> Let's appreciate HN for the quality of reading material and its curb on our drift to the rest of the 'popular' web.

Yes, but incentives are not there. Where incentives are is throwing flack at anything and anyone that is popular(including HN) since they also get clicks by association. So it simply does not matter how far and wide you shout stuff like that will always get created and will on occasion rise to the top.
If a study is observing how human reacts to a certain situation, that's research with human subjects. The Linux study observed how maintainers react to bugs, this CCPA/GDPR request spam observed how data protection staff reacts to requests about their processes.

And the backlash is not hypocritical. You're of course right that FB has also done really questionable research, but that doesn't matter here. I've also seen significant uncertainty about this spam series in the data protection/privacy community, i.e. criticism by those people who get to deal with these emails.
> A "warming sensation" is not what the OP has experienced.

A warming sensation is the first thing OP noticed: "I took them off of my charger, put them on my head, and noticed they were suddenly getting very warm".

Taking them off at that point does remove _some_ of the risks.

Harvard has never been a meritocracy and never will be. It is an elite establishment and will protect the elites of the world and offer them safe harbor for 4 years. It is good of them that they removed the facade of requiring exams at all since they can now be open about choosing the future elites from the children of the current elites.

The diversity trope is just pure performative art to justify more rich elite whites. They do this discrimination while having a massive endowment and still receiving huge taxpayer handouts.
Toxicity does not work this way. Toxicity is a combination of how harmful whatever substance is, how deep the exposure was, and how long the exposure was. If you were exposed only for a short time to smoke and you don't have lasting lung symptoms right after the fact, it's very unlikely it has caused any systemic damages.

And wireless headphones with very tiny batteries are unlikely to cause fire - larger headphones like the one described in the article carry a bit more risk.

It is because people lacked interest in it and ran out of things to say. The conversation was more or less saturated such that it occurs only mostly organically like an author's book coming out or an actual story related to the far dysfunctional outliers who let their kid starve to play more Everquest. Except with smartphones you can always half-ass most functions.

The media itself has an attention span of a small child in its pursuit of ratings so they move onto the next emotional source.

We experienced a 100% infection rate super-spreader event in our circle of four close friends last weekend. A husband in our group traveled for work last week and by end of the week was sick and clearly showing symptoms. His wife felt fine and the rest of our wives still decided to go out for the long-ago planed dinner/drinks Saturday night. To make matters worse they decided to car pool into one SUV. These are all fully vaccinated and boosted adults. My son also went into car (vaccinated) for short ride to babysitter.

By Monday my wife and another one of the wives was feeling symptoms. Tuesday my son stayed home from school with sore throat and by bedtime we were rushing him to the hospital with a 103 fever. He tested positive while at the hospital. Since then every single person in that car has also tested positive through PCR.

I thought I escaped it by isolating from my wife/son in our home but I started to show early symptoms Wednesday morning waking up with splitting headache. I went and got tested that afternoon. By Thursday night I was having itchy throat, chills, fatigue and body aches. Feeling pretty crappy and a crazy symptom I also have been having is uncontrollable hiccups past 24 hours that come and go.

The test I took Wednesday came back negative but the OTC Rapid I did today was positive. I am going for another PCR tomorrow to confirm as the first one was done possibly too early after exposure with no symptoms.

IF this is the Omicron that went through our vaccinated group like butter, we are going to be in a very bad spot by mid-january.
No. You have to assume that the employee copied the password to a place that you have no control over - for example a browser-based password manager attached to a private sync account, possibly enrolled a second token that you have no control over. You don’t even have to assume malice for that to happen.

Using hardware based keys for accounts that require shared access is a pain, sometimes even effectively impossible (AWS allows a single U2F token on its root account, effectively making it impossible to grant 2 or more people access to it, if using a hardware token)

And then, not all services provide 2fa, less with a physical key and for some, 2fa is comparatively easy to circumvent. But all of that holds true for every password management solution that manages long-term credentials (that is: including api tokens, access keys, certificates, …)

The only thing that saves you is personalized accounts that you can deprovision - from a management perspective I love SCIM and SAML, even with all their technical flaws.
As of now (and for the following years), C (_not_ C++) is still the _only_ language which's libraries can be _easily_ called from (almost) any other language.

Cosmology is not a done science. There are a great number of advances that have answered specific problems regarding the behavior of light and energy, mass and gravity and so forth, but our knowledge is not complete (and will likely never be).

Articles like this get traction because the lay person may have believed that the science was more mature than it is. (Some) scientists are also notoriously famous for exaggerating how much science "knows" - Stephen Hawkings claim to the mind of God comes to mind.

We need to relieve such scientists of the burden of needing to know it all, and be grateful for all the things still left to discover.
List of Some Hideous Site Found on the DarkNet
I also agree #1 is big, BUT a lot of sites are platforms now so ideally you'd have something that just throws out the particular parts of the platform that train you for dullness, etc. My method is rss/atom feeds whenever possible, basically use alternative channels to get to the same information.

