> You can't have nice things because you aggressively criminalized the white hats

voakbasda even proposed giving a bounty. Is defacing a website and spearfishing the users (as is claimed higher up in the thread) needed for white hats to do their thing? I'm surprised that we aren't all in agreement that this isn't at least grey hat behavior.
I had an ingeniously evil thought in that regard, that if you don't like somebody, and you have money to spend, you could anonymously buy a few items of low-quality on Amazon to the person's address and name as gifts.

Most people, even relatively well-off ones will keep free stuff. And will be in pain either because they will actually continue using it, and get annoyed by its low quality, or stop using it, but leave it around as junk because of the instinct to hoard.
So the store owner can just leave all his customers’ credit card information lying around and ignore PCI compliance etc. because anyone who would possibly use it for nefarious purposes is a criminal?

How would you prevent such negligence
Yeah, my concern is people in the real world. If you can "magically" join on a foreign key and leave the table name out, or still call the thing anything you want, some smart ass will abuse the live crap out of it and I'll somehow be left to deal with it.

I like things to be explicit. Tell me what you're joining and how you want to join it. What is the use case for this? Other than saving some typing, and let's face it, sometimes a little extra typing now, will save you a lot of trouble later. The proposal claims: "The idea is to improve the SQL language", but is it really better?
> larger proportion of the part that disappears every year becomes better off than worse off

I would hardly disagree with that statement.

Larger portion of the middle class gets downgraded not upgraded.

Some parts of their life get better due to advancements we make in science, but all other aspects are worse and worse.

An example can be “property ownership” - the amount of ppl that own property and are part of the middle class is decreasing year over year in developed countries.

We are slowly getting to the point where we can consider our grandparents or parents as millionairs in current standards.

Global inflation slowly kills middle class and no - ppl are not having it better in aspects that actually matter in long term. We are at crisis now.
Was also expecting this to be about an absurdly over-populated menu, though if enough people act on the author's suggestions we might attain that goal.
To add to this, a lot of times expungement isn't very useful because there are a ton of private companies that scrape these records (including arrest records) constantly. Some of these companies have business models built around conducting background checks and an unfortunate number of them have business models that rely solely on getting people to pay them to "remove" these records.
17 U.S. Code § 117 means any copying of the program from disk into memory (for example) is not a copyright breach, therefore you do not need to agree to a license like the GPL to run a copyrighted program, only to create additional copies.

Therefore any term saying

"You acknowledge that the Program is not designed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility"

Would be completely meaningless as you wouldn't have to agree to it to run the software.
Is it just nicotine?

I was shocked to read that nicotine isn't associated with cancer deaths in cigarette smoking, I don't recall if there is a heart disease link.

It's all the other crap in cigarettes.

I guess it is hard to run studies because nicotine is as addictive as heroin.
Could we not check for the type of antibodies just like we do with covid?

> if you talk about certain data which is considered "bad", like crime statistics, your post will be shadowbanned

Utter nonsense. Seriously. This is pure claptrap. I've seen so many instances where posters here have brought up "crime statistics" in the context of race or claimed that left-leaning cities are unlivable crime-ridden hellholes, and none where such posts were "shadowbanned".
> Isn't religion supposed to be a deeply personal thing, not necessarily tied to some earthly institution or organization?

You are asking the wrong guy, but I'd note that the person I was responding to mentioned sin. That implies some things about which religions he was including, and membership in those religions implies some other things about obedience to religious authority and so on. If you're in the clear with the Catholics and the Baptists when it comes to sinning, that covers a lot of ideological ground.

> What if I sincerely believe that complete and total bodily autonomy is a God-given right but I'm not a member of a church who shares my views, are my beliefs invalid?

As I implied in my other comment, I do think there's a distinction to be drawn between religion and personal preference. I don't have a really deep take on this, but I'd note that it wouldn't be the first time the law had to take these things into account. I do not know that much about this stuff, but I think being a member of a group (even the Scientologists!) helps if you want your beliefs recognized as religious beliefs. A problem prophets and mystics have had to contend with for quite some time, I imagine.

