This isn't just a case of laziness.
Most lead free I've come across is Barnes straight copper stuff. It's not heavy enough, and drastically changes the way it shoots and also how it acts on impact.

There's not a lot that can be done to fix this today, because cartridges were designed with lead projectiles, and guns designed around the cartridges. To get a heavier bullet, it would need to be a substantially bigger(longer) bullet, therefore not working in any gun.

A reasonable proposition is for a new cartridge to be designed around an all copper(or steel, whatever) bullet. It would take a lot of time to get adoption, though, unless the military uses it.
I'm ambivalent about Tailwind, but I've used it a lot. I will say the hypothetical advantages are mostly the following:

1. It's a step function over CSS units. This is the biggest strength, just standardizing that your design uses padding of 2, 4, 8px, but not 1px, 3px, or 1.23123em :). It provides more steps than you need, but still it's good that the core of Tailwind is a design system with defined unit and color variables.

2. Some of the utility classes are very helpful. Even as someone who likes writing CSS, it's nice to not need to give something a custom classname just because I want to put margin-top on it. class="mt-4", done.

I think the problem is Tailwind goes too far and tries to replace EVERYTHING with a stack of utility classes.

This works okay in extremely componentized web apps. It's a nightmare if your UI isn't highly componentized. I've seen projects where you make a button by copy pasting this ~80 character string of tailwind classes all over the place, and then changing the color names if you need to. Good luck fixing that when the designer decides that we don't want any buttons to have rounded corners anymore.

Personally I think the best parts of Tailwind are captured in Pollen[1], but I do wish it came with a subset of utility classes for colors, font sizes, margin, padding, and text alignment. I think the hard part is defining which subset is the right subset... I doubt you could find strong agreement from a large majority of developers on that.

It’s because republicans want the police to uphold their values (subjugate minorities, maintain their power etc.) which the crooked cops currently do. If the cops as a general monolith actually upheld the law and treated everyone equally, republicans would turn on them in an instant.

No, it’s easy to assume (even after reading the documentation) that -ffast-math just makes some calculations less precise or otherwise not strictly IEEE 754 compliant. That would be plenty reason enough not to enable it by default, but make it available for those who desire maximum performance at the expense of precision (or accuracy), as may be a perfectly reasonable tradeoff in cases like computer graphics. It’s very understandable that people are surprised by the fact that -ffast-math can actually break code in unintuitive ways.

Ask HN: Where is the AWS outage post-mortem?
I've been checking in on this page [0] frequently since the recent us-east-1 outage.

The outage was significant and had many unexpected knock-on effects for us - despite most of our instances being in a totally separate region - so just wondering what happened.

Any idea how long these post-mortems typically take to be published?

Thanks.

Solar PV performs better under imperfect illumination conditions. Concentrating solar thermal power can't make use of diffuse light on partly cloudy days, whereas solar PV can. Solar thermal also has to reach a minimum operating temperature before it starts generating steam/electricity. PV actually works better on bright, cold days and will generate full power the instant an array reaches full illumination. These factors, plus the greater mechanical complexity and maintenance requirements for thermal solar, make it very hard for new thermal solar plants to deliver a lower levelized cost of energy than new PV plants.

Pre-IPv6 all IP code had 32 bits reserved for addresses. For more addresses, you would need >32 bits.

How do you squeeze >32 bits of data into 32 bit data structures?

You would need to touch every bit of IP code out there to expand the corresponding address filed (e.g., in a struct in_addr)—which is what had to be done for IPv6.

The issue is that, there is no process to do that within the Rust-lang organisation. The core team is only accountable to themselves at this point.
Yeah, obviously. It would be stupid to not support Windows in order for rust to be a healthy language. But I wouldn't care at all, and the vast majority of code - not just the code written, but in terms of it being deployed to N systems - will be Linux.

That app is done wrong. If you are using the same styles to represent a button you should use postcss and do

The employees' shares are tax based on the IPO price, not the price at which shares beginning trading.

So with a large bump (like 100% on Snowflake for example), you defer a lot of tax to the future. And if you hold out 1 year until selling, you change a lot of that gain from income into long term capital gains (which has a lower tax rate)
You only use one round to harvest an animal, but that round can be preceded by tens or hundreds of rounds at the range, much of which should be with the same load and bullet.

It's not just cost - steel and copper bullets expand less, so animals harvested with them can be wounded for longer periods before dying, which many hunters see as unethical.
There is no process to get rid of them.
Hashtags aren’t only for social media…they’re a commonly used tagging mechanism for lots of text-based interfaces. You don’t have to use them though.
I'm only saying it's a tradeoff. Obviously given Rust's origins and goals dropping desktop as a target would make no sense - it was designed explicitly for those platforms.

But if a language said "we're not going to support those" I wouldn't care at all, and a massive number of use cases - the majority, I think - would be solved with that language.

In terms of what you develop on, that's a whole other story. The majority, of course, are on Linux. But I'd be interested to know what platform they target.
This seems to just be random data from VAERS. So the "deaths" column includes things like people who got hit by a bus 6 months after being vaccinated. I think OP is looking for a comparison of side effects caused by the vaccine (for example, comparing death rates b/w vaccinated and the general population, without falling into the common traps you see on websites like this one that is hawking "miracle cures for cancer")
The round trip efficiency would be a problem for diurnal storage.

For long duration storage, capital cost is much more important than round trip efficiency.
> keep in mind that side effects tend to be under-reported.

If you're looking at VAERS then this statement is objectively wrong.