AFAIK you always had to cast `void *` in C++ (like the return value of `malloc`).
long ago I submitted code to perl to help it run nicely on AIX workstations that were at use at Intel at the time: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/3e25f6d2dce9289bf3894d673...

Then in 1999, Red Hat files an IPO and offers free shares to open source developers. That blurb in the perl source got got me included in the Red Hat IPO but the email was so strangely worded I assumed it was spam and deleted it. Oh well.

I'd like to chime in my two cents that are likely controversial. I preferred a different C book to K&R: "K. N. King. C Programming: A Modern Approach". Second, I could not grok Stroustrup's writing style. I preferred Stanley Lippman's C++ Primer. A new version of that has been around the corner for years .. current ETA is mid next year,

labview is kinda terrible in my experience, and in the experience of most of the people in my EE class. That is why I find the blender node system so impressive, it is a graphical programming language, but it is actually really nice. (also, blender now has geometry nodes, which are really poweful and fun to play with)
Most services don't have a good way to restrict 2fa to certain keys which would be required for that.

Also that would still mean rotating any tokens/m2m keys that have been issued.

The "proper way" would be to try to minimize how many tokens/keys are readable by employees (they should probably be only read by deployment jobs etc.) and use SSO for interactive logins. When offboarding a user it should be enough to remove the user from the SSO provider and rotate any tokens/m2m keys that the employee actually had access to (as long as the employee did not get access to issue new tokens).

Unfortunately a lot of services treat SSO as a "premium" feature and require "call us" enterprise plans for it.
Not really. Moral panics are like their names suggests panic, on baseless fear. Even if it is a problem to be concerned about like kidnapping they will focus on the wrong aspect that incites the most fear instead of what is actually germane. See "stranger danger" and fears of pedophiles looking for some lurking creeper when they should be looking at their divorced ex or a trusted part of their kid's life.

It is a common problem, they always look for some sort of cartoonish villain to blame things on.
I don't think there is universal agreement for Dvorak being more ergonomic than Qwerty. Qwerty was designed to make key presses with alternative hands statistically likely (to benefit mechanical type writers). But this is also a good ergonomic property. For example, common English works like "the" can be typed with one hand with Dvorak, but this is not necessarily ergonomic. It causes one to contort the hand more than if "the" is typed with alternative hands.
There are a lots of good reasons not to go cordless if you honestly don't need to. This is one of them.

It's obvious that you're promoting duck eggs at the expense of, say, chicken eggs or quail eggs or even ostrich eggs. Maybe you could tone that down a bit.
This conversation is not about an abstract trolley problem of years to life / life to years. It's about reality today.

The post I was quoting ended with "Why do we still have these silly mandates?? How much longer do people want to do this?"

The issue at hand is whether a person is willing to get vaxxed, wear a mask, observe local mandates and do various other things for the benefit of others - particularly those who are clinically vulnerable. It really is offensive to refer to someone who is clinically vulnerable as "at the end of their natural lives anyway".

If, as a society, we can do a few unselfish things, this will reduce the burden on health systems so people who need care can get it. An over-burdened health system is one that can't service anyone, regardless of the source of their problem.
I get very little real spam (abuse from harvested addresses). I use throw-away addresses everywhere. If one gets harvested I throw it away. I forward all mails to gmail and their false positive rate in spam detection is well over 50%. I cannot see that clicking not spam improves the situation. Well, I don't know how much they would classify spam if I'd never clicked it.
It might be interesting to see how humans solve this. Maybe it will prople some denser / easier way to explain things. Or maybe we'll just stop the flood and go back to calm learning with the good old material.
> are there cables like this

Yes and they’re not super rare
I can confirm that I had a similar feeling after wearing the the AirPods Pro for just about an hour. I tested them for a few days and returned them in the end.

However, my Sennheiser over-ear ANC headphones (MB660) have a much better ANC effect compared to the AirPods but the strain on the ears is a lot less intense. I would expect, that the Bose QC-35 II are much closer to the MB660 than to the AirPods Pro.
> You can happily pull master with a test fail.

No, you can sometimes pull master with a test fail and knowing which tests are ok to fail is a skill in itself.

> That does presume you are OK with collective responsibility for the codebase

That only works on small projects and on "simpler" projects. On my last project with 100+ developers it was likely that a bunch of the failures could only be fixed by 1-2 people. Asking a tools programmer to fix a failing networking test, or a gameplay/network programmer to fix a material bug is a stupid waste lf time.

> If you insist one dev per branch and that dev merges, thats playing blame games

That's a strawman. Nobody is talking about one dev branch per person except you. There are other branching models (git flow, task branches or even feature branches) with well defined criteria for merging back to main available that allow for multiple team members and stability in main.

> We all know breakage is inconvenient so we all try not to do it on branches or trunk.

