This is the same frustrating nonsense I see over and over. And it's frustrating specifically because many of his points I can agree with (somewhat), but shit like this always devolves into "the evil government and media is trying to keep you down".

I mean look at all the talk of "authoritarianism" and "people enjoy being subjugated". I can only assume he's talking about things like mask and vaccine mandates. Which is so fucking bizarre to me because we've had things like seatbelt and helmet laws for decades, vaccine mandates ever since I was born, and one of his complaints is that "the government and media can politicize anything"?? None of this shit used to be politicized to anywhere near the degree it is today - now even things that have the most mild downsides, yet with clear benefits to others, are "the government is out to own you". All with the same bullshit tone of "ahh, look at those ignorant sheeple"...
Another way of doing it is on the Daily Standup, when the topic moves on to Anything else?
Gnome 41 hasn’t crashed on me in a very long time. Was it perhaps something bad with an extension? (Though I believe it doesn’t crash the whole thing usually)
I'm vaccinated, but I'm also glad that Trump couldn't have written an Executive Order to inject the population with bleach. There does need to be some limits on what the executive can do, that said, Congress should just pass a law if that's the right thing to do.

IMHO that's on the very low end of vulnerabilities to be concerned about, but the paranoia-kings would rather disable an entire feature because of it. A sad reflection of what the software/security industry has become. (At the very high end is automatic remote code execution, something which I really hope a GPU driver would never have, but then again, I've been surprised too many times already... )
Do you have any sense of why? It works best for me on small teams and startups, since that's where we need people to own and iteratively address full problems. "Understand and address why users of type X aren't returning" is not too confusing, especially if you have good communication processes during the actual work.
ITA Matrix is a great tool for a power user to search for flights, and the time bar view is brilliant. Google's done a pretty good job with Google Flights, but there are still crazy things you can build in ITA Matrix that it's tough to find anywhere else (unless you are/know a travel agent and/or have a GDS). I've said for a while that if Google ever kills off matrix.itasoftware.com I would build a replica.
What I learned is that I was giving way too much credits to humans than what they deserved.

People I thought were rational just turned complete morons.

My disappointment is high, I'm getting lonelier and lonelier.
Parts of the tech scene have a libertarian bent.
Tried OVH once. Couldn't even finish the account setup. Was rather dissapointed because I wanted not to depend on just one provider. Might give them a chance again.

Oof. I'd love to know why.

If I had to guess it's related to how DirectX12/Vulkan/Metal/Mantle are all about the basic idea that if you have a full MMU on the GPU, you can expose a more direct, console like API. The idea being that at worst you can only crash your own process's GPU context and that was always allowed. Maybe Intel found a hole in their MMU's implementation that lets you break out from the GPU side? I feel like it would have to be some hardware issue that fundamentally break's DX12's value add if patched to decide to just wholesale remove the feature.
Has anyone switched from Spacemacs to Doom Emacs? Are there special advantages Doom offers that make this switch worthwhile?
With your 1000 comments per day, you should know better. Users can't flag posts, they can only downvote posts. Users can only flag articles. My posts are flagged but not negatively downvoted. Mods definitely can flag posts.

Given your plethora of comorbidities, I understand why you would be so concerned about the vaccine, but unlike you, most of us talk about the specific topic at hand, such at the Pfizer therapeutic drug.
On Monday, Nov. 1 2021, Martino died after suffering from a chronic respiratory disorder. He was 77.

Martino recovered from surgery with a significant portion of his brain and memory gone, but his guitar skills intact.

I used to run a discussion group for people with neurological quirks. The details of how the brain works and the strange exceptions you wouldn't predict are endlessly fascinating.
I mean, Pop OS is just ubuntu with a few tweaks here and there — not taking away from them but let’s be honest.

It is absolutely not an interesting distro in itself, from a technical point of view.
A lot of larger courts have a proprietary document management system that typesets the final documents. And a lot of smaller courts use the modern-day WordPerfect suite (with Paradox and Perfect Authority) as a sort of home-grown one. It depends a lot on the individual court and government.