VAERS records every medical event that happens within 6 weeks of any vaccination and does not establish causation.

> I wonder when (or if) we will see new IPv6 only ISPs.

* https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/deploy360/2014/cas...

Any access to IPv4 is through a proxy.
For home users and non-professionals, IPv6 is simpler than IPv4. Every device autoconfigs selecting its own address via SLAAC. No DHCP needed. No need to understand NAT and no dealing with subnets.

Especially when mDNS is in the mix and every device gets its own .local domain, which already happens with iOS, macOS and Windows devices (plus Linux with avahi), it is dead simple to have a very reliable local network.

I agree the undersea landscape can change dynamically but there is no way to do undersea data transmissions of the size required to do live updates. I guess what I meant is a sub should be able to have a more modern solution onboard because it wouldn’t take up much space on board which is a massive consideration for things like this.

Even if the data set is huge, you should be able to fit the system and a redundant system in a full rack. When I was on a surface ship, our entire nav system fit on a single server with an additional server as a backup. Our system could be updated live because we had internet on board. Subs don’t have this luxury so they would need the full dataset on board.
Thank you open access! But did I find a typo?

"Nevertheless, we make no claims about the model’s predictive accuracy. The model is highly abstract and remains to be empirically calibrated and tested. Nor can we assume that tipping points would obtain in radically different applications, such as affective polarization, voter polarization, or media polarization."
Being myself? No thanks.

I am weird, and most people don't tolerate weirdness. I can be weird in my free time, with my friends. At job, I am there to make money to pay my bills, and I am not going to jeopardize that needlessly. I will try to mostly be quiet, and let you project your own beliefs on me. That is what most people prefer.

Politics is just another case of this. Many people got caught by surprise, because being normal is now also officially considered weird and unacceptable.

> These expectations go far beyond skills or shared ethics into fuzzier areas such as cultural values. In some cases a companies attempt to architect their own sub-culture and expect staff to follow.

I suppose they would prefer running a cult to running a company, because cult members are cheaper and more obedient. Pretend to play along, don't believe any of it. They most likely don't believe it either.

From the original research:

“ In closing, our study should be viewed as a small, but important, first step. The sources of political and ideological polarization have been widely investigated, but relatively little attention has been directed to the possibility that the causal mechanisms are characterized by irreversible tipping points. The lack of attention does not reflect the low importance of the problem. The historical lesson from climate research may be instructive. As with incremental global warming (28), the dynamics of reversibility cannot be revealed with observational data tracking changes over time in the level of polarization. Instead, climatologists have relied on increasingly sophisticated and empirically calibrated computational models to show how the self-reinforcing dynamics of global warming can be reversed through the reduction of carbon and methane emissions only up to a critical threshold, beyond which civilization as we know it may be doomed. We extend the concern with an environmental tipping point to the study of polarization. The need for empirical calibration in our model calls for increased investment in the study of irreversible phase change, while our findings call for urgency in mobilizing remediation efforts before it is too late.”

Your son has good taste in keyboards.

At risk of sounding overly subjective, I've got an external Thinkpad USB keyboard with Trackpoint - the 2012 SK-8855 model - which is basically the X220 keyboard.

It is hands down the best keyboard experience I've ever had (and I've owned plenty, including mechanical boards, most recently the Logitech G915 TKL).

Sadly my backspace key is misfiring and it's beginning to show its age. Which really saddens me. I wish I bought several of these when they were still available. Now even second hand models are difficult to come by.
The Democrats run the cities where this is happening. What are they going to do about it? Quoting the article:

'I recently finished reading “San Fransicko,” by Michael Shellenberger. I recommend it. The subtitle is provocative: “Why Progressives Ruin Cities.” But, as Shellenberger explains, he does not mean to imply that progressives always ruin the cities they govern. He’s just interested in the specific phenomenon of when progressives do ruin cities, and explaining why that happens.

And progressives—I count myself as one of them—do ruin cities. Or, at least, they put in place policies that cause profound harm to the people living in them.'
How could it possible be irreversible? Is there any partisan polarization that's lasted a thousand years? How about even just a couple hundred?

Even slavery was abolished in the US and that seemed like an irreversible polarization.

You'll find that if you look behind Hamas approved sources (not Israeli propaganda, but local sources in Gaza) you might get a mlre nuanced view.

> and so a huge portion of the population of Gaza is chronically malnourished.

The problem in Gaza does not seem to be the supply of food but the distribution. Hamas is notoriously corrupt and evil as written about in length by their own. To them I guess it is even beneficial if their people us malnourished when journalists and UN officials arrive.

Besides: Hamas needs only to start behave civilized, start imprisoning the violent ones instead of sending grants to martyrs and you will probably find Israelis a lot more cooperative vs now when they openly say they want to destroy Israel.

I mean yes, people who don't know what an IP is use whatever their ISP gives them, and ISPs have mostly rolled out v6 by now (albeit imperfectly). Businesses actually manage their networks actively, and they use what they know, which is almost always v4.

It's nice, right? The team also uses that now and we can catch a lot of things this way. Like, a lot.

The product we make is heavy on integration and orchestration of a bunch of tools, technologies, systems, and librarires. It takes complexity away from people involved in machine learning, so we implicitly inherit that complexity and, therefore, there are a lot of things we must track. This is effective.
But if you choose the standard deduction, the logic is usually quite simple, and you don't need massively complex software to help you.

This is true. Since the turbotax web form seems to help many taxpayers (the other possibility is that it's all SEO?), it might be nice if IRS ran an analogous web form in addition to what they do now.
