The Buffalo shoving incident was almost identical to an incident in my state, and had an almost identical outcome because of the same problem: DAs who want to take the easy route.
t.rotate(a, v);
...
t rotateBy: a around: v

I will consider only first and last as the rest is just fluffing around.

Objectively speaking (yeah right) there is no difference and both serve the same purpose. For whatever reason the first form is more visually and mentally pleasing to me.

If it was written by me it would be:

t.rotate(angle, around);

would also have something more meaningful instead of t unless the scope is very small.

Even if you’re worried about this, there are source-available licenses like SSPL or Elastic License v2 explicitly designed to prevent this, and which have seemingly been successful at doing so. The exact choice of license would depend on the kind of thing you’re worried about.

I don’t disagree with this. I even like the way you put journalism in quotation marks. I (and apparently their legal representatives in many cases) consider those news stations you mentioned to be more entertainment than journalism. Put another way, the point of my original comment was that good journalists make mistakes too, but that shouldn’t mean anyone can be a journalist or there is no expertise required to do so. It should mean the opposite. What I’m beginning to take away from this and some of my other replies is that it’s become practically impossible to tell the good, bad, and poser journalists apart. I just don’t want that to mean that we devalue journalism as a whole.
I’ve been writing on Java since v1.0, and had the mentioned classloader issue probably once - in mid-2000s with something on JavaEE.

This class of problems was back then called DLL hell, and guess where the „DLL“ comes from? Hint: not Java.
In any case, it is quite rare by now and calling ecosystem „toxic“ because of that?..
Pretty sure you haven’t seen the others long enough.
They’re referencing how California republicans were lightning fast to legislate away gun rights as soon as the Black Panthers started organizing and flexing their second amendment rights.
That wouldn’t be funding log4j2 though (from the ‘better authors’ part). That would most likely be an internal effort (devs you trust) published as a new open source logging framework in a sea of existing ones.
Every cult is also gnostic, e.g. they attract people who want to learn their secrets so they can be a part of the insiders.

Christianity was unique when the founder said that it was for the gentiles (everyone) and that meant it should spread everywhere (that’s actually where the word ’catholic’ or ‘universal’ comes from).
What action can actually be taken towards that goal? Your own country can avoid creating these robots. But you can't know that any other country isn't pursuing them. Even if you could, the political capacity to sanction them for it is quite limited. So the most likely outcome of trying to ban them is that every country assumes every other country is still building them in secret, and thus every country still builds them in secret. Eventually, the fact that they are building them in secret becomes public, and ultimately nothing is done about it. Having a world with killer robots in it is bad, but a world where your enemies have killer robots and you don't is far worse. The decision makers will all be very cognizant of that fact.
Even more fundamental is the fact that defending your innocence is expensive. A system that lightens your pockets when a bad actor invokes your name and will never compensate you for your loss afterwards is a bad system.
You're sort of conflating what scientists are pretty sure about in a general sense and what they actually know about how it works in the specifics.

Just as an example:

> The formation of planetesimals is the biggest unsolved problem in the nebular disk model. How 1 cm sized particles coalesce into 1 km planetesimals is a mystery. This mechanism appears to be the key to the question as to why some stars have planets, while others have nothing around them, not even dust belts.

I lay any blame squarely at the feet of IT security of large organisations that were entirely unprepared to update a widely used dependency that wasn't an operating system or a runtime. Windows, Linux, Java, and .NET are all commonly updated, but "modules" aren't.

This wasn't just a predictable scenario, it was predicted. Or more accurately, it has occurred already repeatedly in the NPM ecosystem, but for some mysterious reason those incidents were simply ignored by security teams world wide.

Instead of chilling them to the bone, they simply shrugged their shoulders and said "Well, we don't use NPM... I think. Probably?" and went on with their paper-pushing or whatever it is CISOs do these days.

If you think Log4j is bad, wait until Rust gets popular and has something similar happens with a commonly used crate. How would you scan for a vulnerability in compiled code that doesn't even have separate module files?

