The National Post radical.???

It is more tasteless and characterless than the sawdust served at an IKEA cafeteria. Nothing about it is radical. They raison d’être is to defend the English Canadian way to do government (therefore literally the opposite of radical).

“Radical” NP opposes Quebec’s nationalist laws including the anti-muslim laws, laws forcing immigrant to learn French in six months after arriving (under pain of being kicked out??).

Their founder Lord Conrad Black -the only columnist with an ounce of flamboyance - spent some time in an US jail before SCOTUS declared most of the accusations as unconstitutional. In jail he taught his fellow inmates to read and got them to get their GEDs.

Lord Black has been a tireless advocate of US prison reform, years before it became trendy.

Their religious columnist, a Catholic priest, is Goan and a staunch defender of Pope Francis (those who are Catholic will understand that).

Words that come to mind with NP are:

“mayonnaise”,
“boring”, “establishment”,
“Multiculturalism promoters”,
“Pro-immigration”,
“Post-religious Anglican”

That being said, they are critical of Trudeau - a man who wore blackface twice, brown-face (ie Indian) in his first term, fires women who criticize him publicly, etc.

The NP are the antipode of radical.
I appreciate that like something created by a group of people. It’s a great relationship between creators and audiences. That’s awesome and I hope you aren’t cut off from this group for arbitrary reasons like geopolitics.
But a ban can be expected, as Chinese government enforces a system that allows only pre-approved games to be available to the country citizens. Chinese gaming companies too had been hit with bans.
Good point. I don’t really know if it is gluten. I hadn’t thought of that!
I think the description could use some work.
The "along" the spectrum part that most latch on to subconsciously is related to spectrums being a visual measure of energy level. That part does increase along the spectrum. That being said I think her interpretation is much more useful for the actual subject matter and important for people to keep in mind. People with actual diversity will often appear high and low functioning in various ways. It's important to understand that dynamic.
> The writing is on the wall. You MUST host your own code on a stand-alone website.

Because this does not prevent having the code to land on GitHub at the of the day assuming it is published under a free license.

Now it depends on how you interpret the "MUST". My logic only makes sense if you consider it to a dogmatic-like prevention.
I was contemplating a PR with original license, but your course of action is much better.
Be specific. What exact resources do you want access to?
For countries neighboring west so much, particularly Germany, neither Poland nor Czechia seem to have capitalized much. I find it more impressive how Romania progressed, given the cards it was dealt.
Inside you feel nothing, is at the edges the problem
> Assuming it's even true, what should this person do instead?

Since this is copyright infringement, the copyright holder could file a DMCA takedown notice.
For me it was the amazon listings on their app in the video. You can see the "Dickie Roberts child star" movie poster. That's been popular on Amazon prime for the last couple months.
Because “Microsoft Bad”. When a company gets big enough, there will always be a portion of the population you can never please, and Microsoft reached that size a long time ago.
Chinese games are free to be published outside of China. It is about the control of what's available inside the country.
Looks like you're vulnerable to SQL injection? I think someone could potentially spoof their user agent and own your database.
If they didn't anonymize the data, or tried but failed to, then we can hold them to account for that.

But the government didn't create this door or open this door. Whether or not they access this data, it's there to be accessed. Might as well use it for public good, and create a framework for using it safely.
I think most people explicitly choose MIT for this. It's a very very free license, allowing you to do pretty much anything you want with the code. Among the opensource developers I know the one thing they consistently care about is attribution for the work they've done for free.
Wrong. Read the man page for openat - the main reason for its use is explained and it is not the one you mention, though it is given as a secondary reason.

1940s era Battleships are probably unnecessary gigantism, but it should be noted that the 'massive' ironclads of the 1890s were completely obsolete by the much bigger, heavily armored Dreadnoughts. (The battleships of 1890s were too small and impractical, leading to the development of the 1900s era bigger ships)

The only reason Super-Battleships of the 1940s didn't work was because aircraft carriers were better. Whenever a bigger ship went up against smaller ones, the results were spectacular. See Bismark vs HMS Hood (Battle of Denmark Strait) for example.

Battleships basically shoot 1 ton per gun per shot, and have broadsides of 9 guns in a unified and coordinated Salvo. These are the biggest guns ever made.

