Well, animal feces is commonly used as a fertilizer. I think it would be bad news for a plant if bacteria were traveling around inside it.

People reusing human wastes generally try to compost it for a while, I think, probably partly to reduce the risk of diseases, but probably also in a large part to remove the foul smell. Shoveling shit isn't fun.
notionally, the rule was (il)legal since its enactment. rulings merely affirm the legal status of rules, and give the Court the opportunity to order remedies.

for example, if the Court ruled that the Controlled Substances Act were unconstitutional, the government would be forced to free prisoners convicted of violating it, since the law was illegitimate the whole time. but if Congress repealed the act, they'd have no such obligation, since it was still a crime when the felony was committed.
> That’s more than a month of your CO2 quota if we want to limit climate change to +1.5C.

Fortunately, I don't have a CO2 quota, nor are we going to meet any of these targets, nor is there popular support for imposing quotas.

But if you prefer to drive to LA, that's perfectly fine with me.
>but thankfully Procreate is absolutely amazing software that I can use on my iPad

There seems to be a recurring praise for ProCreate. At least every time Photoshop comes up ProCreate is mentioned. ( I even have to search they are not coming from the same user )

I guess I will have to add it to list of research topics.
> It’s amazing how much breath was wasted on “IPC is what really matters” when Ryzen came out and now it’s “the other side of the megahertz myth” when Apple is on top. Ryzen was never even remotely close to being in the lead on IPC compared to where Apple currently is.

IPC is what "really matters" when all the chips you're evaluating are capping out at pretty similar frequencies. When there's a 30% difference in frequency then you need to use instructions per second, and evaluate it with the context of different wattages and different benchmarks.

Right but this is my point. The bootcamp does a terrible job explaining this stuff, so I have to re-teach it in my mentoring sessions.
Ask HN: What's the best 'simple' todo app?
I am looking for a simple todo app.

WunderList was shut down.

Trello is getting messed up by Atlassian.

Todoist is nice, but getting more restrictive by the day.

What are you guys using?
My biggest gripe with offline-first capability of PWAs is speed.
a network roundtrip is generally faster then fetching the same information from indexeddb, and you still have to sync first because indexeddb tends to get wiped at inopportune times.

its great if you're writing a traditional app though, but really unfortunate wrt to the PWAs
> guessing most of the Elixir/Phoenix apps being built aren't needing to integrate with existing boring

I mean... it is, but that's usually done through an API to an existing back office app. For us, we have Elixir sitting there doing orchestration, but it doesn't take over the entire responsibility of an existing app so it doesn't really make sense to rewrite or extend any part of the API into it.
Do they really though? The most common response I get when I ask people why they just don't move to EU outside of family reasons is that after tax comp is way less than US. It never clicks though why is it way less.
Tell HN: FOSS and FLOSS software illegally on sale in Microsoft Store
Yesterday LibreCAD user found that there is un-official 'publishers' which sells "LibreCad 2" and other free & open-source software via Microsoft Store.[0,1]

Yorik van Havre's first reaction was:

> History repeats... Fortunately the community can be quite powerful in those cases[2]

> At least here they didn't rebrand the app and clearly state that it is open-source. Looks like a lawyer's work...[3]

But after few minutes of search we discovered[4,5] there are much more similar cases, and much worse there are half-rebranded FOSS/FLOSS too:

- BRL-CAD as "BRL-CAD" by 'Alef_Soft‬'

- LibreCAD as "LibreCad 2" by 'Alef_Soft'

- FreeCAD as "FreeCad for Windows" by 'appsmedia1'

- Scribus as "Scribus Indesign" by 'Alef_Soft'

- darktable as "DarkTable LightRoom" by 'Alef_Soft'

- Lightscreen as "ScreenShot Lightscreen" by 'Alef_Soft‬'

- GIMP as "GIMP - Image Editor PRO" by 'Yellow Elephant Productions'

- GIMP as "GIMP 2.10 Pro" by 'varapps'

- OpenTTD as "OpenTTD" by 'RetroAppX'

So, if you know other FOSS & FLOSS software which is on sell in Microsoft Store — let us know[6] & ”Lets report them!”[7]

> You can also select multi-core settings, as shown here... These settings change the number of memory barriers used to synchronize memory accesses between cores in apps during emulation. Fast is the default mode, but the strict and very strict options will increase the number of barriers. This slows down the app, but reduces the risk of app errors. The single-core option removes all barriers but forces all app threads to run on a single core.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28732273

zamadatix's interprets this as Microsoft saying that by default, Windows on ARM runs x86 apps without x86 TSO, and turns on extra memory barriers using per-app compatibility settings. But if an app needs TSO but isn't in Windows's database, it will crash or silently corrupt data.
Yes, but to be good at JavaScript, I think you need to learn another language first.
What kind of consistency models [0] do Offline-first databases like RxDB and PouchDB have?

