Also, something stunning when you read the replies and reflexions of the one in charge is how egoistic all of this is.

They are thinking like this: people that donated should not see the nag screen anymore for some times..., and otherwise it is that there is a bug. But it is completely normal for all the non 'financial' donators.

But, in my opinion, it is hugely egoistic, if I pay (do a donation) just for me being adfree,' it is like subscribing to a news paper.

On my side, if ever I donate to them, it is to support the goal that other people will not have to be annoyed by the ad!
You might want to refresh yourself on who you're talking to here on this one. I'm sure that there are certainly people more familiar with the JIT behavior of HotSpot and Graal out there, but I don't know that any of them post here on the topic.

I'm not saying that when it comes to the JVM's optimization behaviors that I'd jump without checking that there's water on Chris's assurance, but I'm not saying I wouldn't either.
Huh? Hand sanitizer is recommended to be at least 60% alcohol, that easily burns.
`"hello" + myFooObject.toString()` Can you eliminate that? It's impossible to say without knowing whether or not `myFooObject.toString()` is effectful. Maybe the JVM can make that assessment. Maybe not. I don't know, but it's not as trivial as "knowing what string concatenation does".
What do you think would happen?
Are you sure about that? Most hand sanitizer I've seen is more than 50% alcohol. Here's a MSDS I found for a common brand: http://sds.staples.com/msds/320863.pdf (they claim > 50%, <= 70%).

I've definitely seen people burning hand sanitizer as well. Here's a random YouTube video (there are thousands): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KZ3JviMNFc
With very few exceptions, I find contemporary self-improvement books the perfect example of the “this book could have been a blog post could have been a tweet could have been left unsaid” chain.

A core of truth, but terribly written. Zero imagination, neither wisdom nor joy. What they lack in depth they make up for with contrived examples.

While authors like Hesse, Kafka, Tolkien, Goethe, Dickens, Fry, and Wilde have given me so much more.

Sometimes it’s a sentence. Sometimes the mood of a chapter. Maybe a casual observation made by a side character or a short poem that carries the weight of many a novel.

Never directly relating to my work, but deep insights in to humanity transcend everything.

And if there’s nothing you find applicable, at least you’re left with beautiful language that is worth indulging in for its own sake.

(A euro-centric list, antiquated maybe. But timeless. Naturally, every period and culture has gifted us with comparable works.)
Almost none of the reasons have anything to do with releasing the source. You can release the source but still maintain central control. They shouldn’t even have posted this. Obviously they want to make money from their products, and that’s fine.
I remember from a visit in Kenya that the way they control monkeys was to keep shooting the alpha until eventually their next leader forces the group to retreat and leave the human settlements alone.
Yeah, that's how I read it. If you're on 2.16 then you have to put a crazy substitution in your config, which no one is going to do.

So if this is true:

> In 2.16.0: if the suspect string is put in the PatternLayout, then that specific patternLayout will crash when loaded and replace itself with a PatternLayout that just logs what is handed to it with no formatting

> logging the suspect string seems to have no affect, and it is passed untransformed to both System.Out or the file I specified as expected.

Then not a big deal. I'm sure there's a number of ways I could mess up the config file and end up with no formatting. Should I be submitting CVE's for those too?
The GPL only applies when you're redistributing a program or its code. A plugin that is downloaded later, and not necessary for the basic function of the program itself, while at that point could technically constitute a combined work, typically just sits on your computer forever at that point. Only if you were to then re-redistribute both that program AND the downloaded plugin, then there is a possibility of a GPL violation if the license of the plugin is incompatible.

>The "Bose is evil" camp are probably the same ones who would damn anyone straight to hell for ever giving money to them

I think the money I paid for my Bose SoundLink Mini II is very much well-spent, and I don't know of any other speaker of the same size which can beat it in quality of sound and battery life.

At the same time, some commenters here believe that wanting to hold Bose accountable means I have a bone to pick with them.