------

Big guns shoot further. Bigger ships can afford thicker steel for more armor. Smaller guns of the Destroyer and Cruiser classes simply cannot damage Battleships in combat, too little range and even if they had the range, not enough penetrating power to go through the armor.

So if you have a smaller ship, you gotta sail into range while giving your opponents battleship first strike (and all 1940s ships had computerized firing systems, mechanical computers but they worked). So they were quite accurate with these big guns too.

------

Tanks went a similar evolution in Germany. Other countries (France / Russia) put effort into heavy tanks, but Germany first focused on light tanks...

Until the German shells were bouncing off of their foreign counterpart's armor. So the Germans later made King Tigers, as bigger is in fact better in some circumstances.
An autism diagnosis is actually not vague; it's only the public perception of autism that is vague.

And I really would be quite happy with that if it weren't for the fact that it's become popular and draws a ton of unwanted attention now.
These claims act as if the Vietnamese weren't themselves divided on communism or that the USSR wasn't running propaganda campaigns to convince everybody they were in the moral right.
Problem: people being shitty to delivery workers

Suggested solution: be shitty to a delivery worker

Seems like some solid reasoning and empathy.
Woah TIL. That does seem like a very strange decision.
I guess this is grounds for a valid DMCA take down? They are obviously breaking license agreement, effectively stealing copyrighted software.
I have seen a distinction made between "bioinformatics" - analysing biological data with software - and "computational biology" - using biological systems to do computing.

What OP seems to be talking about is systems modelling, where you model the network of genes and proteins (genomics and proteomics) using tools partly derived from modelling of computer networks.
No. They don't. That's the whole purpose of this "actually autistic" movement. And the infuriating thing is that it shouldn't even be necessary.
A typical spectrum is the exact same thing as gradients of frequencies. The difference is just in interpretation and actionable mitigations. You can operate on both levels of such a model, for different purposes and effects.
Everyone is suggesting taking more but you can have a decently profound experience with just 2g.

Try it with an eye mask and just music next time, and no other distractions, maybe with a trip sitter nearby.
Actually that’s interesting because logically it implies that anybody seeking diagnosis is in fact impaired.
That's wrong. Saying that two things are the same doesn't make them the same. So a comment like yours is either totally naive, or paid for by China.
Yes, it counts as distribution. Why you would even stripped copyrights form?
> I was left… underwhelmed

What the hell are you talking about. I have seen the launch with my kids and it's been the most awesome thing of the last few years!
I am lucky enough to be home with my small immediate family this morning. I spent most prior to this in basic training, deployed on a military mission, working in federal prisons, or some other seemingly less-than-desirable place. I grew to enjoy some of those days. There was a type of camaraderie amongst the folks that drew that short straw- and it was widely accepted that we were just there 'to put out fires.' Often times we would get a short visit from 'higher ups' and get that few seconds to connect on a more personal level. It drew out a bit of a different side from the 'extra alpha' types of some of these places that I used to work.

Not that any of that is better than being with family- just an added perspective. Happy holidays!
Now we are in a decision making role vs support role discussion.

“People skills” mostly are detecting the group consensus and running with it. Not the type of leader you need in tech.

Geeks are known to fight hard for their independent opinions. Especially when it goes against the group opinion. You need the willingness to do so - if required - from a leader ... so not a pure people person.

What is required though is being a good communicator. Most geeks learn that very fast. If properly taught...

Accounting can be hired for pretty cheap virtually everywhere on earth.
- You’re at work looking for an appropriately licensed library to do X.

- You find one with an MIT license and use it.

- Oops! It was really GPL and now you have some undesirable options to face.

Microsoft’s had a few “accidents” lately that remind me too much of their old war on the GPL.
Quite a few of my NASA colleagues worked today to launch the James Webb Space Telescope, and I'm sure most of them didn't mind working on Christmas.

And I certainly appreciate all of those who work on the holidays to keep us safe.

"In God We Trust" was added to currency in the mid 1950s as part of the "Red Scare" and anticommunist sentiment.

Before 1957 the national motto was E PLURIBUS UNUM - One From Many. Too commie!

This was the same time that "under god" was added to the pledge of allegiance, which before just read "... One nation, indivisible"
It's interesting, as I've heard the same reasoning with taxation too. We can have all these sophisticated statistical models, risk models, and so forth; yet what ultimately gets produced is a basic tax bracket step scale that (hopefully) anyone can understand.

