> He attacked Rittenhouse

He hit Rittenhouse with his board, sure. Whether it was attack or defence is questionable.

> that tried to blow up a gas station

Can you support this with evidence? I haven’t seen anything that suggests they were trying to blow up the gas station.

> one of the attackers was a convicted child molester

Disgraceful but ultimately irrelevant, unless you think that Rittenhouse knew that and acted on his knowledge.

> attempted beating [… with] the obvious consequence that Rittenhouse would die / be beat up had the attacker succeeded in disarming Rittenhouse.

This is not obvious by a long shot, although it is possible. The police were a few hundred yards down the road, and it is plausible that Rittenhouse would have been held on the ground until police arrived, or marched down to the police, etc.

I have seen the footage and I stand by what I said. If Huber’s intention was to kill or seriously injure Rittenhouse, he would have swung harder and from further away. From 0:14 in your linked video, you can see Huber approaching with his skateboard held at waist height, almost as though he has forgotten he’s carrying it. Others have made a big point about how heavy a skateboard is, but Huber doesn’t leverage any of that weight, by swinging it, he instead sort of jabs with it.
Directly probably not but the higher the working temperature of your electronics is the easier it would be to cool it to a working temperature.
That would also remove range anxiety for me.

However, this will only work if batteries become smaller and more energy-dense - because they are huge and heavy, electric cars today are built around them. This causes two problems:

You can’t easily remove them because they’re big and have to be built into the structure of the car, and are sometimes lod-bearing, and each car model has a different shape of battery.
If your likelihood to get infected is lower then you are less likely to retransmit but it is even more nuanced as this because viral load dynamics are a little different for vaccinated and non-vaccinated.
Move 78 was humanity's last great stand against AI in a board game. Lee Sedol, tired and inspired, reddens AlphaGo's ears with a move plucked from a higher dimension.

It now seems humorous that Kasparov once accused people of helping computers behind the scenes. Now chess masters have been caught huddled in bathroom stalls with their smart phones. Chess commentators choose to willfully ignore chess engines in their presentations, in order to enable our understanding of the analysis. The torch has been passed.
Do people typically get paid more for working on holidays? I can't say I've heard of that but I've also always been salaried, where extra work is not directly compensated.

This just embeds an image from a third-party commercial service https://latex.codecogs.com/. I don’t think this is a good idea. The “Buy Now” link on that site even 404s; I seriously doubt the longevity of that service.

Just use Pandoc with good old KaTeX or MathJax. The CDN builds will last way longer than this commercial service, and you have the option of self-hosting everything.

Edit: I didn't see the author's comment here. Apparently it's meant for environments where you aren't allowed to include your own JavaScript. In that case it's probably a good idea to prerender the images and include them alongside if you can.
It attempts to solve the problem of how to inflate founder and investor bank balances. It does so by trying to bamboozle people into thinking it’s making a contribution to social justice and counter balancing non-existent gender imbalances.
You don’t need a gas pump for every car because gassing up doesn’t take hours.

In many places there isn’t even enough street parking to reliably park your car every night. You often have to park illegally and wake up early to move the car before the ticket comes.

If there isn’t even enough parking how is there going to be enough overnight charging?

That's awesome, although I was kind of excited to see how far we can get with clockwork.
The poster you are responding to is saying the same thing, but also referencing the huge judgement that Microsoft faced for pre-installing Internet Explorer / making it the default browser.

They’re saying that while the situation isn’t completely analogous, that what Apple is doing is far more egregious than what Microsoft already faced massive judgement for doing.
Yeah, in most parts of the world national holidays are holidays because you don't have to work without worrying you won't be paid for that day. If you have a Bezos-like mindset, it may seems stupid and inefficient, but this is short-sighted. Having holidays where - irrespective of other PTO, which is very scarce in the USA - you can reunite with your family or just be alone if you prefer, spend time doing what you love etc, gives you the reason to go back to work. Otherwise, if you just work for the sake of working, what's the point? You just get older and die. Maybe if you're one of the lucky ones and have a job that gives you 100% satisfaction and inspiration all of the time, it might not matter that much, but most people don't have jobs like that, and even if it seems so, it may change with time. You Americans need to stand up and fight for your rights.
Canceling credit cards is terrible idea if you care about credit - which has impact on managing your financials.

If reason for cancel is to avoid using them then I would say cut them, but keep credit. Not all credits are bad… using them unwisely is tho.
Have you written a document or spreadsheet for a company lately? Microsoft is happy that nobody thinks of these things when discussing antitrust, but do you remember when there were choices other than Word and Excel?
It's really sad that the people who post to r/antiwork do not seem to understand that the fact of work is a fact of nature and not a product of society.

They seem to think everyone could just choose to live in leisure and not wind up starving and naked in the cold and dark. It's completely absurd.

Work is not an option. To be against work is to be willing to be a burden on others who will work, and to mistake that laziness as virtue.