I was thinking read uncommitted, but they might allow dirty writes. Maybe there’s some CRDTs under the hood… I can’t find any documentation on consistency though, anyone here know?

It's just as fair in my opinion.
I thought I'd get a few recipes to try but the result is a $200 academic book :(
You can use database schema compare tools for this. You create a clean empty database using the new DDL and use the tool to compare that schema with the schema for the version in test or prod. The tool will then show the differences and can create a sql script to update the database in test or prod.

I've used this a lot with SQL Server and used the Redgate tools for that and that worked very well. For PostgreSQL, it seems there's a free tool from devart: dbForge Schema Compare [0]. I've never used it and have no idea how well it works...

I drool over the curriculums at bootcamps that use Ruby (like Lambda School and Ironclad). Alas, the one I mentor in does everything in js/react with a little bit of python sprinkled in.
'project called SHEATH ". That's what it is actually. Every SW will have different EM signature because (such a surprise) will execute differently based on what instruction it contains.
Just switch to Linux if you are already switching.
Isn’t this due to supply constraints, at least in part? There simply are not enough teslas available to meet current demand, so they end up buying other brands to avoid waiting a few months.
Shouldn't also blame these people, because the stock market is as much prescriptive as it's predictive: if enough people "vote for their favs with their wallets", those favs may actually start (or keep) doing OK because of that, if they're not completely incompetent.

(Myself, if I had some funds that are not already earmarked for something more important, I'd dump some into TSLA just as an expression of support to Musk and electrification of transport. I'm sure many people did just that, with no expectations of return.)
VB.NET was an amazing first language for me, tbh
Yes, Adobe is bad.

The way I got around this problem was to:

1. Download a Windows 10 virtual machine. It's free.

2. Download Acrobat Pro 2020 Trial for Windows. It has a full installation kit.

3. Install the virtual machine. But don't give it an internet connection.

4. Copy the Acrobat kit to the virtual machine and install it.

5. Make a snapshot of the virtual machine. When the trial expires restore the virtual machine.

It will cost you 30GB of space and 1 hour or so, but Adobe will be contained at least.

> They went from an org, defending free speech, even speech that people don't like.. to a dangerous organization.

From my perspective, they went from defending nearly all speech to excluding from their defense efforts a bit more speech that is highly likely to cause harm.

In other words, they expanded a bit what counts as the equivalent of "shouting 'fire!' in a crowded theater".

It doesn't seem too outrageous to say that Skokie and Charlottesville were far from equivalent, and shouldn't be treated the same.

In Skokie, the verdict was that a peaceful march couldn't be blocked no matter how hateful the speech.

In Charlottesville, the ACLU essentially made the same argument to a judge, despite evidence that the intent wasn't peaceful. The judge was persuaded, the march happened, and tragedy followed.

The ACLU has since come to the conclusion that they were wrong to make that argument. There was enough evidence (that the intent of participants was to provoke violent clashes with the counter-protestors rather than march peacefully) for the ACLU to have refused to defend the case.
Your last sentence indicates my statement was relevant.

Secondly, the entire West, outside of the US, has state run health care, and in every case:

* no one is doing what you suggest

* society gets better health care

* costs are reduced via so many other means

An example? Governments negotiate as large-blocks of purchasers for medication. If corporations do not play ball, then laws can be changed to allow for a reduction in IP rights, length of patents, and so on.

Note that this is not some silly "Stop companies from making profit", but instead, "Stop companies from making insane, over the top, crazy profit at the expensive of poor people dying".

National governments also counter the above, with a restriction on development costs. For example, state run Universities being used to assist in clinical trials, grants for developing certain types of medication, the goal being to reduce risk/profit cost for drug manufacturers, which cite such high profits as necessary due to development costs.

There are so many ways to win/win, without letting people die because they lost their job.

There is also a societal balance, and much like stopping companies from dumping toxic waste, or clear cutting forests (instead of selective cuts), the needs of society must be balanced with the needs for free enterprise.

This is not anti-profit, any more than not having the lot next to your house, become a dumping ground for nuclear waste.

I know all of this seems horrifying, yet bizarrely, the rest of the West seems to handle it quite well.

You might also want to ask yourself, who benefits from scare mongering over such things? You benefits from making you think and absurd idea, that your bacon will disappear because the government pays for health care?

Who?

Oh wait, the for-profit, out of control, massive lobbying health-care providers in the US?

Yes, they want you to feel fear.

Yeah honestly pure Java is a real joy. Other people's Java, and in particular anything involving dependencies is where Java falls apart and becomes ridiculously overly verbose.

I thought it was sort of common knowledge that Apple was going to update the MacBook Pro with a Msomething powerhouse following the other updates, but maybe I’m just completely out of the loop on hardware rumours?