So is there actually academic research on how to best 'dummy down' complex models for society? Or is it end of day the actuaries, statisticians, and mathematicians tell policy makers their findings and some polysci major just approximates from there?
The author of this article, Tyler Cowen, purports to be this kind of hard-headed economist that this joke is about:

Two economists were out window-shopping. They stop to look at a flashy, expensive sports car in a dealership window. The first economist says, "I really want that car". The second said "No, you don't". Tyler Cowen wants to be that 2nd economist.

But strangely, in this article, Cowen acts as the first economist, telling everyone they really want that flashy sports car. No, the USA does not want more people, otherwise we'd have a non-punitive, non-racist immigration system, instead of a system that benefits a few plutocrats.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that I was answerable to you.

Do you treat all marginalized groups this way?
No. If you hack into my company and siphon out an EXE for an internal tool that uses GPL licensed code, you are not entitled to the source code of the package because the company did not “distribute” it to you; you took it without any right to have it.

There’s a whole philosophical debate we can have where we quibble over the definitions of words as they deal with technology, but the (US) courts generally don’t care about technicalities. An analogy is stolen property. If you purchase something that is stolen property, you have (almost) no legal right to it; the courts will often order its seizure for return to the original owner. By “hacking” (according to the CFAA), you “stole” the EXE.
> I really can't fathom how people describe it as one of the most profound experiences of their lives.

For this to be possible, you need to be alone (= undistracted) and (ideally) be surrounded by beautiful and calm nature, in a completely secure setting.

Then, your inner state must be ready for this.

Also, if your current level of consciousness is not ready for it, it won't happen at this point in time.
If I were to guess, it would be that the action performed here (or the basis of the code implementing this action) was intended to be done on internal Microsoft repositories that should be open-sourced.
This is an incredible post, and thank you for the mission critical work that you do. I'm always curious what other people's work lives are like -- can you talk a little bit about your job, the tasks you're working on today, and how the people you interact with on a day like today (customers, clients, coworkers) could make today a little easier / more fun?
Yet they seem hell bent on making houses from a cardboard and other extremely flammable materials.
No, any language that allows operator overloading can hide ridiculously costly operations behind mundane-looking code. C is pretty good about that, but C++ is not: you can even overload the comma operator!
Also, there's this from the link:

"The third possibility is the one that really intrigues me. A 2011 study found that a single dose of psilocybin could permanently increase the personality dimension of Openness To Experience. I’m emphasizing that because personality is otherwise pretty stable after adulthood; nothing should be able to do this."

The fact is everything IS able to do this and it's up to the person to choose it. Most people don't.

The idea that personality is a stable feature after adulthood is simply a cultural phenomena. As a person who has accidentally/intentionally constructed different identities with different voices in the head after out the mouth, it's very clear to me people's identities are incredibly malleable and most people are simply unaware/unpracticed in how to do it.
This also does not refer to the gaseous form of water, which was my first impression reading the headline
The statement you tagged as “wrong” was:

> The larger issue is that anyone using GitHub is donating their work for re-use without attribution through Copilot.

Why is this wrong?
Perhaps that is a bigger need that ought to be addressed separately instead of mixing it in with the mental health industry.

This may be the domain of the matchmaking industry, which basically exists to keep people feeling alienated.

Thanks for doing what you do! (What is it that you do?)
aka 95k a year, which is just short of the magic six-figures i guess for political reasons.
There's a difference between "1/16th Cherokee" and "growing up on a reservation with grandfather".

The full context on the conversation is important.

In this conversation: I'd like to know more on how to define: people like us.
I agree with this. Even the music may serve as too much of a distraction, as well.
Just the fact that you are already doing things to bounce back is amazing. All of your experiences would be hard to handle as one offs, but you are an incredibly strong individual for having all 3 happen at the same time. Take it a little bit at a time…I know HN can’t be with you in person, but we are with you in spirit!
Can it be identified only in a PR or is there any tool that can search through all forks?
Maybe it’s too small problem to solve though.
One disatvantage of the language itself is the need for compilation, which isn't that fast in my limited experience. But I would love to hear how much this affects iteration speed.
Takes me back to end of the fall semester and running XSnow, NCSA Mosaic, Nedit, and many of these tools, furiously coding in C or lisp on my projects, on an Xterm in the computer lab.
I'm perfectly aware, but I'm providing an example of how both concepts could reasonably be applied to not only autism but mental disorders in general
This is my confusion learning python, just pick a thing for struct will ya :)
> The language used and the fact that the same persons are involved in two government funded funds strongly suggests that this is a diversity initiative in disguise.

