Can't forget Utena, the proto-Madoka. It IS as cryptic and opaque as Evangelion, while covering similar ground as (but also completely different ground from) PMMM. It also stands in opposition to Madoka in that it seems almost immune to ongoing commercialization: Rebellion and Magia Record, in its multiple forms, exist, but beyond Adolescence Apocalypse (perhaps in part because of Adolescence Apocalypse), Utena is probably one of the most popular magical girl franchises (very, very few anime have had as much written about it) to never be further capitalized on - and avoids thematic sliding in the process (looking at you, Precure).

So, given the response here, do you think you expressed that particularly well?
I think the relevant legal question is if a reasonable person would be able to conclude that the airbag vest is disabled, and that it won't actually activate in a crash. this seems incredibly hard - you can't rely on printed instructions, since reasonable people don't always read directions, and you could have given it to a friend. so it has to be extremely obvious, like a buckle that locks only if the system is armed - and even then, if someone forces the buckle, it should still be armed, since a reasonable person could conclude that the forcing the buckle shouldn't affect the airbag.

this is even independent of the subscription thing. like if the thing needs a battery and the battery is dead, it needs to be extremely obvious it's not going to work. parachutes have this kind of problem but a reasonable skydiver has parachute training whereas a reasonable biker doesn't have airbag training.

> it’s more expensive to do “the right thing” (because if you’ve properly checked you’re paying the check twice and praying the compiler can remove the redundant check)

Eh that's hardly a solid complaint here. Since these are header-defined templates, it's all inlined. And any compiler will absolutely remove those redundant checks as a result. And an unchecked .value() would still be available if you really did object to that "overhead", so it doesn't violate any C++ principals here.

I do kinda think that operator-> & operator* as a result did the assertion, and value() bypassed it. But this would also be the opposite behavior of other std:: classes, like std::vector (operator[] being unchecked vs. at() being checked).

Gotta be careful though, because while NGE indeed feels way past the expiration date on spoilers, the Rebuild movies definitely aren’t (the final one came out just earlier this year). And people online definitely like to bring up Rebuild movie spoilers in conversations about NGE. Mostly due to how very inter-connected, yet, at the same, disconnected NGE and Rebuild movies are from each other.

TL;DR: agreed on no need to be afraid to spoil NGE, but we gotta be explicit that it applies only to NGE (+the end of evangelion movie, which is the true ending to the show that is absolutely a must-watch; also imo past the expiration date on spoilers), and not to Evangelion as a whole (which would include recent Rebuild movies). But there is no harm in putting a spoiler warning at the beginning, and that’s a nice gesture towards those who might want to watch it for the first time without the storyline being spoiled.
It's so weird to see this on HN.

As a student, this simulator was just another piece of junk collecting dust at the Riverside campus at Texas A&M. The storage building itself was an old WWII hanger, and was mostly used by student groups for constructing design projects, with access to the adjacent (long-retired) runway space for testing.

The amount of legacy/surplus aerospace hardware stored in that hanger was overwhelming. I don't think I fully appreciated it at the time. Most of it is probably cleared out by now. Small world

I’d classify basic search/replace functionality of sed as “basic” - you see such scripts frequently enough in shell scripts. Same for awk and “extract fields 1 and 3”. Anything beyond that quickly escalates into intermediate and advanced usages. Often you can find an SO post for lots of intermediate usages (where you can just include it as a link saying “I’m trying to do X”) but advanced usages that require knowledge of that are best avoided unless you are investing in sed/awk expertise in your team. Usually choosing something like Python, Ruby, Node or even Perl can provide better value because all of those languages can solve the same problem and solve other problems those tools can’t.

Agreed. It would be interesting to see how those European cities do it. I don't recall feeling obstructed by it, the way I do in US cities recently (I don't mind it, but I notice it).

IME, in Europe, the outdoor dining is usually directly adjascent the restaurant (in the US, it's often on the curb side of the sidewalk), though that is really speculation based on limited experience. Perhaps that is actually on restaurant property, and they set back the indoor structure. Or perhaps European sidewalks were built with that capacity in mind.

Also, perhaps the US, usually more restrictive with alchohol, has been less accepting of drinking in public. It doesn't seem like a problem to me, but then I hardly ever see anyone drinking in public. A city block with lots of restaurants and drinkers?

> the pandemic and my society's inability to deal with it

To put the doom and gloom in context, we had a novel virus go from virtually zero to pandemic in the course of a few months. Within weeks we had working treatments. Within a year, effective vaccines. Less than two years from first publication, and over 4 billion people have been inoculated. All within the systems of abstractions you decry.

We're messing up a lot. And we can do much better. But let's not lose the forest for the trees. When we focus on something, we get it done, massively better so than at any prior point in human history.
I think this and many of the similar problems plaguing the earth will only be solved with a drastic reduction of people on the planet. Get the population down to 1 or 2 billion of us and a lot of these issues go away.

Deforesting, not an issue if the demand for lumber is cut down by 80%. Same for coal, oil, paving, lithium... It all gets solved with just less people.

