>"dictating" is a landmine word, and almost certainly causes an arguement

I believe it's a fair statement. If you come in with economic sanctions with policy in mind. You have dictated what that policy is. There's no beating around the bush.
Were they taking sales from Apple, to any major extent? Or just shifting around the Android market? If the latter, I can't imagine Apple'd care. Samsung's been doing the same thing (being the Apple of Android) for quite a while, and it hasn't mattered much.
At the time of that statement, Cedars-Sinai researchers were actively evaluating use of UV lights in the lungs for treating COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

Preliminary research results look promising but it will probably take several more years for such devices to be available for routine patient care.

The most common reason to want this is for long running programs with a plug-in architecture. Here’s my advice, for use cases where the plug-in and the plug-in loader are both under your control:

1. Don’t directly dlopen the .so file. Copy it to a temporary file and dlopen that. Much fewer headaches that way when the original .so file changes. Bonus points for using Linux’s memfd or FreeBSD’s SHM_ANON.

2. Rely as little on global/thread-local state as possible in the plug-in. Minimize the use of non-reentrant function calls in exported functions.

3. Don’t use musl. Its dlclose is a no-op and will cause memory leaks.

4. If the plug-in is to be accessed across multiple threads, copy the symbols you’ll need from the plug-in into a struct, and maintain a reference count alongside the struct. When reloading the plug-in, create a new struct for all new threads to use, and free the old struct when its reference count goes to zero.

Yes and: With Amazon's comingling, you could unknowlingly receive a knockoff vs original.
> (just because you interview a right/left winger doesn't make you that thing)

Indeed not but your reaction to what they're saying does - if you sit there and don't push back against X-wing views, that does tend to paint you as X-wing-leaning yourself (regardless of where you were born and where you claim to be politically.)

In the linked video from above, for example, there's no pushback to Zuby's strongly conservative views about trans people, wokeness, abortion, etc.
If people were using Bitcoin for that purpose I might agree.
Thank you sir, you brought many many hours of enjoyment to my childhood. I remember being excited to go to my Aunt's house because she had a computer with Windows XP (my family only had Windows 2000) and I could play your game.

And only on hacker news will I be replying to one of the authors.
If you're using sudo, then the root password is irrelevant; it's the local users password that elevates permissions.

I see this as both good and bad - users should know their own private credential (rather than the shared "secret" root passwd), but as it's a password they use regularly (potentially multiple times a day), it's easy for people to use something less secure than they otherwise would for "root".
I could not immediately tell from the published research what sunscreen alternatives are a better choice. Seems the general advice is to avoid sunscreen containing both zinc and titanium oxide. Apparently the EU has a lot of options to choose from, and while there are fewer options in the US.
The Al Jazerra doc covered the problems assembling the airframes _because the parts used to make the fuselage were defective_ They were cut by hand because the manufacturer never assembled the CNC machine.
When I go to the grocery store, for example, the items are side by side on the same shelf. GIF peanut butter is next to the store brand at the same eye level.

When I look for something on Amazon the higher rated item is often below the fold. Being below the fold makes a huge difference to buyers. Sometimes I see it on the second page.

These are two very different ways of displaying things.
The story here is really one of metastasis of university administration

Indeed it is, I agree. My point is professors have been happy to let administrators stomp all over the rights of students but suddenly diversity of thought and protecting dissident opinions is important now that it's the professors in the crosshairs. Don't get me wrong; this is a horrible development. It just comes with a tinge of poetic justice.
>People who don't know anything get confused, but this is going to be older people who are struggling to use computers, the people that call the Microsoft Edge icon "the internet".

You'd be surprised. Research has found that the "digital native" generations (younger people born into/after the internet age) are no better at these things than the "older people" - the whole "digital native" thing is a myth in this regard.

It's mostly about being interested in tech/a nerd vs not. Kids that don't, might know 100 ways to use Instagram or specific tools they need, but can't tell a URL bar from a search bar (and other basic distinctions/skills) either.

This learned helplessness scares me a bit. It's like the willingness to comprehend stops at "tap".

This. Thanks.
Also, 50 is pretty young. Skin cancer would probably not get most people before they were 50, even with a lot of sun exposure. I bet some did die of skin cancer younger than 50, too.

Looks like Honda Accord is approaching $32k on average[0].

200k Honda Accords sold in the U.S. 2020[1].
450k Tesla Model 3 + Y sold globally[2].

Though Model 3 and Y average price closer to $49k and $65k respectively[3].

If I have a point, it's that if you have $35k to spend, you're probably getting a high trim level Honda Accord. Because you need another $15k to get an "average" Tesla Model 3.

(Obviously the Model 3 is worth spending $50k for lots and lots of buyers!)