I had to help an organisation with log4j that had on the order of 5K distinct executables/applications across 3K servers on two clouds and three on-prem networks. At least with log4j it's a simple matter of finding JAR files and scanning their contents. They're just zip files! With languages that output a single binary by default such as Rust and Go, we would have been screwed. No way to scan, no way to self-help update.

Introspection and post-shipping updates for security are mandatory. Rust and Go like to pretend they aren't, because they originate from organisations that are in total, end-to-end control of the software on their own network. Google famously uses a monorepo and can build everything they run from scratch in short order. The shortcuts they can take with their post-release management will never work for ordinary organisations. Never.

So let this be a lesson: Log4j was made for a language that at least allowed us all to find the issue and fix it ourselves. We have Sun's forward-thinking and the enterprise-friendliness of the Java ecosystem to thank for that.
My position on those organizations political bias is from ratings by several independent organizations such as Ground News (but not only them) which I have been using more recently.

I read 100's of news sources weekly, and if topic I want information on I drill down beyond the news organization seeking out orginal sources (for example if a news organization is reporting on a COVID Study, I read the study. If they are reporting on the 6th circuits ruling, I go read the ruling.. etc)

It is ironic that someone the proudly proclaims they only consume information from 3 sources proclaims I am in an echo chamber but they could never be... lol

The problem with killer robots is that it lowers the political threshold for both starting wars, and for continuing them.

In Europe today, even 2 or 3 dead soldiers is enough to end coalition participation. (Japan's participation in Iraq wasn on the condition of no direct combat and no casualties, so other countries had to babysit the Japanese soldiers.)

The US in WW2 had to invade Japan ASAP before the political will at home faded, which is why unconditional surrender was demanded - there was no way politically to rearm and sail across the Pacific again. Meanwhile, that wasn't a factor for the Axis or Russia.

Japan's behavior in China in WW2 was basically identical to what you see in the "Terminator" movies. Something to think about.
I was born into a rich family, so I’m not sure about how money affects one’s morale. But…

> My motivation for my study is gone, I stopped working out, stopped reading books and am basically becoming insanely depressed in the process. The covid situation is not helping much either.

I had that problem around 27 too, and got it completely fixed up by being on a trip for > 2 months. I thought I was relaxing, but, nearing 50th or 60th day or so, I found myself being overly stressed and desperately wanting to do something meaningful. Doing nothing but consuming is such a big pain. So I swore to myself that I’m gonna do something - just anything not meaningless.

After I returned, I worked for an NGO, and then tried to become a political writer, but ended up working for a startup, which is growing pretty good. It has been a quite some journey so far.

So, yeah, if you can’t really find an answer, maybe try to take a long break. Some trekking can be good - keeping your body healthy helps with depression.

I wasn't arguing anything about any particular person, but rather commenting that a lot of the entrepreneurs and investors that get fetishized around here found their "success" from family wealth or by doing some sociopath-level things.

leaving the caves was an individual- or tribal-level decision. in fact, many groups did not leave the caves, only some did. it’s a poor metaphor for climate change because we don’t have the option of exploring both paths simultaneously as a species in the same way our ancestors did with those caves.

cost/benefit analysis, i do agree with though. or maybe a “risk-adjusted” cost/benefit. the biggest disagreement i have is with people who think climate change is inherently bad, rather than believing specific outcomes/effects of climate change are bad. when you unpack climate change often the bad things are common across catastrophes caused by other disruptions, e.g. food/water insecurity is something we could see both from climate change or large-scale war. certain ways of thinking about the situation might lead a person to believe that addressing these effects is the way to make humanity more bulletproof, rather than trying to prevent the several distinct causes (CO2 emissions being one of them) that lead to the real problems. though it’s never an all-or-nothing, more like “reduce the causes to the point that you’re not reducing our ability to respond to the effects”. cost/benefit analysis, like you say.
That's all bullshit. React is open source and still own the design and all the development roadmap. I honestly think wolfram is an amazing technology but until it embraces the open-source community it'll stay a language that most company will never want to use.