In this case the metadata just tells us the PDF was generated by iText, so it's probably from a Java or .NET DMS the court uses. The use of Butterick's Equity suggests it's pretty new but I wasn't able to figure out what product they're using.
It'd be great if Amtrack could improve its only profitable line instead of using it subsidize all the ones that lose money.
I'll never forget when I was 6 or so and visiting my grandparents.

My grandma had decided to do something wild and new and had made one of those newfangled frozen pizzas for dinner, kids loved those she'd read.

So we sat down, each getting a slice, and then she serves my grandfather a small plate with three cooked potatoes on it...

I ask what's the potatoes are for.

"It's not dinner if there's no potatoes".

And with that, he ate pizza with potatoes.
Even with garbage collection, you still can manage memory manually on top of gc by creating a pool and managing it manually.
If you’re organized enough to have space for Termux on your phone, it does wonders in this department. I feel silly every time I punch Python code into that teensy touch keyboard, but damned if I know anything else that has a better input UI and isn’t orders of magnitude less versatile. (Maple Calculator and microMathematics are still on the “there was an attempt” level, in my experience.)

Yeah, it's a questionable move. However, those who care more about DX12 on Haswell iGPUs than about the risk coming from the patched vulnerability have the option of staying on the previous driver, at least.

The way I see it is that the writing has been on the wall for pre-Skylake iGPUs ever since Intel refused to make DCH drivers for them. Ultimately, even the (U)HD series seems to be a stopgap that is lasting longer than Intel wishes it did.
I think Siri gets some of its results from Wolfram Alpha.
The election that you picked lacked any credible candidates outside of London Breed: the rest had spent their shot during the special election after Ed Lee's death.

In the previous election, she controversially was given the role of acting mayor and held it through the election, giving her a huge boost of energy from people who were willing to just let her stay since she was already there.

> Persuade 20,000 and you're a council member.

Well, it's slightly trickier than that. Supervisor elections are district-based, so you need to capture a specific subset of San Francisco's voters. (And we call them Supervisors rather than council members as they serve as both city and county representatives for the combined city/county structure of San Francisco.)
The point is not that you shouldn't do these things. The point is that Rust does not provide any tools to help you do it safely. Mutation is also a necessary thing in programming, which can be unsafe if done incorrectly. Rust has many built in rules for keeping mutation safe and requires labelling functions that mutate. For side effects, there is not much of a safety net in rust.
Decimation was rarely used IIRC.

But as far as I can tell, the Romans were similar in a lot of ways to the Spartans. Probably everyone was in the region, the Spartans were just a bit more extreme, and had the best propaganda.

But look at what the Romans had - pater familias (the father of a household could legally murder a weak infant, or technically anyone under them including any adult male sons), legends like Troy and Horatius Cocles, plantation slavery to keep the city fed, and a violent and hierarchical society run almost entirely by veteran officers from noble families - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursus_honorum

Ok, we know they’ve been lying, and deep down we knew it whenever they were lying. Now what? Just another case of large entrenched interests screwing everybody else (in this case, essentially actually everybody else) that demonstrates futility in holding anyone accountable? Just another data point to support presumption of no credibility when businesspeople testify to Congress?

I haven't looked into Bazel at all, other than knowing it's a build system used at Google. Sounds a lot like Nix's philosophy of totally sandboxed/declarative package builds, although instead of needing a monorepo with every piece of software you can just grab a reproducible build from nixpkgs.

I did, I used spacemacs for a few years, but switched to Doom at the beginning of 2020. It is dramatically faster in start up and usage. I also find the configuration a lot easier and straightforward. I did the initial switch because Java LSP was stalling out spacemacs constantly.
There are various 'passthrough' approaches to let a virtual machine have access to the hosts TPM. In the future, that may become mandatory.
Has anyone here used both offlineimap and mbsync and can speak to how these two compare?
Absolutely. If you watch the youtube video linked in this thread, SPJ makes that very comment, that a program with zero effects is useless.

However, the goal of haskell (and indeed any language trying to be safe in the way SPJ means) is to be able to have most code be safe/effect-free, and then to have effects be very carefully controlled and limited in their use. Things like the IO monad mean many parts of haskell code can't do IO in fact.