There's many options to buy affordable 3.5" USB floppy drives on Amazon and eBay. However, I haven't been able to find any obvious options to read 5.25" floppy disks on a modern machine.
The issue is authors who spend to much time with a thesaurus rarely actually understand the words their choosing. It’s the difference between an artist painting using charcoal and a child using markers. The second is more colorful, yet crude.

Further writing is about the goal, describing a hallucination using stilted language for example can actually make things more vivid. Todd opened the curtains and the room got brighter. Was the room illuminated by the sun, moon, streetlights, or did the walls suddenly glow? We don’t know as things have been abstracted to show effects rather than a clear causal chain. The important bit is to be making stylistic choices not simply imitating competence and hoping nobody noticed the difference.
> If it's legislators serving the interests of their constituents directly and thus get re-elected, that is one thing. However often legislators make these decisions to serve corporate lobbyists (such as Intuit's) and are working against the interests of their constituents so they can raise money from corporate doners to get reelected.

I actually think we’ve found some common ground here. It’s pretty wack that corporate interests can create detrimental effects on society. But realize that corporations are ALSO the representatives constituents! I wish the world didn’t work this way, but it does.

So since societal governance works this way, I’m sticking to my guns and still argue that accounting departments provide actual value.

Colleges and schools in general are also very unforgiving of sick time, compared to work.

If you miss a week or two of a difficult class, you may not be able to make up for that lost time in order to pass. With some classes only being offered at specific quarters/semesters and many being impacted, a single failed or dropped class can put you a year behind graduation, assuming you can pay for it. If a professor or teaching assistants gets sick, it would have pretty significant impacts for a larger number of students.
So, a Chromium webview with some custom menus? Cool, cool, cool...
I would mostly agree, the thing I try to understand is the motivations for working with these ODMs.

There's sort of the line of business. Just assuming from a black box, Apple wants to build devices in these low-cost countries. Is it a competitive advantage to do this themselves? Do they have the skillset and wherewithal to do it well? They design chips, but they have TSMC make them, because among other things, there's much more to being a fab that bluntly, I think apple is not equipped for.
Similarly, I think, design the products, figure out processes, then get them from the companies that spend all their time coordinating and building the stuff at a global scale.

Not to exculpate Foxconn, this is not the first time there's been stories like this of Indian facilities of Taiwan ODMs. And usually the first thing that gets pointed out, is that the ODM is itself using local contractors. So the reality is, where does the buck actually stop? The big question I have, is how would apple do this themselves? Is it that Foxconn has not quite figured out how to operate in India effectively, or is there some implicit outsourcing of misery to the next sub-contractor?

I assume apple also works with everyone else who has the scale to build iPhones like Wistron and Flex, but apple already similarly put one of Wistron's Indian factories on probation after a riot due to unpaid wages(?). I want to say they were mainly doing macbooks and ipads?

My understanding was one of the things is that the ODM books all the components and sort of capital for building things, so there's some capital structure things that I probably don't fully appreciate. No guarantee that's correct though...

There are at least two reasons not to treat Corona outbreaks at schools like cold or flu outbreaks, and TBH even during a flu outbreak, it's reasonable to expect people to get vaccinated, even if it's not required like other vaccines. In some cultures, it's even expected that if you're at all sick, even with the common cold, you'll wear a mask to protect others as well, but I get that that's not the norm in the US or around Stanford.

First, there's not just healthy "college-aged" students on campus. With that in mind, there's a risk that area hospitals could get overloaded with patients. You don't want the hospital to be full when there's a car accident or someone needs their stomach pumped, someone suspects they might have an STD, or whatever. Requiring a booster mitigates that risk as it lessens the symptoms to the point where hospitalization is shorter/unlikely.

Second, there's a chance for a mutation each time the virus spreads from one person to another. For that reason, you don't want it ripping through everyone.
I think this is the key insight. The old way makes selection a first class citizen of the windowing environment. If you view it not as copying, but taking advantage of the last selection, it makes a whole lot more sense.

This is not to say that explicit actions on the clipboard aren't useful. But, as an emacs user, I'm used to way more control over the kill ring than I typically see exercised on the clipboard.
Starting around the renaissance, we kind of had “open source fairies” in the form of research grants, professorships and other forms of patronage. If you look at 19th century scientists, it seems like most the famous ones weren’t paid to do specific research, but instead we’re given space to do whatever research they could.

