Ooof, I am curious to know when he lied. I'm sure he mischaracterizes some things but that can be an understandable mistake and he has in the past followed up to correct himself.

But lying is a pretty big claim, and not that I've seen all his content but I've never had a reason to believe that he has intentionally deceived people on any of his public platforms.

I'd be happy to see an example where you believe he did.

Potassium bitartrate is also a great introduction to crystals.

Get a bottle of good red wine, 2010 or thereabouts. Uncork and drink it. Now look at the bottom of the last glass, if you still can, and - voila - potassium bitartrate.

If you don't find any, don't despair and try another bottle.
Same here, I agree and relate to every bit you said. I always thought it'd be a bad idea for me to have kids, my childhood/early-adulthood was absolute chaos, abuse, serious depression, homelessness, the works. Met "the one", we wanted kids, a decade later I can see it's the best thing that ever happened to me. My brain can still be a very scary place, but they give me purpose/direction/motivation to do better and make sure they don't grow up how I did.

I do now have an illness that's "almost definitely terminal" (but haven't been given a definitive timeframe yet), and old-me would've just ended it to get it over with without a second thought, but instead now I'm driven to make sure my wife/kids have the best possible life set up before I go.
That's just an excuse and a poor one at that. Many languages (C, Fortran, C++) have multiple implementations and don't get to fix design flaws in the standard library; JavaScript is not unique in these requirements.

The only special thing about JavaScript is that after 25+ years the standard library is still grossly inadequate.

> Reviewer able to make tiny changes to the code without a further round trip to the developer. Things like "missing full stop here" or "Please put a comment warning about X here". Developer should get a heads up that their code has been merged with changes, just so the tiny changes don't go unreviewed.

I don't think IBIS systems have enough travel to do something like that, especially for the longer focal lengths where this would be useful. In the meantime optical stabilizers and IBIS systems already smooth your pans on the micro-level pretty well.
open firmware was still default in mac up until ~2008 (I bought a mac mini to play). I'm not sure it's still there though.
>I do wonder if my experience is representative of the norm or not.

When you need help, you find out pretty quickly that institutional support is like bumpers in a bowling alley gutter - it's crude and manufactured. It might keep you on the lane, it sure doesn't help you bowl any better. You also find out that even well-intentioned people aren't much better.

What sucks about suicidality is that everyone is so sterile about it.

Maybe it's that everyone is so on guard against personal connections except from select loved ones. For some people, it might even require talking to someone in a similar headspace just to get on the same page and start talking for real. But I've found out I helped people after the fact, and if I knew I was playing defense going in, I'd probably would have been too scared to say the things I did.

Anyway, here's a nice article, the first half of which explains that failure to communicate better than I ever could: https://eggreport.medium.com/envying-the-dead-skyking-in-mem...
This is making the assumption a lot of consumer will be doing self repair. Basic Distribution are already done with current programme. Especially in US.

> presumably they need to come with proper packaging, instructions, disclaimers etc.

This will be the same as current Apple Authorized Service Provider. Except for a few parts which has MOQ.

>The people claiming that this can be done (well) in a few weeks

People are only claiming this isn't prepared in years. Not to mention it only begins launching in early 2022. It is basically building on top of what they announced in 2019, and later expanded or updated in 2020. The biggest obstacles for Apple is likely legal clearance.
You’ve only really stated though that these policies are deliberate, which I think few people would have thought otherwise, not that they’re necessarily the best policies there can be. The question is if they’re actually better for the bottom line than the alternative (given the timeframe that the people who make and influence these decisions care about). Is ”squeezing out an extra pay cycle” or two possible missing the forest for the trees, if customers who were happy with the cancellation process are more likely to return, proselytize for you and so on? Not saying that’s the case, very open to being influenced either way if anyone has data to share.
"from a joke last friday to this" ..... all of this stuff is treated like a game. Everything is not a game. The attitude behind all of these stunts and NFTs and everything is fucking ridiculous and points to so much wrong behind the scenes it's unnerving
Alzheimers reduced my father to a lost shell of his former self, but I wouldn't trade any day I ever spent with him for anything. Regardless of the state he was in at the end, he was still my father and I loved every moment we had together. He was the gentlest, kindest, strongest and most thoughtful man I ever knew and that's exactly how I remember him. That's just my own opinion.
Into actual css files or just <style> tags? It’s kind of the same idea, you scope down to such a granular level that the style literally applies to that one element. It bypasses CSS and forces style composition to occur at a programmatic level (Component-first thinking).