No way. Grilling implies the heat comes from below while the food sits on a grill, as opposed to broiling where the heat comes from above. Neither is a perfect description of humans cooking due to global warming, but our heat definitely comes from above.
Regular users don't actually know anything about the difference. They look at how many megapixels the camera has and the resolution of the screen and things like that, because they're numbers you can compare. Regular users don't know what "stock Android" is. And then they come home with a phone full of bloatware and complain about it after.

Nobody actually buys the phone for the bloatware. These companies are wasting their money developing it. They just want the phone with the better camera.

The real problem is that techies can't improve Android because the hardware vendors are shipping custom kernels and their hardware can't use the stock kernel. So Android is "open source" but there is no ecosystem of people scratching that itch with the improvements flowing to the ordinary users because it's so hard to modify what came with your device. Especially when many of the techies still care about the better screen and camera.

Think about it this way. There is no reason every Android phone on the market shouldn't come with the option of stock Android. Even if you think the majority of "regular users" wouldn't want it, the availability of it would get them a few sales from techies, right? And then we would really find out what people want, because they get the choice without it being tied to the rest of the hardware.
This is an excellent point. If "operating profit" also includes app store revenues, payment revenues (remember, Apple requires apps use their payment platform), and content revenues, the likes of Samsung, et al, are at a serious disadvantage and can only compete on device margins as they can't tap into any of those revenue streams.

I got a big floppy sun hat like you see the ultra-runners or toddlers at the beach wearing. I look like a dork but I can take the kids out all day riding bikes, fishing, playground and don't need sunscreen.

I still sunscreen the kids because they take their hats off all the time.
Countering Threats from Iran
Yes, but researching these alternatives takes time and energy. Personally, I rather spent a £1-2k more on my tech gadgets per year than leaving the Apple ecosystem, which works well for me.
Would you mind sharing general region and decide for context?

My American Midwestern childhood was largely similar in the late 90’s, but I still had one parent at home full time.
That's interesting. Personally, I like the term equity specifically because it is not equality, which has a problematic history and doesn't actually tend to make sense in terms of actual policy.

Biden to have audience with Pope Francis during trip to Rome
In my area there was a huge push for functional programming and F# some years ago. A long time ago since I heard anybody working with F#. Clojure is somewhat popular though in fintech.

Functional programming is something I think one should learn cause the concepts are useful in other programming languages too. Over time what is useful in functional programming languages will be available in other languages. In fact, a lot already is. Functional programming is not an USP in my world.

When I started with C#, code bases were full of GoF patterns, if and switch statements were banned, there were hierarchies of inheritance, there were states spread out and encapsulated everywhere, static functions were banned. Today, code bases are mostly stateless except for things that needs to be reused, there are pure functions everywhere, inheritance is mostly used in libraries and where interfaces can’t be used (yet), switch is ok and pattern matching is around the corner in several languages.

More unpopular opinions. Immutability is overrated. In some programming styles, in some old languages there was a high risk of changing something by accident. Typical cause people did not know if they were working on a reference or a copy. Also, it was common to change fields on purpose. This problem does not really exist in a lot of programming languages today. But I do wonder if Go coders code benefit from some more immutability.

I think the future of F# looks very dark but the functional style of programming will for sure have its place. What could change this is if F# really excels in some area like Go have done.

Goodbye Mr. Marx: Anarchist Critique of Marxism
All of that is true, but the article cites the company officially stating:

> We didn’t see sick leave beyond normal.
> To kick off the flamewar: is discussing any treatment but vaccines still == "spreading anti-vax misinformation"?

Saying that a test with 5 patients of whom one didn’t survive has benefits to be harnessed is misinformation. All it indicates is that it may be possible to reduce viral load by exposing internal tissue to UVA light and that the treatment doesn’t seem to kill patients immediately.

Let’s see if they can do it with more patients and show some statistically significant results.
Most regular users want as many features as they can get, for a reasonable price point. And Samsung is king in that market – their A series phones have a huge sales volume.

Some users can afford real premium phones. And Samsung's offerings mostly just kinda suck software wise, even when the hardware is decent. Techies know this and have a huge variety of stock Android alternatives to choose from (which, somehow, continue to exist…), and even non-techies very quickly figure out that Apple or Google Pixel phones just work, unlike Samsung's.
>Stabilize populations to 1960s or whatever, but we need to do the same as we’re doing for pollution set a benchmark and aim for it. Get those people educated, provide them with prophylactics and get them out of a pop explosion curve and get to ZPG like Italy and Japan (US as well if we didn’t import pop growth).