C++ is just a stricter C - if you write proper C, it will be a correct C++ program, therefore it would run at the same speed. There's no way C can be other than marginally faster than C++ - if you write C and compile it with a C++ compiler.

Then you have various optimizations that come from things like templates, constexpr. Look at the qsort method - to have a modicum of genericity you need to pass a function that will be invoked. Instead, a C++ version would be able to be optimized to compare the elements directly, without calling a function, avoiding a big number of function calls.

There's no way to make C faster than well written C++. But C++ is complex and a lot of people write bad C++, that's why it has developed a bad reputation. It's really undeserved.

interestingly both sites want to claim to be the single authoritative source of data, and place to register and search for stolen bikes, but the "market" for such online services is really split between the two... or maybe there's a 3rd online bike registry I'm totally unaware of as well?

from the bikeindex faq (https://bikeindex.org/help):

=====

Right now people with good intentions buy stolen bikes because there isn't a single searchable, simple resource to check before buying a bike.

Bike Index is that resource. The next time you buy a used bike, check the Index first.

529 garage also would seem to present as if it is the only source of data...

https://project529.com/garage/faq/en/

in reality I think the data is split between the two sites. My bike is registered on 529, this has provided motivation to me to also submit the same photos/data to bikeindex for a belt and suspenders type approach.

Everything is not amazing. We’re still social creatures and there is arguably a lot of stress and angst in the social world we find ourselves in. If “everything” is so amazing why are people working over 40/50/60+ hours a week to make ends meet? Why are people made destitute over hospital bills in America? This is something the more privileged among us seem to forget over and over again. Humanity has a ways to go yet before everything is amazing. We can’t just look at our incredible advances in science and technology and call that enough. Yes I’m fun at parties.

It can, but like with other “rich” structures (type systems, data schemas, IDLs...) there is usually no single good solution, and when you need different ones to interoperate (either because you hit the limits of one of them or because you need to bridge two preexisting systems) you need to write a lot of tedious boilerplate at best and are completely stuck at worst. AFAICS that’s why amorphous sequences of bytes won as the fundamental (absence of an) abstraction in many places (files, networks, RAM, etc.).

I would very much like for this not to be true, but there doesn’t seem to be a good solution.

With syntax trees in particular, it’s also frequently difficult to find even a single good option for what you would reasonably want a diff to be: last I checked rich-text diffs usable over arbitrary HTML (even sans CSS) still sucked in half the cases you’d want. Line- and word-based diffs over the source also suck, naturally, but at least they do so uniformly. It’s not an accident Stack Overflow will usually try to show you a rich-text diff when editing but will occasionally fall back to word-diffing the Markdown.

And a version control system needs to interoperate above all. Unlike, say, an IDE, and you do see attempts at semantic and even structured editing in IDEs.

Haha, Mention Ayn Rand on HN, get some downvotes, sadly never any good questions or remarks. I wonder if the downvoters really read it. I feel like just like the Selfish Gene, you can misread Atlas Shrugged. I think a core point is that it makes you ponder if doing something for someone you love is selfishness.

> the cancellation is not perfect and what I am actually getting into the ear is the residual high frequency noise, which may in fact be quite dangerous.

From GP:

> I can see quite clearly that the high frequency noise happens when you subtract two images, one of which is shifted by half-pixel for instance. What you are left with is the edges (high frequency) of the image.

Show me the part where the word “amplitude” appears in any parent post.

Additionally as mentioned in parent posts, noise cancelling headphone run a low pass filter over the input to the ANC system, specifically because achieving good alignment between your ANC signal and original signal is basically impossible at wave lengths shorter as you can’t know the exactly which direction the original signal came from (direct perpendicular to the head, or at a close tangential angle), and thus can’t compensate for the offset needed to ensure the two signals arrive at eardrum at the right time.
