Making copy/paste bugs too hard discourages copy/pasting code rather than reading and rewriting, so, mixed bag there, IMO.

> When integers are divided and the division is inexact, if both operands are positive the result of the / operator is the largest integer less than the algebraic quotient and the result of the % operator is positive. If either operand is negative, whether the result of the / operator is the largest integer less than the algebraic quotient or the smallest integer greater than the algebraic quotient is implementation-defined, as is the sign of the result of the % operator. If the quotient a/b is representable, the expression (a/b)*b + a%b shall equal a .

No neurotypical expert who has studied Autism or ADHD has a better window into the lived experience than I do, and no non-Autistic person can understand or relate to our culture in the ways that I can.

If you are a software engineer and are able to blog, you are really at the high spectrum of functioning. My guess is that the gulf between the author and people with autism who are less functional is greater than between a "neurotypical" and the author.

Neurotypical and autism isn't binary. It is a spectrum and even within autism, there is a huge spectrum. The author speaking on behalf of all people with autism seems not that much different than "neurotypical" people speaking on behalf of people with autism.
LastPass says no passwords compromised in latest security scare
> 3. He is an accomplished skydiver flying a controllable skydiving chute (not an emergency chute). He could have put that chute down wherever he chose, but instead of landing on clear flat terrain (in the riverbed) he chose to land in the brush on the mountainside. That was either the most incredibly stupid decision anyone has ever made in an emergency situation, or part of a deliberate plan. I don't see any other possibilities.

Yeah, this one seemed really silly. There is even a large open field at 5:36 pretty close to where he chose to "crash" land. Maybe not completely level, but as you said, many other options.

Sure. Considering many CMSes are sucessfully doing “flat file” instead of database. Sqlite can for sure do that as well or better.
How did this work exactly?

Suppose you are able to inject and execute remote code into the process containing your password in a text field

How did you read the password out of it? Did you know that the password variable was stored at some particular memory location?
Another licensed pilot here (but not a skydiver).

I would have attempted a controlled crash over gentle mountainous terrain like this. You want to dump the aircraft's kinetic energy rapidly but not suddenly -- gliding into the side of a cliff will kill you, but keeping the airplane pointed forward while shearing off the wheels and crumpling the nose is fine. It looked like there were several areas where this would have been relatively safe to attempt. You don't need a nice flat field for a survivable crash.

After you're on the ground, you also need to be able to survive (possibly for days), and then be visible enough to be found and rescued. Staying with the aircraft is usually considered the safer approach, both for visibility as well as the emergency gear that you're supposed to be carrying in the back.

The only terrain where I'd seriously consider bailing out (assuming I had a parachute) is dense forest with no clearings. Surviving a crash like this is incredibly difficult -- you hit a redwood, shear off your wings, and then plummet 250 ft to your death. It'll be hard to spot the wreckage of a small plane from above. Even with a parachute, there's a serious risk of getting stuck in a tree (or impaled by branches). There are basically no good options here.

In short, mountains aren't so bad. But be super careful flying over forests. If this video was a stunt, there's a reason why he decided to stage it over mountains rather than a forest.

I was able to answer one question on my first reading of the questions, and a further 3 after going directly to the relevant Wikipedia page. Many others can be answered with some skilled use of Wikipedia/Google.

Of section 1, 1.2 and presumably 1.7 are British. The others are European, except 1.8 which I think is American.

I think section 2 has a Baltic theme. (This is as far as I've gone in detail.)

Section 8 appears to be science (perhaps nature), section 12 medicine.

There are plenty of questions on events or people in Europe-but-not-Britain, but I'd struggle to call them "general" knowledge. Specialist knowledge on an extremely wide range of topics, perhaps.
Databases in 2021: A Year in Review
If the Democrats were 50% Left then Bernie would be president right now. I would count less than 10 people as real Left wing in the party. The qualifier should be do they actively push for progressive values? Because if they just join the progressive caucus that does not mean anything if they don't actually do anything to promote progressive causes.

Speaking as someone who volunteered for multiple real progressive candidates across the country: The Democratic party leadership absolutely despises the real Left wing of their party. They don't want them but need their votes. They will continue to do everything to undermine them. There is no left party, just a far right corporatist party and a centrist corporatist party. Thats all.
Can't you just impose chained liability?