And no, they aren't just protesting bad labor practices. I've spent a lot of time reading their views. They really think work itself is the product of capitalism, as though it isn't part of the human condition and a necessary part of every society that has ever existed.
> the base-ten numeral system would require infinite digits

Pi cannot be expressed precisely using any integer-based numeral system (I suppose one could contrive a number-base that incorporated pi, one in which one of the numerals represented pi).
> There are not enough range anxious people to continue to keep ICE manufacturers going.

True in some smaller countries, but in places like the United States it’s very common for people to do a road trip occasionally to visit family or go on vacation.

Stopping for a 30-60 minute charge a couple times per trip isn’t terrible, but it would mean that my annual family visit would become a 2-day drive instead of a 1-day drive. I can deal with that, but many people aren’t ready for it.

I doubt we’ll see gigantic batteries going into small cars for ridiculous range. The efficiency hit would be too large due to the extra weight. I think fast charging and a fast charging network is what we need.

But charging networks are the real issue at this point. They’re out there, but interoperability issues means the various networks often don’t work as fast as they claim or maybe not at all with your car. Range anxiety is bad enough, but when you can’t even be sure the charging station will work when you get there it’s a different level of worry altogether.
I don't know, huge amounts of real-world data are ASCII in my experience, but it is also easy to program and cheap at runtime to scan ahead in your input to check if the high bit is universally clear. Current computers can do this at absurd speeds (~64B/cycle or ~200GB/s).
But maybe you could have different organic crystalline structures allowing AC currents to flow. Wildly speculating of course.. I was just hoping to tape in forest materials to manufacture low power electric devices :)
Are you telling me the car is never parked legally anywhere and is in constant motion?

Charging exclusively at fast DC chargers is feasible and done by many Tesla owners.

Yes, in Canada you are paid double time for Statutory holidays.
Every salaried, or more specifically, except job I have had came with paid time off for holidays and every hourly, or non exempt job has had holiday time and a half or double time for holiday work. In some states, it’s even a legal requirement.
Using Computer Vision to Play Dreidel
The ao486 core is much improved since this article was published in 2019 - it's had caches and a VGA chipset added, which make most early 90's games playable to some extent.
Early in my career, I worked in the USA for a top tier employer in a PhD level position (not a manager then).It was a full-time position, which I believe is exempt from over time. Worked a 12 hour day on thxgiving when something stupid happened (due to lack of management foresight). Wasn't just me but others too. Got a gift card in appreciation for 50 bucks or something. No overtime/extra pay. Time off in lieu was a joke as we were working like crazy and barely able to utilize owed PTO (which you could not cash out). This episode prompted me to put the feelers out to switch jobs, which I then did.

As a manager, I now push back hard on behalf of my team when I see unrealistic deadlines (especially around holiday times). This year, I had to fight a lot more than usual. The issue is success is required on a stupid timeline. Or else. I keep feeling I'm playing russian roulette with my job. But I reflect on my past experiences and think I'll be okay if I get kicked out. So .. cest la vie .. I'll do what I think is right.
Buying new coins before they get listed on Binance or Kucoin
Goofy employees shouldn't be ruled out, either. I added fake menu items that printed from fortune, employee quotes, ASCII art, etc that went unnoticed and unchanged for years.

The items were originally created as printer tests, but it became too useful to prebuild regular catering orders, add delivery directions, and import internal notes like regular or VIP preferences from CRM. This also meant if you created a new customer profile, you could create a menu item tied to it that you could program to send to any printer, which probably four out of a few hundred ever did anything funny with.

As a sidenote, "This will allow us to operate more cross-functionally and enable faster, more informed decision-making," is just completely devoid of substance.

> Microsoft got replaced by FAANGs,

Uh, what? Microsoft is currently the 2nd largest company in the world, sometimes it’s the largest. Do you have any idea how many people use say, Office 365 in a given week?

Netflix is 1/10th of the size by market cap, I don’t understand why it’s even a part of the acronym.

Personally, I hold individual shares of MSFT and AAPL and no other big tech company exposure outside of index funds.
I like the Swift Playgrounds materials a lot. It's a great grounding in Intro to CS. BUT it quickly gets boring for 9 y/o's. Even gamedev, Roblox, etc. They are digital natives so the novelty isn't a fascination to them, the way it was to us: "you mean I can actually program Goldeneye myself at home???"

The trick is to get them to see code as an enhancement to life. It's fascinating to see the renaissance in table top RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons amongst the youth today. One time we couldn't find the dice set. So I wrote a simple Python N-sided die. And they were fascinated by BigInt: "you mean I can roll dice with as many sides as I want???"

I don't see anything particularly broken with the keyboard. Much as the design of a knife is a convergent, functional end-design of a utility, I'd say that keyboards are the same.

As with knives you could make variants for specific purposes (fruit knife, chopping knife, serrated knives) but that doesn't mean that we have to 'redesign' knives altogether, or in the same way, keyboards.