I feel like the problem here is that people think that the brands they use represent their personality. I love the product from Bose that I own, and that's why I want to see them held accountable for the self-combusting one.

That's to ensure I can enjoy using their products going forward, and recommend them without being worried about whether their newest gadget may set my friend's house on fire.

It is not, because OP does not have the obligations that the email claimed they have.

In France we mean by that that all newspaper have a public well accepted stance on the political spectrum, with candidates they push without hiding and ideologies they maintain.

As long as their leaders and famous journalists are clear they're a perspective and not "the truth", I m fine with the communists fighting the nationalists in their respective newspapers even if I disagree with what I read. At least I know what and why they think these things and I can sometimes accept an argument if only to build an iterative counter argument myself.

The difference I saw with facebook even in France, is that it's all blurred. I cant cross the Figaro with the Monde to figure two of the sides of an issue, now I receive some neutral looking information with a vague source. It struck me when a colleague started repeating an horrendous story and we investigated together to realize she was sourcing it from a facebook post by our "the onion" equivalent !!! She couldnt see the source because it's too blurry in between her grandma rants and some cnn-style generic information.

It doesnt change that in the US I see with worry that even when lines are clear, the debate is heated. Also because there's no spectrum but just two solutions to any issue: democrat and republican. What was hailed as a miracle in democracy (just 2 fuzzy groups of dispationate interest) is starting to look like a weakness (to the death identity conflicts pushed by their respective extremes) while with 13 parties in elections in France, you can express nuances.
I'm not from the UK, but CGP grey is AFAIK. He has a short video called "Why the UK Election Results are the Worst in History" (2015). IMO, it seems like First Past the Post voting is the problem still.

Most of their points are valid for community driven open source projects but the existence of large corporate ones like Chrome, Android, .net, VS Code, Tensorflow and lots more prove that exerting tight central control while being fully open source is very much possible.
I was never a reader. I’ve played video games since I was a child, for over twenty years, and social media for almost as long.

I wonder how much harder it will be to develop mental patience and critical reasoning as someone who has never known what it’s like to slow down and enjoy the thought process of reading a book.

I have never not felt like my mind’s going 100mph
And neither would you see headlines about a human child learning to read, yet if a monkey were to do the same it'd be up here in no time. The noteworthy thing here is not the activity performed, but what entity the activity was performed by.
Even if the writer sincerely believes that, literally all they have to do to find their answer is ask themselves that same question. I am pretty sure no independently wealthy person would be wasting their time writing this drivel
Trying to wipe out the other side is "a functioning justice system"? It was in 1942 after Reinhard Heydrich's killing.

>Villagers reported that now there are barely any dogs left in the area but that the monkeys have not stopped even after a month of attacks. Now, villagers reported that the monkeys are targeting small children which has created a panic within the village.

That's when you start shooting these monkeys on sight. Cull their numbers a bit. I've been bitten by a monkey as a child and it sucked. I hope the village starts splitting their wigs. Do they have guns?
That's a silly way to think about it, strength just gives you more tools that you can work with if you're intelligent. If you aren't strong enough to rip eyeballs from sockets, how does being intelligent enough to know you can do that help you?

Cable TV was a screaming deal, so long as you could always stay on the promotional rate. I haven't had it in a while, but I used to call and "cancel" my service every 3 months to get 3 months of free premium channels and a reduced basic rate. It was pretty funny when I moved and had to actually cancel my service because obviously it was on my file and the support person was like sure no problem here you go and I had to clarify no I actually needed to cancel because I was leaving their service area.
Same here. I usually start here if I am considering an interesting sounding product, but am not sure if a better option is already known to exist. 90% of the time if I google "[product type] wirecutter" I get a "Top x of [insert year here]" for that exact type of product. Great starting point to do more research. The reviews also sometime mention factors to consider that I hadn't thought of before if the product category is relatively new to me. So even if I don't end up getting one of their top picks it helps to know what properties to watch out for.
MongoDB Serverless: A Cautionary Tale
In many languages you have literally 3/4 of the word carry the meaning of the actual word and the remaining 1/4 sounds or letters devoted to grammatical markers for the gender/case/number/etc.

