of random binaries was an issues -- albeit this is a larger NPM ecosystem issue assuming read-write capabilities, glibc, x86_64 arch, etc. I've even made some small contributions to Parcel, its blog, and wrote a plugin, but this was before I started using Nix for a lot of things and node-gyp does not like to play well.

That said, I very much preferred Parcel to Webpack as the JSON5 config was declarative and simpler and the HTML entry point.

The thing it, users seem to prefer the "own nothing, pay little per month" approach.

In movies, everyone is now making their subscription services, that are really popular; while services for buying movies online existed for years and were not really all that successful.

You can buy movies on iTunes for maybe 15 years now and on Google Play for ... a while too; but it has never been as successful as Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount Whatever, is now.

People just prefer the subscription model.

But maybe gaming is fundamentally different. Apple Arcade is not really successful, but maybe it's because Apple is being Apple, I don't know. Xbox... has a game pass thing? I don't really follow that that much
An OS that represents the user would be able to grant the permission to scan only an arbitrary subset of the filesystem, with the application being none the wiser. We need to start seeing the lack of such functionality as a security vulnerability.
No, it's got to be a real person intentionally clicking the link, and very large teams of skilled people work exclusively on figuring out which clicks fall in this category. Cursor movement patterns, delay time, whether the link was actually rendering on the display when it was clicked, IP address, cookies, signed-in identities, previous click patterns, location, all of these things and more factor in. When people talk about Google hoovering up data, it is in large part for this purpose.
Honestly, I think 3rd party sellers are half the problem. Eliminating them won't fix everything though, since there are sites where the 1st party itself is dishonest (e.g., yelp), but if you trust the site and it is all 1st party then you're in a good state for reviews, since there's little incentive for anyone to fake them.
The mirrors were devotional objects in the indigenous religion of the Nahuas, analogous to Christian crucifixes. They were symbols of divine power. The Catholic Church to this day ascribes supernatural power to physical objects such as the Eucharist, and 16th-century Spaniards certainly would have believed that the relics of saints conveyed divine benefits. The Church itself reaffirmed the miraculous power of relics that same century at the Council of Trent. There is really no reason to consider these Nahua religious objects "occult" except by a definition that includes an exception for Christianity.

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12734a.htm

In any case, the conquerors of New Spain did not encourage the Nahuas to reform their indigenous religion on a rational basis free of superstition. They did not train up an Aquinas for Tezcatlipoca. They suppressed the religion of their conquered subjects in favor of their own, a tale as old as written history.

The bigger mistake was to mix a prefix pointer operator in with the postfix [i] and (x). You end up with the spiraling-out parsing even for expressions, not just declarations. With Pascal's postfix ^ everything reads left to right.

This is a little bit misleading. You have to look at the entire history of the industry. A lot of consolidation has happened to eliminate competition. And pretty much every legacy airline has declared bankruptcy except for coincidentally, Southwest. Largely due to their founders strategy of avoiding overly leveraging the company. So much so that at one point during the pandemic when other airlines were overleveraged, their stock price did not crash and they were the most valuable airline in the country by a considerable amount.
It's still utterly unbelievable to me that the CCP has enough power to disappear a man worth $60,000,000,000 +/- a few.

If there was any further indication that a group of people needed to all band together and overthrow their government, you'd think that'd be it, but I guess some people just love living in near slavery.
The way you wrote it made it seem like you thought the program wasn't an emulator or that the machines it emulated weren't real. So you quoted it for emphasis. That's why I asserted that it was by writing that the machines it emulated were real.

They have to balance things like audio being delivered by streaming mp3s from phones to a tv's built in speakers. Something I encountered at a party, equally horrifying.

Too many people measure the quality of their audio by how much bass comes out of their oddly shaped bluetooth speakers and are excited about the built-in light show it provides.
Decompiling may be legal, but publishing the decompiled source is almost always a copyright violation.