If I get a robocall, my carrier owes me $100. They can then collect $100 from the peer they got it from, etc.

Could you expand on 4? Are you thinking he deliberately planned the trajectory when he bailed out so he would be able to get footage of the plane beneath him or the footage was manipulated somehow/something else.
> but the 8th grader will be able to tell you that it did not have any alliterations, foreshadowing, or personification.

I don't know what alliteration and personification means and I miss foreshadowing all the time. TIL I'm a 6th grade reader with a master's degree in a computer field. (Basically I'm reading text off screens for ~14 hours per day, doesn't mean I'm necessarily good at it but it's also not as if I'm likely to be barely average at it.)
And how hard it has been to get people to do common sense things like wear a mask or get a vaccine. A sixth grader's brain in an adult's body can't understand why they need to do anything, nor any data we could give them that explains why.

Freedom of choice is an interesting thing to think about. Most people will agree that freedom of choice is a good thing. However the devil is in the details. How about giving people the freedom of choice to own nuclear weapons? Most people would probably disagree with that one. How about having the freedom to own slaves? Again people would probably disagree. But why? Isn’t freedom of choice always good? How about free education and free healthcare? I personally think that it gives people more freedom to choose the kind of life they want. But I have heard “pro freedom” people argue against it because they think it will make people lazy. I myself received a MSc in Computer Science from a top university and it cost me nothing. It didn’t make me or anybody else I knew at University lazy. So I don’t think it is true. However some “pro freedom” people still want to take that freedom away from other people. And the same goes for minimum wage. I have lived in a number of countries with a high minimum wage. And the economies were strong and people worked hard. So a lot of the claims about minimum wage sounds false to me. So perhaps it all comes down to personal experience. If you have seen or been part of something that works well then you obviously know that it works well. And people who haven’t will disagree.

I don't think i've ever seen posix_spawn(3) in a serious project. Maybe on a small embedded system lacking MMU support?
Yes, something like that! Maybe put differently, we all interact with people expecting those interactions to go a certain way. When they don't go as we expected, we often see it as a failing either of the speaker or of the listener; and complicating things, we trade those two roles constantly during any interaction.

The "double empathy problem" simply says that the fault doesn't have to be assigned strictly to one party, just as how it's unproductive to blame the intern who deleted the production database by accident. There's a systemic failing that should be understood instead.

Complicating matters is that folks with a disability are often pathologized, as the article notes, so it's far more likely that any fault will be assigned to them -- by both parties! (Internalized guilt is a hell of its own.)
50% of kids meet the standard. Of those, some meet the standard only due to the efforts of their parents: either direct (teaching their kids after school) or indirect (paying for after-school tuition).

So the % of kids that schools are successfully teaching to read is maybe 30% or 40%.
Alexa suggests 10-year-old put a penny on partially exposed plug
Hrmm. I’d rather do a cash out refi than sell equity in my home. That way in an ever rising market I can participate in 100% of the upside when I sell. But perhaps selling a stake has less fees and it shouldn’t change the mortgage payment and it keeps the payoff timeline in tact. So hmm I guess this makes a bit more sense.

Also what happens if I declare bankruptcy: would I be forced to pay this equity portion out? Could they force a sale if the price of the home falls?
Great article. I especially loved the parts about presenting, greying out the boring stuff makes a ton of sense.

The attempt to transform autistic people into a marginalized identity group is incredibly off-putting.

The point of the article is for the author to assert his authority based on nothing but his proclaimed identity. He gets to lecture us (or "journalists") about the "right way" to think and write about his identity group. What could be more "neurotypical" than this kind of power game? Also some new tortured neologisms are introduced ("neuroqueerness").
Something grumble something… can’t believe we still have to explain this… grumble
Don't forget that what is considered centrist has shifted over time. Hell even giving fair and equal civil rights to all peoples was a radical leftist idea not too long ago. Before the civil rights act passed the country was very much in favor of a lot of the "far left" ideas being proposed today.

A lot of that is self-imposed; fraudulent H1B applications (it's for specialty occupations, some low level QA position does not qualify) from shady bodyshops are backloging the system. Thankfully, the previous administration started issuing more RFEs and we might see the backlog getting better.
> Future languages must address all three.