So about 3 billion people is stable? You're saying we need a reduction of about 5 billion? How do we do that? Which countries need massive depopulation?
Is it only hype? What about road adherence, endurance, etc. As long as I don't see independent assessments by car journalists, I'll reserve my judgement.

But if they live up to the hype, it will be a game changer indeed.
Crypto is not being used in any meaningful quantity for anything except speculation and crime.

While some crypto may be at some point in the future a decent medium of exchange, at this point they're all deflationary and inefficient, leading only to uses in marketing stunts (Tesla, El Salvador, etc.)
Do you want to reframe duels to the death as gun violence and then consider America, which is the most clear comparison?
GitLab has already turned into "The Homer". It has hundreds (thousands?) of features, but if you stray away from the core git functionality you'll very quickly realise they're pretty bad.

I've always seen GitLab as a useful tool for smaller companies where you can use it to replace several other applications (e.g. JIRA, Jenkins, or wiki), but if your company already has those established it all becomes somewhat useless.

> The only reason I still would use Django today is the amazing Admin interface

What framework might you use if you had to build a multi-vendor marketplace with hundreds of forms and only 1% of the form fields require JavaScript for interaction? Would Django be a bad choice? I don't have experience with Django, but I have experience with Rails and Node.js, and I would pick Rails over Node.js for such a project without any hesitation.

> If you're using sudo, then the root password is irrelevant

This is very true, but I'd also like to add that getting root privileges might not even be that important.

You only need privileges for the user owning the data.

You might not get to root, but you can still do a fair amount of stuff with non-root.
The term is loosely defined, and others seem to be biting on the bait of insulting facebook here.

There are different ways the election process can be "attacked". Voter fraud is individual voters/real people committing fraud by, say, voting multiple times. Voting system fraud would be someone hacking the machines or ballot stuffing. There is gerrymandering, which is its own type of attack on the system.

What Facebook is probably referencing, and what the Russia/Trump investigation was largely about, was disinformation/misinformation campaigns intended to produce a particular result in an election. While government can play a role in protecting people from this by debunking objectively false data and "hitting back" at state-sponsored campaigns, it shouldn't be shocking that the larger social media platforms have the insight and capability to detect and rebut *isinformation on their sites.
42 characters obviously.

I always remove sudo from my laptops, su works fine inside tmux. Since the laptop screen is locked when I'm away, the tmux session (with root) can stay active for weeks, so not much typing the root pw.

My everyday remote machines all have an ssh-key for root (and a very complex password that I have printed on a paper at home).

I use
pwgen -sync "${1:-42}" -1

> When I buy amazon brand, I know that product has honest reviews and a seller that backs the quality guarantee. This is not a lie, that's the fact.

I accept as fact that you believe it.

As recently as yesterday, I found Amazon items w/ 4.5 * rating and topped with 1 * reviews. I find insufficient reason to trust anything on Amazon by default.
Given that animals can also get skin cancer from excessive sun exposure, I think your basis for this belief is flawed.

Also not burning in the sun doesn't indicate anything, not everyone gets sunburn and it doesn't mean your skin cells DNA are not being damanged and increasing the chance of cancer.

Prehaps more relevant to modern life is the ozone layer was vastly stronger in the past which filtered out the damaging frequencies.

Stay out the sun!
I will grant that a small fraction of iPhone owners do a careful analysis similar to yours. And good for them.

But just look at Apple ads to see what their real market is. Their ads don't argue that they're a good value. Apple established themselves as a luxury good that indicates wealth and social status. Their ads look like other ads for wealthy people. The reason Apple doesn't make a cheap phone is the same reason Porche doesn't make a cheap car. They could, but it would drop total profit as the luxury premium evaporates.

The funny thing is, I've heard people make the exact same argument people are making here but for Louis Vuitton bags. It's something they use every day! They're so well made that they last a long time! They have great resale value! And all of those things are true, but people who spend $100 on a purse are still going to give side-eye to people who spend $1000 or $10,000, and I think that's fine. In my view status goods are a plague upon humanity.
I'm willing to bet that all of these combined don't even come within an order of magnitude to the iOS app store.

This is my mom. Trying to walk her through steps on the phone like logins and lost passwords is a nightmare.

I imagine it would be like a car mechanic trying to walk me through changing the oil over the phone. Since it's not in my interests, I just want it to work, I don't have any desire to learn it.
I've done this too, but what I e learned is that many libraries have really inflexible APIs or are written to only handle very basic cases. Like, if your parser builds an AST internally, would it kill library devs to expose that AST or the functions that manipulate it? It's not like that's never a thing, but it amazes me how common it is for library code to be written like developers will never want different behavior. This is what has made writing things like static site generators more time consuming for me than it should be.
Definitely. It was available (apparently) even with a Win95 upgrade pack, so it's very old.