Using a classic Latin example from Monty Python, Romani ite domum / Romanes eunt domus;

the "Roman" part of of Romanes/Romani actually carries very much meaning and the -es/-i has information that's largely orthogonal to that.

Ask HN: Tech subreddits with high information density?
Which technology or professional subreddits are you subscribed to?

Lately I have noticed that subreddits that should have high information density are spammed with introductory tutorials and, even worse, unfunny memes.
No one wouldn’t, because can one be electro conductive in both?
I feel so strongly that I have a soul that starts with self-aware consciousness and I get such push back on this idea from high tech people, that I'm starting to wonder if perhaps most don't possess a soul and are effectively biorobots. This is also the theme of Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions" in which the author (Vonnegut inserts himself into the novel) is going to kill himself (like his mother) because he feels everyone is a robot except him. He is saved when he meets an artist and senses the soul in the man.

I spend way too much time on the internet, listening to a deluge of podcasts and videos at high speed, reading gobs of articles, but I still manage to read 30 books a year.

However this overconsumption of information indisputably harms my ability to create in general; I write less content, less code, less drawings, less music than I used to.
The chain of reasoning: people are trying to protect themselves from the purported 5G irradiation -> they start wearing pendants that emit the ionising radiation -> when worn 24x7, the amount of the radiation absorbed from the pendant is sufficient to induce harm to the human cellular DNA -> sarcastic conclusion.

That's fairly normal. I'd rather patch everything 5 times in a row to get rid of one RCE at a time, rather than running with a 10/10 vulnerability for 5 days so the application can make sure to root out all possible problems.

Ask HN: Can web scraping be the basis of a viable business model?
I'm a data engineer at heart, and I never did or enjoyed front-end work. Having said that I always was happy to code and evolve crawlers and web scrapers. Now I've taken some time off from work and gigs and I'm working on a side-project I've been hacking for some time.

Without getting into the details yet: it aims to make web data collection a little bit easier for non-devs. I'll soon have an MVP and will start pitching to investors: aiming for an open-source business model (after a few months of stealth development) and eventually a typical SaaS offering for extra functionality.

At this point I'm trying to consolidate and counter the steel-man counter-arguments I should expect from investors. The most obvious one: as one can imagine, the product it's not magic and, after a certain point it does require some manual work from the customer, hence this is an aspect I should prepare for.

I have done some preliminary analysis of the space of potential competitors (think import.io, Apify, Zyte/ScarpingHub, etc.) and described opportunities for differentiation. What I'm afraid of is getting sidetracked in a discussion of "um, this is web scraping and it's hard to make a business on top of it".

I understand that there's not much context now and one could easily say "well yeah, anything could be possible with a good team, product...", but I'm reaching out to the HN community to gather some considerations, mental models and pointers, I may not think of myself at this point.
Wonder how many times this has been done with humans throughout history
Ah, the person I was replying to had conflated the two? I retract my feeling of relief, as is the course for this week.
Most animals are capable of revenge. Story: A family in Palestine were doing a routine cleaning of the house. They had a snake nest in the house and it was no pet snake. So to clean better they put the nest and eggs in a different corner.

The snake came back looking for the nest and could not find it. It looked around with no luck. It went to the family water vase (because there was no piped water supply) and spit inside. The mother saw this and told the other to put the nest back.

The snake saw the nest, went immediately back to the vase, coiled it and flipped the water over over to empty it.

It had spit poison in the supply to hurt the family for revenge of its nest. And then sought to undo that act.

How is it alarming that a battery powered device failed in 2021? Widespread issues would be alarming. This is an anomaly.

I feel bad for OP, but this is just a "luck-of-the-draw" thing. Trying to make it into anything else is disingenuous at best. I don't think these "negative" comments are as negative as you are reading them, I think they're being realistic.