I think it's also okay to address memory corruption using tooling (like how sel4 proof checks c), the language might not have to address it, but it would be nice for the language to make it easy to address.
Also logic is easier for humans to parse with everyone (the writer and the reader) helping to filter out distracting emotional cruft.
Private pilot here. Posting this because I haven't the regulation mentioned, and because several folks have made it sound like bailing out of a still-flyable airplane isn't against regulation.

Among the several other regs that the FAA will eventually cite when they pull his ticket (hopefully forever), 14 CFR 91.119 paragraph (a) is compelling here IMHO. (asterisks around my emphasis):

§ 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.

Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:

(a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing *without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface*.
For the extremely specific use case of "almost everything" and the users "most everyone, maybe at the right price point", yeah.

I believe the issue was high voltages induced by solar flares, which arced across the bearing races, putting them and leading to gradually increasing friction.

I’ll have to go over it again to find out what the solution is.

Interesting though early on NASA had JPL do lots of work to resolve the high failure rate of satellites, I believe this being done to electrical connections etc needing to be far more robust for launch.

Of course all of this is very much undefined behavior in standard C and C++. Some programmers really need to learn that they program the "abstract machine" when they write C or C++.
I expect Disney’s trademark on Winnie the Pooh’s likeness will remain intact and be effective at stopping the distribution of any Winnie the Pooh images other than maybe faithful reproductions of the specific images in the first book. Trademark is all about avoiding confusion and outright fraud in the marketplace.

For some context: there is an unfortunate phenomenon where discussions between parents of autistic children and adult autistics tend to turn very acrimonious. I am a parent of a child with, for lack of a better term, "severe" autism, but I hope I can provide a respectful viewpoint.

One of the thoughts that gives me the most anxiety is who will take care of my son when I'm gone. Who will make sure his needs are being met and that he's not being abused, or hurting himself. The unfortunate reality is that services for people like my son are desperately missing. It's very easy for politicians to cut funding for services even as the need for them quickly grows. It's discriminatory.

As a parent, I feel a deep responsibility to advocate for increasing these services, for doing everything I can to hold the decision makers to account. And so I will unapologetically fight for my son until my last breath. And I also understand and care about the need to be respectful. But the reality is that, the careful language advocated for here is at odds with trying to clearly convey how dire the situation is for people like my son to people who don't have experience in this area. Also, these public forums often devolve into infighting, muddying the message even more.
This seems false. The linked article that Wikipedia cites Forbes attributes that claim to the Department of Education, but doesn’t point to a specific report. The linked article does talk about a specific reading comprehension test called the PIACC, but that’s not the same as reading levels.
As binwiederhier said 'it is what it is' with proprietary platforms. However, you can still avoid going through Google now for the apps that do already support UnifiedPush

Additionally, supporting UnifiedPush (code and adoption by app devs) is supporting:

1. Non-google app stores (e.g. F-Droid with it's great selection of FOSS apps)

2. Google-free distributions of Android

3. Linux phones

The above amount to a small but non-trivial community, but imho supporting (or participating in) them ethically is something I like.
It would look like complete loss of credibility for the US as a country to look up to(and the consequences that go with that). Our hero is in another castle.
They're not passwords because you're not providing the thing you know directly. You each have half of a shared secret and use it to make the math add up.

I like that the apple watch really doesn't really beg for upgrades. I usually upgrade my phone on a two year cycle. The current cycle is the first time I've skipped that, because I'm not doing anywhere enough to justify it. But pretty much as soon as vacations become a thing again, I'll use it as an excuse to justify This Years Camera.

That's an expensive habit. I don't want my watch to turn into another. I ran the series0 until it stopped getting updates, now I have the 4, and when it stops getting updates I'll upgrade. 5 years feels about right. It's enough that the cost is amortised and the upgrade is notable. It's not so fast that I feel like I'm being milked.

(Yes, I realise "go easy on him, he just bought a laptop" probably isn't Apple's business plan for the watch. Just saying .. I'm not complaining. This is a comfortable cadence.)
Ask HN: Are Open Jam Sessions a Thing in USA Cities?
I’m an American, I’ve been living abroad for three years. In that time I’ve discovered a love of playing music, and I’ve gotten decent at it. In the city I live in, people get together at different bars multiple times per week to jam for a few hours. It’s awesome.

I never played music in the USA before I left, so I never looked for this before. Do people do that in America? Are there any cities where people do it a lot? Are they welcoming to new musicians?