8 billion people is just too much, even if we all recycle and take the bus.

The polio vaccine is a traditional vaccine that provides _immunity_. The mRNA shots are called "vaccines" by the medical establishment, but they only (and they are clear about this) provide _protection_. This is why the very definition of "vaccine" had to be changed: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article25411126.... The new variant has been contracted by people who've received triple shots. That getting the prophylactic shots protects others is simply not true; it's a tagline being repeated on the news to convince people otherwise.

Also, I did receive my shots, and I "believe in science" (whatever that means) by actually reading the studies (such as those listed under the parent comment) showing that children have a greater chance of being stuck by lightning than becoming seriously ill from this virus. Believing in science... that doesn't mean anything.

I hope no one in your county's kids get any heart problems as a result of this decision. After two of my friends' kids had to go to the hospital due to chest pain, with no history of cardiac issues, and with Twitter actively suppressing stories highlighting "myocarditis", my bullshit detector, developed from long years of life under the Iron Curtain, simply went ballistic.

What killed Quora for me was their push towards canonical question/answers, not allowing for any context to a question, ridding it of a lot of the nuance that made many discussions actually interesting. Now there seems to be just more and more rehashing of the same questions that have already been beaten to death waiting to get merged together.

I was somewhat active for a while writing answers, but every time I wanted to ask a question the algorithm "forced" me to generalize it more and more to the point where I'm no longer interested in the answer. And I also felt the same with the questions Quora wanted me to answer.
This quote is eerily similar to net result of one of the Four Pests Campaigns during the Great Leap Forward, where sparrows were targeted for extinction: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Pests_campaign

“Researchers also found that common birds from just 12 families, such as blackbirds, sparrows and finches, account for over 90 percent—or over 2.5 billion birds—of total population decline. Experts believe that habitat loss due to agricultural development and intensification is most likely the driving factor.”

The result was a calamitous famine, and it seems big Ag is on a similar path, but in a wildly different context.

> if a library is just using log4j for some diagnostic messages with no user data, there's no issue, right?

Depends on the diagnostic messages and how you use the library. If exceptions are being logged with any level of detail, and an attacker has the ability to provoke exceptions while varying error message content, then the thing that seems safe was just made quite unsafe.

The way I would look at it - If log4j methods are being invoked on any logical threading context which is serving a potential attacker, then you have something you need to investigate for safety. This is not a complete scope, but it is the most immediate because of the feedback loop being instant for an attacker. Other flavors of this attack could involve nightly log shipping and other batched procedures being poisoned with nasty messages, but these have longer cycles and will take more time to compromise.
> The U.S North American Bird Conservation Initiative estimates that our pet felines kill some 2.6 billion birds annually in the U.S. alone.

The 100M pet cats in US on average kill 26 birds/yr? Doesn't seem right. When I track the source[1] of research, the estimates include both "own" and "unowned" cats and rely on some assumptions like "a correction factor to account for owned cats not returning all prey to owners", amongst others.

This article doesn't mention the most infuriating aspect of HDMI - it's not an open standard! It's a closed, proprietary standard that requires licensing fees and prevents any open source drivers from existing. This is why the Linux AMD open source drivers don't support HDMI 2.1 - so you can't display 120hz@4K on Linux with AMD.
The difference between abstraction and reality is all the little details that get excluded from abstractions. Consider, people cooking at home are creating real value that doesn’t get captured in GDP, which means maximizing GDP may is not maximizing the actual economy.

The difference is not so critical when people are starving, but the difference continues to grow until maximizing GDP starts harming the economy.

That's awfully field specific. It probably wouldn't work for most of STEM. Even for ML I shudder to imagine trying to make sense of the inevitable monstrosities. Writing a paper is part of the thinking process. It forces the author to sit down and work through things in an orderly manner and they're still often difficult to read.

I'm definitely in favor of all papers being accompanied by working source code when relevant though.

It's certainly not easy. I was just saying they've made a bit of progress. Assets still need to be activated on the main thread. You'll never get Awake and Enable off the main thread. But things like deserializing the asset can be done asynchronously now. Assets are loaded to the GPU from the main thread but that can be time slices over many frames.

Of course, I think those improvements are only for asset bundles so if that's a no-go for you then there's not been much progress.
I realize you are not defending these ideas, just stating them. However, they are absurd.... objections In order:

1. Charging rent would cost more administratively than giving the space for free, in 99.9% of cases. Yes, the city should allow the restaurants to "borrow" public space for free. People want this! It's in the public interest!

2. This is false. Public "outdoor" alcohol consumption is generally acceptable and if put on the ballot would win in most places. It's legal where I live, in Austin TX.

3. Sidewalks were built to encourage pedestrian foot traffic in cities. Outdoor dining also increases foot traffic. The two concepts aren't opposed, they are mutually beneficial.

4. ...Okay? Laws shouldn't discriminate between businesses of the same class, this is a good thing.

Sure, there might be reasons a fence was built. But there might not be! We shouldn't become a veto-ocracy.