It’s one thing to utilize the convenience of css-in-js as needed, but we have, as usual, gone to the extreme and just wholesale ditched css lol.
This might be true in the USA, but the EU has a thing called database rights[0]. Essentially, any collection of data can under certain circumstances be protected under database rights, which prevents other parties from copying (parts of) it. This originally was created to protect such things as phone books and other directories, but when I was a student (I don't remember the context anymore), they specifically warned us that scraping certain websites would violate their database rights, and thus be illegal. So using scrapers in the EU is something you should be very careful with, especially if your business depends on it.

The Map data structure intrigues me as one of the main reasons I'd use a Map in other languages is for the O(1) access time complexity. I like that the footnotes give more insight into how Elixir is implementing these things under the hood.
Again, I'm saying "this is how it has functioned" (with numerous citations). NOT "this is what I want".

For some reason, despite my repeatedly telling you that your interepretation is incorrect, you persist in the false interpretation.

Perhaps I need to find more effective nonverbal means of persuasion....

Though for now I'll point you to HN guidelines:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

Seems you're transgressing all of these, if not also others.

The goal I seek is a world of far more responsible addressing of risks. The most downtrodden don't even make good victims, in the sense of society, governments, and regulators addressing their conscerns. If there is to be hurt felt, it should be far nearer centres of power and wealth, not further.

Where, if ever, have you seen the approach you advocate work? Even in, say, the case of reforms in child labour, workplace safety, an public health, it has only ever been in transferring pain to the privileged oligarchy, whether through strikes, lawsuits, protest, or open rebellion, that progress seems to be made. People are remarkably insensitive to the pains of others. I very much wish it weren't so, but wishing does nothing.
I can just imagine the weeping historians and archivists of the future learning that this happened. Digitized artifacts are not the same artifacts, even when photographed at incredible resolution. We keep finding more ways of understanding objects that rely on more than just their text or visual perception.

I thought the same and had a friend say that too a few months ago.
> This feels like a whole lot of "ifs" for a project trying to collection $20M.

I have never been suicidal. I do know, having been through a months long Stage IV cancer watch, which provides a solid view of the terminal medical industrial complex experience, I'll efficiently terminate myself before embarking on that way to go.

That said, I have never understood why people think that having kids has no effect on your mental health. When we had our child, I thought nothing of it; I was in a partnership and that's what the partner wanted. However, after the year or so larval stage, we began to realize that the experience of having a kid, steadily growing, seeing the world through changing eyes, different from your own: it made us different people. I wouldn't have missed the experience for the world, even if the terrible twos do happen and the teen years can be a trial.

It gave us a sense of purpose within our own lives. The very opposite of a screen or a job or a bucket list! We're very different people from the weird/sad, entering their 60s childless couples we know, every single one. I'll be kind and say they seem mostly ruled by a flat emotional narcissism that's... pretty damn boring. I won't say that that never happens to empty nesters; it does. But the childless couples all seem a bit off.

I wouldn't have a kid with the idea that it would solve any mental health problems I might have, just as having a kid seems to never solve any couple's relationship problems. I just point out that your mental health is going to change with a kid, and I'd not rule out for the better.

Even with those caveats, we've watched a lot of children survive divorce, some ugly. Many of those kids turned out superlatively, and for quite a few the divorce seemed to be a kind of positive stimulus. Not recommending divorce! Same with the death of a parent. Children can be incredibly resilient. It's not always about you, is the lesson. A child has a world that is bigger than the parents.
I agree with the overall idea, that many papers in mathematics and related fields could benefit from their authors spending more time on their writing style.