This has gotten more and more restrictive: even in academia today, it seems rare for open ended grants to be given, and even when there are, there’s a lot more competition for those grants than we can sustain with current funding.

Open ended research doesn’t necessarily work in a pure market system. And most open ended research probably won’t provide any concrete monetary benefit to the person funding that research. Even Bell Labs wasn’t really self-funding despite having developed some of the underpinnings of our modern economy. This is an (if not totally compelling) argument for a basic income: anyone can focus on fundamental research without worrying about covering life’s fundamentals, so long as they’re OK living a bare bones life while they can’t get outside funding for it.
How much more would it cost to manufacture iPhones in the US?
They should be able to explain why so many people received the email though. Was there a fault in the notification system or not? Are they going to send messages to the individuals which received the notification in error?

I get that direct evidence of a leak is difficult. However, a sudden surge of master passwords being known by third parties in uncorrelated accounts is a very good evidence that something happened. If that's not what happened, then what happened exactly? Was it really a bug in the notification system? Do they have evidence that the password used in the blocked login attempts weren't really the actual master password?

There is a lot of things they can do to show they are on top of things.
It's illegal to keep personal data of users without either legitimate interest or a direct agreement, that's completely clear under the DSGVO. If the operational logs are needed to fulfill the contract with the user then sure, the provider can keep them (for as short as possible), otherwise not. Days? I highly doubt it.

The Vorratsdatenspeicherung counteracted that principle, if it falls away storing this data gets really complicated.
A brutal trip down memory lane
You know, you can just write GROUP BY x, y, ...

SELECT t.i+1, count(*) FROM table t GROUP BY 1

1 in this context means the first selected item (i.e. t.i+1). I know this works in PostgreSQL.
> those in power eventually become handholds, then footholds, until finally, you're living under a tyrannical system.

I immediately thought about the current US political landscape. I believe this is exactly what we’re seeing with respect to radicalization.
You obviously haven’t read Dune.
While this is only a partial solution, a number of cities throughout the US have adopted or are adopting a model usually called "civilian oversight" in which complaints of misconduct by police officers can be directed to a separate, independent police oversight body. The police oversight body is separated from law enforcement by an administrative firewall and usually restricts any of its staff being former law enforcement officers to further improve separation (common sources of staff are insurance, personnel security, and litigation investigators). While criminal enforcement is a judicial matter and not one of administrative oversight, there's usually a perception that civilian oversight helps to bring information to light that might motivate a DA or other prosecutor to pursue the case.

This is only a half-measure at best but it's something that is gaining traction, and you might be able to push for it in your area.
Reminds me of this I stumbled across for ngrok:

> Can I run my own ngrok server?
> Yes, kind of. You may license a dedicated installation of the ngrok server cluster for commercial use. You provide us with keys to an AWS account and we will install the server cluster software into that account

I have no idea how common this pattern is, but personally, the idea of giving someone else AWS creds that aren't _very_ locked down scares me.
I think the tone of the interview is going to depend heavily on the first impression. A well rounded person with good personal hygiene would make this seem like a fun and weird project. If the person is a total misfit neckbeard, it's going to be less fun and quirky, and more worrying.
Where did I say everybody should be in something like nyc density? Even then, there are plenty of cities (especially outside America) where those safety concerns are virtually nonexistent.

I'm also a compulsive highlighter, but fortunately x11 has distinct concepts between "primary selection" and "clipboard"

middle click is "query for the most recently selected thing and paste" while the clipboard requires an explicit copy action. In vim (even terminal vim) with X support they are the '"' (double quote) and '+' (plus sign) registers respectively. Most other applications let you copy and paste with CUA (or for terminals shift-modified CUA) keybindings.

So for something I plan on pasting longer term (or multiple times) I will typically use the clipboard. For quick "this thing needs to go here" with the mouse I use the primary selection.

I also agree that middle-click is nearly useless on a scrollwheel. Many mice have more than two buttons these days so you can always remap a function button though (as I mention in another thread, my trackball actually has 3 legit full-size top buttons, but prior to that I remapped the "browser forward" button to be middle).
>"But the risk for children getting sick at school and bringing it back to their parents very much not does not play out like the flu."