This is a very naive view and is the equivalent of "just make sure it works before you submit", and doesn't scale into even tens of developers working on a project in my experience.
So there are still ads in the web? Thanks for the reminder. You really forget about that behind ff+ublock...
It's not really voluntary - you are excluded from lots of society by law that you previously didn't had access to if you don't do it (for instance you are no longer legally allowed to visit restaurants, museums etc).

At the very least it's highly coercive. (I personally am vaccinated, think everyone should get themselves vaccinated, and am against 'vaccination passports').
The most interesting one being the SA-1 chip, imho. It's the exact same processor as in the SNES except clocked three times faster, 10.74MHz instead of 3.58MHz. This means you can hack games to have their original code run on the SA-1 instead of the original CPU. Which is exactly what Vitor Vitela did for numerous games to remove their massive slowdowns.

Law is heavily driven by money. In many cases, certainty and facts are not reached at all. With enough resources, a large company can usually prolong lawsuits for years, if not reaching a favorable result outright.

Even if an individual had proven facts and legislations on their side, the court can still screw them up.
Firstly, "3rd most common cause of death" != "a third of all people".

But putting that aside, I too found the claim implausible and went looking for data. Here is what the CDC has to say:

Leading Causes of Death
Data are for the U.S.

Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
* Heart disease: 659,041
* Cancer: 599,601
* Accidents (unintentional injuries): 173,040
* Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 156,979
* Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,005
* Alzheimer’s disease: 121,499
* Diabetes: 87,647
* Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 51,565
* Influenza and pneumonia: 49,783
* Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,511

Would this post be considered marketing? A teaser? Whatever it is, I strangely enjoyed it a lot. It's a perfect appetizer to get the juices flowing on thinking about the next generation of application software and how databases can enable that.

I think currently in the industry we are stuck in a hyper pragmatist, "value extraction" holding pattern and there is going to be a next generation of applications at some point that will be, at least partially, enabled by some of the advances discussed here.

In my mind at least, the actual "web3" or the next major generation of applications is not going to be this goofy decentralized blockchain gimmick factory.

It will consist of AR applications that you literally "wear" and let them enhance your reality in physical space, in real useful ways.

These applications will have a whole other level of latency and stability requirements because when they are quite literally in your face the user is going to have increased sensitivity to any latency or jitter.
Actually lithium polymer is a bit of a misnomer. Almost all "lipo" batteries are actually liion but the name now means more "li ion in a pouch" instead of pointing to any specific chemistry. So in most cases, the battery that powers your cellphone has more or less the same chemistry than a regular 18650. True Lithium-polymer is a real battery chemistry but it is very rarely used.

Also, "lipo" batteries are actually the least safe configurations for liion. LiFePo and LiTi are inherently safer, but liion pouch cells are probably the worst even amongst other batteries of the same chemistry. A regular 18650 is very hard to puncture or deform, does not swell and has built in vent ports on the top- a li-po usually doesn't. So they have very little structural integrity, can be easy to puncture (which sometimes lead to internal shorting), have a hard time venting gases when they overheat, and need to be kept compressed to avoid swelling.

The reason they are still used is because of the huge weight savings that comes with not having a heavy steel casing and because they are a lot more modular. That also means they can be made larger and push a much higher amperage. At the very high end you can go up to 200-300 amps per cell vs 30-35 for high current 18650s.

The point is that the update doesn't really tell us much about how well the approach scales despite aiming to do so.
There's some odd syntax in this post, which passes colon-delimited indented code blocks to function calls, than control flow primitives. It reminds me of Ruby/Kotlin blocks or Swift's blocks (criticized in https://blog.metaobject.com/2020/06/the-curious-case-of-swif...), but it's quite unusual from my Python/C++/Rust background and I think it's worth explaining in the blog post, since I don't know if it's passing a key-value map/struct or a lambda.
That should be the norm for any kind of rechargeable system: be there. Charging is the risky time for all those devices, especially where you can't remove the battery from the device and so you don't know what is happening to it thermally and whether or not it has already started expansion.
I think there have been more in-flight battery fires than (attempted) terrorist attacks.
I would assume so but it probably depends on the "level" of exposure and such.

> am against 'vaccination passports'

These are required when visiting certain countries where you are expected to be vaccinated against certain diseases.

Also for citizenship in most places (TB vaccine + scan of lungs, all other expected vaccines...)

So its merely adding a new vaccine to the already existing lists.

Judging by the number of vulnerabilities that continue to be found every freaking year due to easily preventable problems, it seems nobody has learned how to program in C to this day. Yourself included.

Having said that, Rust is a C++ replacement not a C replacement. The biggest selling point of C is being the thing every other language talks and running everywhere including embedded devices with crappy custom compilers.

With both Rust and C++ you still need to write extern "C" wrappers which are suboptimal, even when partially automated, and neither runs everywhere.