We obviously do want some sort of effect in the end, but the idea is it's safer to contain those effects in very limited places, and not allow effects to happen literally anywhere at any time.

Note, unsafe in the SPJ video was specifically about effects, while "unsafe" in rust terminology is mostly about memory safety, so those two terms really aren't the same word, and to be honest that can make communication less clear. I don't know what "category of unsafe" meant in your comment really.
> The price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio) is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). The price-to-earnings ratio is also sometimes known as the price multiple or the earnings multiple.

Haskell is still niche, but if the gaming community gets wind of that thing Epic is using for their systems, they might get interested in a vastly different way people are looking at haskell and pure fp right now. This might bring a new (and vast) crowd, and a crowd that might come with an apriori appreciation of haskell (because of the Epic brand trust), this often causes a religious view on whatever idea is learned.
> Java 8, if you use corretto, is supported until 2026.

Interesting, I was not aware of this. I've not seen people use Corretto either, but it seems OpenJDK has a separate project just to maintain Java 8. So that's indeed still fine to use.

> And java being java and jumping to 11 won't be that bumpy either.

The update from 8 to 9 was rather painful in the beginning, mostly due to libraries not working well with the module system. I'm not sure how it is nowadays, it could have gotten better.

9→10→11→12→13→14→15→16→17 were very painless. I don't foresee a lot of companies getting stuck on those, though it's too early to tell.
This is a common fallacy. Public bathhouses were common in medieval Europe, a legacy of Rome, and by the 18th century, “therapeutic bathing” was a thing.
We still have capital punishment so, yeah.

I'll offer that was probably not any more common in Mayan life than ours now and those glyphs and stories are a sort of example used to keep folks in check or aggrandize the rulers of the day and in regards to those not much has changed.
> I think the argument is that a powerful Prime Minister is not really subordinated to parliament- that Merkel does not, in practice, really answer to the party, but instead the party answers to her.

Merkel always governed as leader of a coalition - mostly a “grand coalition” with the traditional main left-wing party (the SPD), although her second cabinet was a coalition with the classically liberal FDP instead. So, forget about answering to her own party - if at any point her coalition partners had felt it was in their political self-interest to do so, they could have collapsed the government.

I think this argument is really drawing on the fact that Merkel was genuinely popular with the German electorate, which protected her against any desire by her party or coalition partners to push her out - they knew the electorate would punish them if they tried.

But, true power does not depend on popularity, it continues even when people don’t like you any more. A US President may become despised by both Congress and the voters, yet to remove them before their term is up, Congress needs to allege actual wrongdoing (as opposed to just “we don’t like you any more”) and needs a super-majority. By contrast, an unpopular German Chancellor can be removed by their party and/or coalition partners, before the end of the electoral term, without needing any parliamentary super-majority or specific allegations of wrongdoing. In that sense the German Chancellor is subject to the Bundestag, to a much greater extent than any US President is subject to Congress.
Getting laid off and shown the door immediately after (plus having your access to systems and buildings revoked) is very common.

The reason for this is because the HR person drafting this policy probably had someone take advantage of the window between when someone is told they are laid off and when they are actually terminated, and so the policy gets made to reduce that liability. It sucks for the 90% of people who wouldn't do anything, but that's how it works. Imagine getting told you're your laid off, then your laptop handed in before you even leave the meeting room, then a security guard or HR person escorts you to your desk to pack your things in a box before they walk you out the building.

Mind you, you'd probably still get some severance bonus or keep getting paid for weeks or months, but you just wouldn't be expected (or able) to work.
> Future histories will probably be written about exactly why the country obsessed so much over the safety of the least vulnerable group...

Anecdotal observation, but this history was and is being written now. Unfortunately, those voices are consistently dismissed, marginalized, etc. The article itself notes mentions the near zeto rate of children effected, but zooms right by it, as if questioning such things shouldn't happen.