Anyway, I don’t think it’s surprising that the company which has one of the best global production and logistics operations in the world is capable of building good processors. It’s just another part of the puzzle after all.

It’s just a shame that their design department still doesn’t seem to have learned it’s lesson from Jobs in that it once again has failed to build a product that is designed in a way that people want. Why they ever deviated from the MagSafe, why they added the weird screen Function bar and now why they’ve added a bezel to a ducking laptop is really beyond me? Like, do they not use computers? But improving upon the supply chain by creating new powerful hardware? Absolutely within what I would expect from modern Apple.
I just had a similar endless loop on update (Catalina to Big Sur) last week. Apple guided me to do a T2 firmware update which bricked the machine. Sent it in for service.

In Romania most police raids happen at 5 AM, knock on a door a few times if no one answer, the door is breached and everyone is ordered to get on the ground, if it is a child there it is removed by a police officer, taken outside and calmed. The police enter with pistols drawn, no rifles because flats and houses in Romania are small and is hard to maneuver with the rifle. This is done to most criminals regardless of crime.

The reason is that when you raid someone they can get scared and do stupid things like try to attack the officer, try to escape, use a knife, etc. so you need to overwhelm the subject with force and end the encounter as soon as possible. I am not saying that they are shooting the subject , they didn't shoot anyone in 10 years from what I know, they are deterring him from trying to do anything stupid. If 2 skinny cops knock on the door the subject might attack the cops or try to run, if 7 big, armed officers enter the room while the criminal is half asleep then he is not trying anything and he is captured in a safe manner for everyone.

Ermm yeah. TEMPEST (as an acronym for Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanations Standard) has been around many decades and as such its mitigation by actors via various means. It is related to the RF emissions of hardware and ways to decode usable information from it. The name for this project is confusing. It uses TEMPEST characteristics to spot tampering. Which is an interesting use case in itself. They should've chosen another name. This will confuse the hell out of a lot of folks in this specific niche of infosec.

Can anyone with an EV speak to the difference in insurance for these vehicles? That is, if I rented a Tesla, would my regular insurance cover me sufficiently, or would I be a fool not to buy the rental company's insurance addon?

The first phase of the experiment was to have a free zone in the Platzspitz park, with a needle exchanges, and no interference to drug sales and use. The park became known as "needle park."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platzspitz_park

They shut it down in '92, which led to junkies spreading throughout the city, particularly on and around Langstrasse.

It wasn't until a real crackdown that things got better. They tried a few approaches like the treatments you mentioned, but that's very different than the laissez-faire decriminalization experiment that blew up in everyone's face.

Any source for this claim?
There's a perspective I feel is sorely missing in this otherwise great piece and the discussion around it: the larger social and even political perspective. We treat it as an individual problem. What could Jack, as an individual, do? In truth, not much. What could the patents do? In truth, not much.

But maybe we can change things on a larger level. Create a society where heroin isn't as appealing by comparison. Where there are spaces for socializing that aren't about social competition, or at least one where there are more distinct and equally good ways to "win". Maybe one where, if you fall, you don't have to carry the guilt that your family will be dragged down with you.

I was lucky enough to grow up with the historical teetotaller community, since my grandfather was a leader of sorts in it. They used to be very adamant on seeing alcohol use (and of course drug use) as a social problem, not an individual one born out of "weakness of will" or genetic factors. They quite deliberately tried to create new social arenas without alcohol, and cultivate a sense of community and common purpose which could make it more than yet another arena for social competition. But they quite literally couldn't keep up with the times. The social venues they made were of types that were extremely popular in their day, but are exotic at best today (e.g. lodges). And along with the rest of society, they gradually embraced AA's medicalized, individualized understanding of alcoholism, turning the message from one of collective self-defense ("we're building this to defend ourselves as a community from the scourge of alcohol") to one of sympathy with the medicalized Other ("We're abstaining out of solidarity with those individuals who will become alcoholics if they touch alcohol").
Why is that?. Is this because you're on a fibre link? indexedDB is being used with several layers to add a comfy SQL and ORM layer for you?

I've used indexedDB on a couple of projects at work, while there are definitely downsides with its indexing design, limited querying options and the menagerie of fuckups by Team Fruit(TM), it works well as a local cache when our clients are out on site with their customers and all they've got is a crappy intermittent 3/4g signal.

Oh man, if only I knew what was wrong with it half the time. I've replaced the ROM with 1.9 since it supposedly has diagnostics but they don't tell me much. I've been trying to design a new cartridge for it, but writing to it is always super funky. The service manual doesn't exactly say what the timings are supposed to be, just the pinout.

Mostly though I've just got some weird dirty hiss (sounds like a rainstorm) on the output all the time that makes it unsuitable for recording. I use DEXED + midi in that case, but it's still fun on it's own (also weirdly I find menu-diving to edit patches easier than being presented with that big DEXED UI)

Thanks for keeping these things alive