I disagree with most of their suggested ways of doing this.
* Grandmothering: I didn't understand the point here. I think writing an overview sentence in your abstract can be helpful.
* Table of contents in a paragraph: Whatever it's just one paragraph, if you don't like it don't read it
* Conclusions that don't: I think the having first paragraph of your conclusion as a reintroduction is very helpful. I sometimes read only the conclusion, and I often find the summary paragraph at the beginning of the conclusion to be more direct than other parts of the paper. Clearly the example of changing the tenses of the verbs in the introduction and putting this again as the conclusion is inexcusable, but I'd be surprised if that happened other than in the one place the author came across it
> You are receiving a governance token, not fractionalized ownership. Governance includes the ability to advise on (for illustrative purposes) where the Constitution should be displayed, how it should be exhibited, and the mission and values of ConstitutionDAO.

uh, that’s what they’re doing. They ARE issuing governance tokens.
Never tried it on QEMU so I'm no help there (though if you can get network up VNC is probably workable). On VMware with the legacy tools package installed the mouse seemed pretty consistent in the console though.

Regarding file transfer I think I put an early 5.x version of WinSCP on the virtual disk image and that worked pretty well for FTP/SFTP. Might be other options but mostly I just loaded the IPv6 and Firefox install packages that way and it seemed to go fine for that.
Makework Manatee?
Apple parts are unnecessarily expensive though. And they've already started rolling out new firmware in place to reject parts from third party sources. This will essentially force you to buy parts from them at high prices - I remember when I bought a Mac Mini, Apple RAM and SSD was nearly double the price of its competitors for similar or better specs. (I naturally chose to buy the non-Apple parts. Ofcourse, they've already made sure that your loyalty to them doesn't go astray by soldering the RAM and SSDs now!). And they will continue to make even more hard to repair devices. Nothing will change on their part here - Apple will not give you the ability to customise your hardware or software from non-Apple sources, as that will give you the freedom to leave their ecosystem.
Vague vibes of VLC!
Great tools, both of them!
You can actually just overwrite the neurons. But it requires multiple exposures to new perspectives.

> your reports will lie to you instead of giving you constructive feedback

because if the manager has ego problems he has the power to make your life miserable if you give a honest feedback so the best solution for your direct reports is be diplomatic not not give a honest feedback.
You should be careful about running software on your production domain controller.

Great write up.
Why does stacking them require human intervention? For a completely static scene I would have thought the algorithm is fairly simple and unambiguous.
> I'm actually surprised the ssh protocol doesn't have MITM mitigation built in. Part of the original U2f Spec was that the TLS session State could be hashed and included as part of the client signature, effectively making MITM impossible.

When you use SSH public key authentication, a hash of the key exchange (called the "session identifier") is included in the client signature, much like the U2F channel binding you describe: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4252#section-7

This provides the same amount of protection as the U2F channel binding: namely, the MitM is unable to forward the signature to the server and successfully authenticate to the server as the client.

However, neither SSH nor U2F channel binding prevents the MitM from impersonating the server and hoping the client transmits something confidential. The SSH-MITM tool supports redirecting clients to a honeypot for this purpose.

Additionally, if the SSH client has agent forwarding enabled, the MitM can just ask the client to sign a new signature in order to authenticate to the server. The SSH-MITM tool also supports this.

Bottom line, no amount of channel binding in the authentication protocol is a substitute for correctly validating the server's identity, especially if you have SSH agent forwarding enabled.
It was also a known fact at the time that Margaret, his mother, was "promiscuous".

The son is also much closer in height to Castro (6'3) than to his alleged father Pierre (5'7) and mother (5'6).
This sounds like a different problem, not a different approach: "in seconds" is only good for integration tests, and the topic is about (sub-second) unit tests.
From my limited experience Civil Engineers tend to find the public frustratingly shortsighted - although that was water infastructure which yeah, is underinvested as evidenced by the lead stories, let alone the taste.
$200 thousand for the final report white wash, I guess.
Okay, you obviously missed my point about owning the distribution channel.
To me it helps to think of it like debt, if they get a lot of money (or contributors or whatever) and lose users in the process then that can be re-invested to acquire more users at a later date. The GNOME forks I have seen don't really have a lot of developers, same thing with the KDE/Qt forks.

I don't really have any other comments on "ego guys", every maintainer has their own style. I have seen leadership with a strong vision work for some projects but not work for others.
"Nuances will likely hurt and confuse the common man. "

I think this condescension does more harm than good. The "common man" is plenty smart enough to make decisions for themselves using reasonable judgement. They will make mistakes, but at a similar rate to the experts.