Interoperability is an argument for the legality of decompilation itself (i.e. you can ignore EULA clauses that say otherwise); it doesn't make the resulting code copyright-free or automatically eligible for fair use.
Why don't they just have a special lobby for people who don't want to use anti-cheat? Protect the people who want to play fair games, and let the people who want to play with their friends and aren't worried about cheating (or hell, want to play with cheaters) play without anti-cheat? Seems like a win win?
At least owner conveyed us what is the case and we can give him the feedback that this is my concern and ask him if he can resolve this.
Couldn’t agree more. Every time I need to write/read C I’m forced to refer to some documentation just to recall what the right syntax is depending on whether or not I’m declaring or using pointers.

I think go is a good example on how to turn “cleverness” into clear conventions, which usually yield the benefits of cleverness without the headaches.

Semantic cleverness becomes problematic too at times. There’s a fine line between developing a useful abstraction and doing something so obtuse your users are scarcely able to discern what’s going on once they run into a problem and run in circles trying to debug weird underlying language design decisions.
For all we know Amazon and the big corporations will be protected, and small businesses will be targeted. Everything political is a scam and a racket to some degree. FTC included.
I find it odd how so many of the comments here are attacking Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, day-trading, and other forms of gambling/speculation/investing.

It reminds me of a quote from some comedian I heard many moons backs that went something like:

> It's funny when you quit drinking -- people always ask you, "Why did you quit drinking?" or "How come you do not drink anymore?" But why does no one ever ask why you drank in the first place?

That quote seems to lineup well with various discussions in this thread. What causing more and more people to go down this road? Personally, I think this is a subtle, yet massive, cry for help.

It seems like this is the only way out for so many people(or so they think), and that is what breeds the cult-like mentality. I wouldn't care about investing as much as I currently do, if my future did not literally rely on it. I do not make enough money that I can throw my money into a savings account, and it will be enough to retire on. I only have one choice if I want to retire one day, and that is to invest. I am mainly an index fund investor, and I still fear that even that is not enough.

When you are, more or less, forced to live in a rat-race, your only options are to traverse the maze and hope the cheese is still there if/when you make it to the end. And if that is case, I don't blame the other rats for trying to chew and naw their way attempting to escape/shortcut the maze.

Do I invest in cryptocurrencies? Yes. Do I believe in any of them have true utility or provide solutions for real problems? No. I invest in them because I find it a fun little game. I am not going to get rich on them or anything, but it gives me something to do when Fantasy Hockey / NHL is in its offseason. I can see why people get high on the 'hopium' though -- there isn't much to be hopeful for anymore.
I think I have a somewhat relevant comment: as you might suspect for an Intel mainboard whose USB-C ports support such a wide variety of adapters, the USB-C ports on the framework laptop and those adapters are Thunderbolt 3-compatible, they just aren't certified yet.
Before the internet, brick and mortar stores and distributors had 'buyers' who were intimately familiar with products in their particular sector. They would review products and decide how many to order if any. If you wanted to sell some consumer product you'd have to ship pre-production models to the buyers. They would test them and tear them down to see how well they were built. That imposed reasonable quality standards on manufacturers.

With the rise of Amazon that's all gone.
> So you discourage FB employees from leaving the company because no one will hire them for 1 year? That doesn't sound like a wise idea.

I think you'd want to give Facebook employees an out, such as asking them to speak to a better vision for Facebook. Or ask them to tell you that respecting a user's privacy and not manipulating their emotions is paramount at your company.

But the real intention of such a policy isn't to protect Facebook employees or make them feel safe. It's to make potential future Facebook employees think twice about seeking work there. Get them to question the things they would have to do or overlook if they chose Facebook instead of their other options.

Eventually such a policy might cause the Facebook's workforce to hollow out.

Society tells people that stealing and murder are wrong, and we point to the moral and judicial consequences of these actions. I don't see why similar social and career consequences for working at Facebook wouldn't help. And as you brought up, I think it's appropriate to give Facebook employees incredible latitude to side-step such a hiring ban. The goal isn't to harm the employees so much as it is to protect your own company's culture and to hopefully decrease the attractiveness of working at Facebook.
Can confirm.