This initiative is form the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, a foundation that’s like a decade old. One of their projects is the prototype fund. Is it really surprising that the people involved in one initiative of the OKFN are involved in another of their initiatives, especially since it revolves broadly around the same topic - funding public interest software? Are you seriously suggesting that the OKFN is a front to distribute government money to a thinly veiled diversity initiative? Because the language used in your comment strongly suggest so. But I don’t have proof in this case, so I will not claim that this is what you’re doing.
It does makes sense, sadly.

I’m surprised people are seeking diagnosis just to have the label. What actual benefits are they getting?
It's not 100% related but certificate pinning (HKPK) is only enforced for CA trusted by browser. It is ignored if the leaf certificate is signed by a user-imported CA (or deployed by enterprise policies). Maybe the same applies for SCT?
It's lacking in comedy, but another unlucky WWII vessel was the USS Sturtevant. It succumbed to an unfortunate sort of friendly fire.

I looked into it. No one ever pointed to any significant discrepancies, not even on the wiki page. Does it really matter if her fathers was released a month earlier? Or that she mixed up some mountains names? I suspect she is being attacked for the political views she developed while living in US. Similar story with Ayana Hirsi Ali. Honestly, in todays climate Solzhenitsyn himself would have been cancelled within minutes
I never mentioned that a narcissist would seek a diagnosis for their disorder, only that their disorder can be debilitating.
Cant thank enough folks like sandworm101 who keep the society running giving the rest of us the flexibility to spend time with our loved ones. Deep gratitude
It is in fact a Toronto company that invented the technique of tracking pandemics with cellphone data, after the 2003 SARS outbreak, and it is being used in a number of cities:

Yes and no. Biological systems are similar to mechanical computers in that they are information processing systems.

However, they are also self-assembling, self-repairing, wet, massively parallel, etc. Artificial biological systems are in a sense programmable, but with the difficulties of a physical system that can be error-prone and extremely complex.
I would love to see a combination of Markdown + Pandoc used to generate LaTeX whilst keeping the writing process content-centric.

I find the mathematical typesetting functionality of LaTeX to be incredible, but anything else (tables, columns, etc.) to be an absolute nightmare.

Pandoc allows for Lua filter to pre-process an AST generated from raw Markdown, and can then convert to 'traditional' LaTeX - why can't we utilise the best of both worlds?

For example, I used Pandoc to create Beamer slides in Markdown, with nice `div` syntax and maths typesetting - the advantage was I could focus on the semantics (and have a directly readable document) without any LaTeX fluff that was purely aesthetic.
Of course, being so young and still out of the job market in any measurable capacity, you need to try and bite at a number of available opportunities before finding your place. That said, if you really want to develop a skill that might afford you both money and time, would you consider sales maybe? No office hours, no burn out, your own pace… You just need to develop your social skills and become an attentive extrovert, starting from a theatre acting course, maybe, or a customer facing role if arts are too far away your current set up and inclinations. Good luck!
Rain, a little snow, but mostly just cold (very cold for here) in the next couple days at least in the Seattle metro area.
Who do you imagine would say this in your scenario? Most countries had no incentive to see Russia split and risk destabilizing the entire region and have no functioning government in control of the nukes. The split of the Soviet Union was already high risk.
That being said, if someone were to sue Microsoft over this (they would have to be the original copyright holder), I think it's more likely Microsoft would try and settle out of court.
Your experience and mine (plus thousands of others in the reviews) are vastly different. One thing that interests me is how much someone has to actually care about a problem before they are willing to take the time to go post a review. I think its an interesting metric to use when looking at stuff like this. Thousands of bad reviews is a pretty large number when you take into account just how many people won't go and post a review.
When I asked for the referral (last year) they said I'd never handed the forms in when I checked back in 2017

Terrible process, not being able to run the gauntlet first try should be one of the tests honestly