A message of "we're not sure, but this virus seems to be transmitted mostly by air, and we thinks wearing a mask will probably help. We suggest you wear one when reasonably possible" will likely encourage a lot of people to wear masks, while a message of "OMG PANIC AND WEAR MASKS ALWAYS AND YELL AT PEOPLE WHO DON'T" is not likely to.
Thank you - looks really useful!

Interesting about Firefox vs Chrome API differences...

BTW, those are very nice demos too - clear and concise.
For real _unit_ tests? I would argue it's still a good distinction.

We use an embedded postgres in our DB tests, and we call those 'Integration Tests' and run them separately than the pure unit tests. While still tremendously valuable, they do take a bit longer to run, and currently aren't written to allow parallel tests running.

We've had a typical habit of writing most tests that hit the DB. Since applying a bit more discipline to remove the DB requirement, we've found it's a more pleasant experience with the quicker feedback loop in place.

Your last point is a good one - tests that can run in isolation and are agnostic to the presence of other data (and ideally clean up after themselves) tend to be handy.
I remain unconvinced that living outside of a city has a larger than normal share of environmental externalities.
90% of what “ownership” of a non yield-bearing asset gets you is governance over the project. We’ve seen things like UNI and ENS which are governance tokens w/o any yield component, and they keep value. So it’s sort of just a game of semantics. Plenty of people are contributing to this expecting that the governance token will be worth as much as their contribution — you’re just not supposed to be super vocal about that to avoid drawing attention from the SEC.
These companies are faceless because all your interactions with them do not go through humans and are usually devoid of any real, personal human interactions.

It's not a literal take on the word faceless, there are faces, they're just not real. The real ones don't face you.
Yep.

When in doubt, a simple question like “why did you choose this topic?” or “what was the hardest part of this project?” will usually make clear the driving force behind the project. Some younger kids will just blatantly admit that their parents did the project (sometimes/often to the child’s dismay).
I think it means the number of possible settings for 1 square of the tape. 2 colors = each square is either black or white, i.e. it's a binary machine.
All the Apple chargers are compatible, and have been for quite a long time. They’ve had a standard USB-A port since at least 2004, and they now have a standard USB-C port.

The only reason to get a new charger is if you need more power, but that’s exactly the same situation as with Android. Where did you get the idea that you had to get new chargers?
> It worked out during the Great Depression because all of our rival powers were completely destroyed by WWII. We won't be so lucky this time.

Pretty much, yep
I don’t see how they could possibly warrant self repair. There’s a hundred ways you can mess up your device while attempting a repair, and they’re not going to pay for your mistakes.

Unless, of course, a way to remotely verify no damage occurred to the device while repairing it existed, which isn’t the case.

I did my own research and bought and wore masks when the CDC was saying they weren't needed. There was definitely "bullshit" involved there.

Sadly - and cynically - I don't see how our society can return to principle when expediency seems to be so much more effective. What Glenn Greenwald is describing is underhanded and insidious.... but it works. And despite calling it out so clearly the majority of the people consuming the news will not be exposed to what Glenn is saying and will probably never realize the manipulation being delivered to them. Turns out, cheap shots are actually really good in a fight where there is no referee.
To expand:

It was discussed extensively in the Rittenhouse court case today that the prosecution provided the defense with a much lower quality of a particular video file (one that was also possibly cropped) than what the prosecution possessed. The prosecution contends this was an accident and the transcoding occurred when they AirDropped it from one phone to another and then emailed it from their personal Gmail account.

Internet sleuths then spotted Handbrake on the prosecutor's laptop as he was preparing to show one of the videos. Those same sleuths are now speculating that the prosecutors deliberately transcoded/cropped the video that they provided to the defense, as Handbrake could possibly be used for that purpose.
> There's no way to force third-party developers to implement stuff,

...ever heard about "the state"?
This seems overly pessimistic. I work on a React codebase that uses only plain CSS files (no CSS-in-JS), and have never encountered any problems with that.

Sure, there are certainly people who exclusively used CSS in JS, but I would hardly say that they are even a majority of frontend devs.
> Ahh, X-ray crystallography, a.k.a. the field of modern (bio)chemistry that most closely resembles medieval alchemy.

This is amusingly accurate and makes me wonder if our understanding and techniques will ever advance to the point where crystallography no longer feels like medieval alchemy. Surely the process is largely deterministic and we simply can’t control the relevant initial conditions with our current methods.