Japan is a Karōshi country, it's in a completely different league. Several of my Japanese friends openly say they are not happy. The pressure of the society is enormous and it's practically impossible to resist. The traditional roles are still very strong and do cause problems for daughters (and probably to their fathers, although they are not allowed to admit that). Many things are twisted in an unhealthy way.
I agree, that’s ideal when that option is available. Typically that project will be strictly within the confines of a grant and heavily influenced by your advisor, unless you’re lucky (or unlucky) and they’re extremely hands off.
It's not a contest, and I didn't pick conditions for it. This is called a reality.

This all started with a discussion of a long trip. The reality is that, at best, EVs require you to do very careful planning with potentially lengthy breaks regardless of "excellent coverage" and exuberant youtube ads of "best charging stations".
> and then use Atomics.wait on the main thread to block

The main thread is not allowed to use Atomics.wait. I’m not certain what the implementation status of this is because I’ve never used it and I have a vague feeling I heard that one browser shipped it without that restriction, but at the very least you may get a TypeError in some user agents and you can expect to in all user agents at some point in the future when they become sterner about not blocking the main thread.

As for stopping synchronous operations, I’m dubious that would actually work; without actually testing it (and I don’t have time to test it now, though I’d be interested in the result, including across various platforms), I think it’s more likely that the regexp match would be uninterruptable, and that it would just go on munching your CPU until it finished, and then terminate once it returned from the native code to the JavaScript.

I wonder what legal ramifications would be if you run them over while they’re on a pedestrian crossing. They probably wouldn’t count as human at least? Destruction of property?
> Do people typically get paid more for working on holidays?

Yes, of course.

But It depends on the type of job contract. A physician that must remain in the hospital in Christmas Eve to deal with a ton of drunken people is paid more. A tow truck driver is expected to be available at any time or day and can be paid the same. Their work has a different concept of what is extra time, and a researcher passing the night in the university just wouldn't be paid for that.
If you’re hourly Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter are typically paid the same as overtime. Pretty sure there is (or at least used to be) something legal attached to it as we used to get time and a half when I waited tables. This was not used as incentive as the minimum for waiters was like half the federal minimum wage due to tips being the primary revenue source.
It's for that reason I buy music from sites that give you a ZIP download of DRM free lossless files. Used to do it with eMusic in the '00s, now do it via Bandcamp.

For non indie artists I'll buy physical vinyl if it's a good enough record. Otherwise just rip the occasional song via NewPipe.

Same goes for books. DRM free Epub or physical copy.

I will say that I don't have this policy for videogames, but frankly it's only because I got tired of paying through the nose for a gaming PC. It's cheaper to just stream them via Stadia, esoecially since I don't go back to them like I would with music or books.
Time-and-a-half or double wages are common holiday pay in the US. They’re not required everywhere, though.
The best thing about this project is the seemless CRT TV support. There is no simple way to use a PC emulator and support CRT output.

Good point on the text, thank you - I've changed it. If you've got time could you send / post a screenshot of the images not fitting? My contact details are on my main site in my HN profile.

The images are huge, I'll admit. Normally when I post on that site it's ride reports that are only read by my mother so it's heavily photo based. When writing this review I did think I should make a component for smaller images but, honestly, I wasn't expecting this many people to read it.

As for it being hard to design... yeah. This is just a free Jekyll template that I got and then pushed to GitHub Pages. At work I have the benefit of the UX department telling me what to change, lol

This is why we need to protect free speech.

IMO the far left challenging free speech is a bit of a trojan horse. Yes, you can use censorship to suppress distasteful ideas, but it's also obvious that if you give corporations the power to censor whatever they want, they will also use it to censor anything you say to criticize them. Look at what the Chinese government is doing, they can basically erase anything that makes China look bad from the internet in less than 30 minutes. Is that what we want here too?

Free speech is not a "far right" idea. It's the basis of democracy.

> Is 'separation' a euphemism for 'preventing invasion'? Because threat of that is #1 thing keeping cross-strait relations tense. Mainland China could easily offer Taiwan a better deal than they get by being closely aligned with the US. Their reluctance to do so keeps US influence in the region, and after a while one can't help if it's deliberate.

I don't quite follow. Are you saying China purposely gives Taiwan a raw deal just to deliberately spite the US? Why would they do that? I think I'm misunderstanding you.

> Also Israel gets a much better deal than Taiwan. The US gives military aid to Israel, where as Taiwan has to petition the US government - their only significant supplier - for the right to even buy weapons. Better hardware too, despite Israels poor track record in passing US military tech to China.

Yeah, for sure. But our support of both countries (and others like them) pisses other countries off. IMO we have no business being either world police or world arms market, especially in some of the most volatile quagmires in the world. We make our own enemies because of our supposed friends. These places only have strategic value to us so long as we desire to remain the global hegemon, with tentacles everywhere. Let go of that weird military-industrial-hentai complex, and there's no reason for us to artificially prop up these countries. Especially Israel. The IDF can more than take care of themselves. Taiwan is going to fall sooner or later anyway, but why is that our business? We force our enemies to go on eternal arms races against us because we've shown them we're incapable of minding our own business after WW2. It should not be our responsibility to provide world security using our people, our equipment, our money.