I grew up and studied in a University town in Central India, not far from Majalgaon FTA. I've personally witnessed the rivalry of the monkeys and the pariah dogs. In one particular instance a youngish dog was chasing the monkeys and wouldn't let them get on the ground. The leader of the monkey gang made a sudden move, swooped down and carried the dog pup on the tree and just dropped it from there. The pup survived and the dogs never tried to attack the monkeys after that instance. It was such a surreal scene that me an my friends couldn't believe what we witnessed. Monkeys, esp Langoor monkeys are a fearsome force in India and not to be messed with.

I'm so frustrated by the state of things as I only subscribed to YoutubeTV because I wanted to watch Mets baseball and media blackouts prevent me from streaming despite my MLB.tv subscription.

The price has only risen over the years and it's been a pretty bitter pill to swallow.

I already pay for Disney+ but am also paying for their content through YoutubeTV, which I rarely consume (never watch the disney channel; sometimes I have to watch baseball on ESPN because of media rights).

ABC, which is really only used to record the Bachelor/ette programs in this house, is free with an antenna (but lacking the DVR). Not to mention you can watch it a day later using the Hulu subscription we also pay for.

I love the DVR feature of YoutubeTV, but I really only record content that's free over the airwaves. Including This Old House, which is now owned by Roku and has it's own for pay streaming service.

I'm paying eight ways to Sunday for this content, and increasingly of the opinion that it's not worth it.

EDIT: Anyone know of a DVR + digital antenna solution I could implement?

EDIT2: Just pulled the digital antenna out of the drawer and, as expected, the features of the surrounding landscape block all the channels.
> Strength is mostly immaterial once I (as a hypothetical monkey) understand that I can use my agility to rip your eyeballs from their sockets, which then effectively removes your ability to pose a threat to me.

We have different words for different types of killing. We say “slaughter” when we’re talking about killing a farm animal for food, and “cull” when talking about killing animals for the purpose of population management. Likewise we have “murder” for intentionally killing a person vs “manslaughter” for an accidental/less-culpable killing, and “euthanise” to describe killing something that is already dying so as to end its suffering.

What the article describes is accurately described as culling, or killing for population control.

Or a politician is simply reacting with the changing viewpoints of their constituents in regards to a failed policy. You know, how well-adjusted members of society behave when faced with changing circumstances.

I simply cannot tolerate this “us vs them” mentality in American politics.
regardless of questions of growth or ultimate purpose we need to be able to do this if we want to persist for any significant length of time in any habitat, planetary or otherwise

I think that this passage and various other parts of the book are a particularly English form of understated humour, where Babbage is playing up his public perception as a frustrated genius in order to add a little levity to what might otherwise be fairly dry writing.

Plenty of other sections of the book hint at this. As an example, search for the word "philosopher" throughout the book. We get section headings musing about whether a Philosopher would deny being descended from Cain, quotes attributed to a recently-scalloped oyster who was also a philosopher writing in its shell, a sequence of passages titled "The Philosopher writes a Ballet —Its rehearsal —Its high moral tone —Its rejection on the ground of the probable combustion of the Opera-house", and so on and so on. Does Babbage consider himself a philosopher? Maybe (probably, even -- he clearly had a good opinion of himself in any case), but he is also well aware of how the public perceives such people.

In other words, Babbage is doing a "bit" and playing with the public perception of him and of scientists of the time (and even now) -- i.e. as being so removed from the real world that they not only can't explain something, but can't even understand why they can't explain it. Which is an understandable thing to do, particularly if you're a mathematician and engineer writing an autobiography for a lay audience.

This doesn't mean that he was actually good at explaining anything, of course, or that he wasn't in fact a frustrated genius. It just means that he was aware of how he was perceived and was capable of a little humour at his own expense.

Unfortunately this sounds like a case where the officer was probably not really aware they were dealing with a flammable liquid. Tasers can absolutely be fatal (and are referred to correctly as "less lethal" for that reason, but I doubt many officers realistically consider the chance of setting someone on fire.