History is written by the victors. It will be a long time - read: 100+ yrs - before there's an objective take on the last couple yrs.
200 years later, not much has changed. Kava is a food consumed for thousands of years across the Pacific Islands. It's the national drink of Fiji.

This seems like the same case the parent raised about touch screens, in that a camera also has limited real estate
I'll be another voice so that it's not just Chris :)

Backover accidents are real. Cameras help a lot. Arguments about "but they are not in all cars" forget that seatbelts, airbags, and ABS were also once in that category.

If you are worried about drivers not being hardcore enough and relying too much on cameras: do you know how to use a choke? What about a crank start? An unsynchronized gearbox?
I have found that running the html email through w3m generates usable text in almost all cases:

text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;

... in your .mailcap. The result is usually better than what ends up in in the text portion of dual text/html emails. Particularly nice when someone thinks they need html to show a table.

This one in particular is not worthwhile on the front page of HN, that's my take. They're most definitely useful for beginners, or maybe people just learning about databases.

I'm not going to not post simply because you find it disagreeable, there are plenty of people here who seem to agree with me.

Blameless post mortems are great, for your team. I am not his team mate, and I don't really feel a kinship with every developer under the sun. And for what it's worth I don't blame this developer for anything. If anything I lament the institutions that failed them on the way to this point in time. To me this is a symptom of systemic rot.
This anti consumer approach by Apple is why I refuse to buy anything from them. My last Apple purchase was the iPad Gen 1 as I thought it was a truly remarkable device when it came out but the planned obsolescence was obvious after a few short years.

Recently I had my XPS15 power cord plug break and while I waited for the spare part (that I could repair myself) I had the pleasure of borrowing my partner's MacBook which was an amazing experience compared to Windows. However, that experience is nothing to the cost and pain if something with the hardware goes wrong. Even when I forgot my Apple ID (as it had been so long) it took over a week before Apple deemed it okay for me to recover my password.

I get the seduction of using a snappy beautiful machine and UX, but I just don't think it's worth it tying myself to Apple and being walled in the whole ecosystem upgrade treadmill.
That thread is anti-mask anti-vaxxer nonsense. He's putting "pandemic" and "the science" and "safety" in quotes as though they're not real.

He's complaining that people have been conditioned to wear masks and take vaccines while ignoring the very good reasons for doing so, i.e. preventing each other from dying. He believes that anyone who wears a mask is an authoritarian who enjoys being subjugated, rather than a compassionate person who cares about the health of their community.

That whole thread is insulting. I lean fairly libertarian in terms of civil rights, but I still wear a mask and support vaccine mandates because the unvaccinated are spreading the virus, filling hospitals and killing people.

One of my family members has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. His treatment has been delayed by months because the hospitals are full. Almost 80% of those eligible are vaccinated in my country, yet over 90% of the people taking up ICU beds are unvaccinated COVID patients. It fills me with rage to think that he may die because the hospitals are overflowing with those who refused to wear masks and refused to get vaccinated.
What? Apple will just give them a signing key or, more likely, build a portal for law enforcement to use. If they can provide those tools to authorized repair centers they’ll have to give them to the government when compelled.
I used the HN site link ( https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=uscourts.gov ) to quickly grab an older filing from the 5th circuit, which shows a similar Adobe PDF Library; modified by iText as the Producer, and PDFMaker for Word as the Creator.

Of course they may have upgraded to something else that shows the same producers, but the pattern is still there.

Everywhere I’ve worked, unless someone was walked out the door, it happened early in the week and they were paid to the end of the week before their severance package even began. If you’re going to lose your job, having most of a fully paid week to take it in helps soften the landing.

Layoffs on Friday are awful. People have lives. They have appointments and kids’ soccer practice and grocery shopping and such. Now they have to reconcile that they’re unemployed during those tasks?

I’d call that respectful. Well, as respectful as you can be when you lay someone off.
Excuse me, but does your alternative provide toolchains and user interfaces for every major platform in existence today, including Mac, *nix, iOS, Android, Windows, a library for every major language in existence, and 25 years of attempts to break it?

If not, I don't see how you can claim it is superior in every way, because here are at least two ways in which PGP/GPG are by far superior.
