Of course I know what it is, because I took my perfectly legal DVD of a film that I spent money on a few years ago and popped it in my player, and it forced me to watch it.

I then went onto piratebay to get a copy of the film without it.

It's ridiculous showing such an advert to people who have already given you money, I have no idea what was going through their heads.

(It's been many years since I bought a DVD. I stopped buying family guy seasons because of that type of behaviour. Yes I could rip the dvd and remove it, but then that's illegal, so I may as well go the whole hog.
I got into Rust by working on Advent of Code 2021. The problems seem arbitrary, repetitive and sometimes unnecessarily hard. But they are well-designed for starting on a new language. We are forced to repeatedly use basic concepts of a language, so that is useful to get a few reps in on a new language. We are also forced to build utils that can be used a few times.

And if you challenge yourself to solve the problem as quickly as possible so as to see where the story leads, you can stay motivated to work thru the problems. Helps if you have a friendly competition going with a few friends.
My favorite is when people suggest you behave based on context such as the person's emotional state, voice inflection, etc. It's like, "If I could do that, I wouldn't have this insane matrix of rules."
But what's actual difference between God and concept of God?

This is rethorical question, 'cause there is no easy answer, and yet my original statement is valid.

In this case god-hating atheists confirm the existence of god in the form of 'concept' you may say.
>>>Build/deployment dashboards for everyone to see. If you break the build your name is shown as a shame factor etc. Many years ago when I was young and dumb and at a startup, you had to take a shot and run a mile if you break the build. Worked wonders to keep things stable.

What?
Is it an artifact of the transcriptions that Pfizer is replaced with "fighter?" It is really distracting.
Hint: Rust will not be replacing C++. C++ and Rust will coexist indefinitely. At some point in the future, it is possible that more Rust coders will be using it daily in their work than the number who pick up C++ for the first time in any given week, who will go on to use it professionally. Or, that might not happen, and Rust will join Ada and so many other languages that never got their miracle.

Even if Zig doesn't fizzle like the overwhelming majority of languages, it won't replace, or displace, C, never mind C++. Everybody willing to move on from C already did a long time ago. People still using C today like it for its failings, so a language that fixes them is exactly what they don't want. It doesn't give C++ users any of the things they need.

The only real advance in systems languages in the last 50 years is the destructor, so it is frankly weird to find a new language without it. The Drop trait is all that makes Rust a viable prospect for its own miracle.
> You can add new versions of existing records, but never change or delete records. This lets you store critical data without fear of it being tampered.

This is game changing. Use it for say a secondary data store for high value audit logs. I'll consider using it in the future.
If a headline like "A Japanese wanderer who found the soul of France" seems strange to western folks then this headline is just a mirror of same absurdity.
You have to take into account that it was originally scheduled to launch in 2007, then in 2014. Development began as early as 1996.
> By that logic, Jeff Bezos would be an amazing human being. I believe we can agree he isn't.

You know what a proxy is. Please don't straw-man it's against the guidelines and not very interesting besides. One can always pick out individual exceptions. "My grandfather smoked two packs a day his whole life and never got lung cancer," doesn't refute that smoking is correlated with lung cancer.

> That's not charitable

Your highest obligations of charity are to yourself, your spouse, and your children. Once those obligations are met I agree that it's good to donate to your wider community. It's uncharitable to neglect your family for the dopamine hit of virtue signaling.

> least privileged schools in your city/county/state

It's observably true that poor school quality in the USA isn't due to a lack of funding. California's school system is proof.

> Evidently you confuse equality of opportunities (which I do support) with equality of outcomes (which I don't). Overall, the more unequal a society gets, the less democratic it becomes.

I don't confuse them, I consider them both equally impossible. Equality of opportunity is impossible because in large part one's opportunities are the result of the decisions one's parents made, beginning with choosing to procreate together. It's a heresy against the tabula rasa dogma to say so, and yet it moves.

As for a society being more or less democratic, that's a grave oversimplification. First, there are no extant democracies. We have constitutional monarchies, federal republics, and so on. Second, the extent to which democratic decision making is beneficial is very much a consequence of scale and locality. It makes sense for the citizens of a county to popularly elect the Sheriff that will police them. Paradoxically, a larger pool of electors is actually less democratic. If the citizens of the entire country voted on who was to be sheriff for the county, then the citizens of that county effectively have no vote at all over their own affairs.
COBOL was well-suited to poorly-paid programmers. In IBM shops -- and inside IBM -- programming was viewed as a clerical occupation and was compensated accordingly.
I've grown used to the idea that generics (data structure macros, C++ templates...) aren't that useful. If I find myself in a situation where I'm thinking of a solution that involves generics, I stop and ponder what is actually the essence of the repeated stuff. It rarely is on the syntactic level, often it runs deeper. Probably the commonalities can be distilled into a data structure.