I don't think this is true, and I'd be interested to see data that backs up that claim. On that topic, here's a thoughtful article that dives into claims like that:

I'm a small PostgreSQL contributor since 2010 myself. I probably can't write the whole patch myself, but if there is enough interest, and if we can work out the details and address the problems raised in this thread and elsewhere, I'm pretty confident we can do it. If we ever get there, the next step would be a reference implementation, probably in PostgreSQL, or to discuss a proposal in the SQL committee.

> Not against omicron, it basically ignores vaccines. Vaccinated people might be a bit less serious, but they still get ill and we have had many super spreader events among vaccinated populations where almost everyone exposed got it.

Omicron increases vaccine escape rates from about 5% to 30% which is bad, but not ignoring vaccines.

Someone - a particular political party - is attacking the free press and freedom generally. The only answer is to be heard, loudly, and vote them out of office. The cavalry isn't coming - nobody will save us but us.

It's not a partisan statement. I'm not saying it to favor one party or another (though unavoidably the other party would benefit - we'd be better off with multiple parties committed to democracy). We agree on freedom and democracy for all, we stand up for it, we give our 'lives, honor, and fortune' for it, or we are not the United States.

EDIT: I reworded it to remove political party names, to try to reduce any appearance of partisanship.

Show HN: Open-Source “Housekeeping for Clouds” for SREs
You cannot append to a std::span, or append to a vector-backed span through the span. You have to perform the append on the underlying vector. It is possible to perform an insertion into the middle of a std::vector through std::vector::insert.

If you can establish the precondition that the underlying vector will not re-allocate as a result of the append, then it is perfectly safe to perform such an append while holding a reference to one or more elements of the vector. Same thing for insertions: references to elements before the insertion point may still remain valid if you can establish the precondition that the vector will not be resized. In both cases, it is straightforward to establish the precondition through the reserve() member plus some foreknowledge of how much extra capacity the algorithm needs.

You can always construct a user-defined reference type which back-doors the borrow checker, such as by storing indexes instead of iterators as you mentioned. If the std.vector is reduced, then they are still just as invalid.
There's a floor on intelligence for most kinds of success. But success constitutes social positioning, and intelligence isn't very directly connected to that.

Being too intelligent seems to be a social disadvantage often and probably success for a lot of people requires hiding their intelligence.
No, modern PAKE protocols work without the server actually knowing the password. The server has a “verifier” that lets them tell whether the client’s response to a given challenge is correct.

Before I owned a car, I thought a “recall” meant “we’re taking it back! This whole thing is a massive disaster. We should never have made this in the first place”. Turns out it means you schedule a fix at your local service center at the manufacturer’s cost.

Now I don’t even know why this is news. My Subaru has had like four or five recalls and now I just have them fixed during routine maintenance.
I like the tool and it's great that it exists - I may try to attach it to a couple projects, small gaps in using mutexes and atomics have been a continual pain in projects handed between teams. The Analysis framework is broadly very successful too, and it's part of why the SSA analysis pass is fairly widely used.

It's more that 1) I don't see how it's a positive thing that much of this logic had to be duplicated externally, and 2) it's definitely not a positive thing that the one and only implementation of this (AFAIK) was built by the same organization that builds the compiler.

For 2, they're certainly in a good position to do so and I'm glad they did (it's very useful), but there being no third party equivalent seems to me like a fairly strong mark against "simplicity" - outsiders didn't figure out how to do this. If it was simple, they probably would have. And done so multiple times by now. Instead, much of the field seems to be waiting on the core team to provide things. That feels more like Rust to me (which I doubt many would claim is "simple"), except they've built an enormous amount of control into the language itself so many tools don't need to be external.
But, the selection buffer is not the same as the clipboard. Is it?

That is, even in the paradigm of middle click to paste the last selection, you still have a clipboard, don't you?
That gives r=1. They want r<=1.
Free software isn’t a gift to its recipients, it’s gift to the commons. It’s an open house, not an embossed invite. The other side has some agency in selecting and evaluating the gift they receive, not least because every package disclaims the lack of warranty, fitness for purpose, etc.