Simple example: Intrusive linking headers (e.g. Linux kernel list.h). While those can benefit from an optional very very thin generics layer on top, essentially the code for linking e.g. nodes in a tree should be the same regardless of the data structure where the headers are embedded.

Getting this right simplifies the code but can also speed up compile times.
Detour where? Benchmark-driven, commodity, general-purpose computing instead of niche, application-specific, optimized hardware?
I’ve made an $8000 purchase on a credit card. You can do much more with a quick call.

I’ve even made a $25,000 purchase that I was reimbursed for.
I'm curious; do you believe that your subjective experience of God's love to be objective evidence for the existence of God, and thus you made a scientific observation that God must exist and therefore believe in him? Or is it more that your experience touching the divine had such a positive effect on your life that you simply decided to continue cultivating that experience? Or maybe a bit of both?
I feel like I sympathize with a lot of the various JavaScript rants in a way … but I’m not convinced that many of the blogs about it (that now feel like years old spam) are actually practicing what they preach or have ever waved the magic wand they want to exist.

I’ve yet to see a real guide from someone building an even moderately complex site and moving away from these terrible frameworks and “unnecessary JS”.

In the end most of these boil down to “I wish other people would build their sites the way I want them to” without much consideration of how / why a site is the way it is in the first place.
There is no need to act offended, if I am mistaken so is every encyclopedia on the web. Svadharma is defined as duty towards your place in the caste system, I'm pretty sure castes play an important role in the Vedas but I has been a while.

Presumably there's something incompatible with how the Spotify client plays audio and how his system handles audio playback. His point still stands though - with MP3s he can use an alternative player, with Spotify he can't.
About 20x more expensive at 1/3 the speed vs commercial jet; 40x more expensive at 2x the speed of a car.[1][2][3] Car has 10x the range between refuelings and can stop at almost any building. This will presumably be limited to heliports, of which there are presently ~ 6,000 in the U.S.[4]

It's really a quieter / more comfortable helicopter. Helicopters have seen limited use. Will lower noise change that?

Edit: The dominant cost factor across modalities seems to be seats per pilot. It's infinite for cars modulo parking; in the hundreds for commercial jets; dozens for busses; single digits for taxis and small aircraft. Of course it's always been understood that ridesharing needs autonomy to be truly profitable, and from the slides it seems Joby acknowledge this as well. Autonomy may be easier in the sky...

>I am saying there is only one legal precedent for Freedom of Speech, at least where I live.

That's not what you said though. This is:

>Freedom of Speech does nothing for you outside of the government...

Again, where did you learn this? I've asked everyone who says it and they never answer. I'd love to learn the source of this horrible misconception so I can do something about it.

>I don't think these platforms ever mention they are trying to protect freedom of speech, so why would you expect them to?

Reddit did, repeatedly. Then pulled a bait & switch:

>We want to democratize the traditional model by giving editorial control to the people who use the site, not those who run it.

>We've always benefited from a policy of not censoring content

— u/kn0thing 2008

— u/kn0thing 2012

>We will tirelessly defend the right to freely share information on reddit in any way we can, even if it is offensive or discusses something that may be illegal.

— u/reddit 2012

>We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it. Not because that's the law in the United States - because as many people have pointed out, privately-owned forums are under no obligation to uphold it - but because we believe in that ideal independently, and that's what we want to promote on our platform. We are clarifying that now because in the past it wasn't clear, and (to be honest) in the past we were not completely independent and there were other pressures acting on reddit. Now it's just reddit, and we serve the community, we serve the ideals of free speech, and we hope to ultimately be a universal platform for human discourse (cat pictures are a form of discourse).

Sounds aweful. Have you managed to find a diet that avoids the need for sucrase for every meal?
I think there needs to be a distinction between something that a project "publishes", and something that is "made available".

Something published has been checked by a few team members, written with care, and represents the opinion of the authors and project.

Something made available has no guarantees of correctness, might not represent the projects opinion, and might just be random matlab scripts made by a JWST scientist in their lunchtime that they thought was fun.

In the open source world, what is 'published' is probably the projects homepage, and code. What is 'made available' is random chatter on their discord or IRC channel.

I hope that more government projects 'make available' everything done by all the workers - every file saved on every PC, with the understanding that there is no guarantee of correctness.

I guess it's the same idea as being able to see into the kitchen from a restaurant. You might see the chef making mistakes or juggling the saucepans, but you'll also see the work being done as it's done, and being able to view doesn't delay the chefs work.
Sounds like a cool job. Where do I sign up?
Yes, please provide a source! Based on this [0], with the High-Gain antenna (Ka-band), they can do 3.5 Mbyte/sec (28 Mbit/sec), which is about 295 Gbyte/day. Even if only assuming 16 hours/downlink/day, that is ~200 Gbytes/day. Also, with the S-Band Medium gain antenna, JWST is capable of accomplishing true duplex communication, which means they can uplink on the S-band and simultaneously downlink on Ka-band.

For reference, MRO is capable of downlinking at up to 5 Gbit/sec with a 3.0-meter HGA [1].

I don’t mean to denigrate the VCV team, who do amazing work. I love everything but the UI, but I also understand it’s the UI they wanted. But even as a kid I couldn’t wait for patch cords to be replaced.
As a product designer, I am and have long been looking for a company that will enable—hell, allow—me to design software that employs system standards. I can’t imagine I’m the only one.

Problem is, most leadership doesn’t care about usability unless it affects marketability, which is less and less likely as people (users) become more comfortable with and accustomed to hopping between needlessly proprietary workflows and abstraction of crucial processes.* Often (usually?) designers also don’t, to be sure, but those like myself who do care are, like devs, up against unreasonable speed demands and interruptions that make it difficult to do our best, most thoughtful work. And though it may seem like design is higher up the totem pole, perhaps because it’s usually upriver from dev, in my experience, most companies see designers as whiny graphics monkeys, just as they may see devs as whiny code monkeys.+

It’s significantly more difficult and time-consuming to design novel functions and flows that conform to or complement existing standards than it is to draft a new system that need only make internal sense and may wantonly disregard the environment around it. This is why people like Electron, right? This is why people liked the internal combustion engine.

* I’d like to see a study on how this kind of acontextualization of work tasks might exacerbate burnout.

+ How many companies are actually defined by great design these days (versus, say, great functionality)? Not even Apple seems to care about that anymore, as they seem eager outpace their software with their hardware, rather than creating any iconic or lasting designs. As “product design” has evolved to include software products, the discipline and its output have become just as mutable, and therefor disposable, and therefor ‘not worth’ the effort necessary to make good things, let alone great things.
Remember that oculus started out on Kickstarter, too. They were sold to Facebook shortly after and are now a privacy nightmare. What a waste of crowd-sourced funds to fill the pockets of a greedy founder.

I won't support any crowdfunding projects after that.
Probably because they are a human and still subject to human constructs like morality?

Why bother obeying the speed limit if speed limits are just human constructs and you won't go to hell for breaking it?
That just seems completely incorrect. Most people in my life are atheists and not nihilists, and the few exceptions are all religious rather than nihilists.
I strongly disbelieve that I'm a murderer. I have no memory of committing homicide, and I would vigorously defend myself were I to be accused of such. Is that a religious belief, too?
Oops, I could have reworded that paragraph to be clearer. Yeah, the check giver can't do much, but as the other commenters point out, the receiver of funds doesn't need to give out the numbers.
Rad, i'll look into this "headless path". I like trying to expand the fuzzy cloud while meditating sometimes which sounds like it's along those lines.
Have you found/tried any?
I practice Seon Buddhism but don't consider myself a religious person. To me, the essence of Buddhism is seeing the world with clarity. And when you see the world with clarity, you realize there's no reason to live life of greed, hatred, and suffering. I view that this is what Jesus preached as well.

I believe an increasing number of people in developed parts of the world are turning away from religious institutions because many of these institutions have stopped helping people live happily. I sincerely hope to see more people trying to re-discover the old teachings. For me, Buddhism was immensely eye-opening and it definitely gives me tons of inspirations.
I looked at the job description. What is toxic about it? And what does your taste in music have to do with it?

It's not in my line but if it was, I would at least talk to them. Why not?
The reality is that the education you're talking about is never going to happen. By the time you had 80% of devs knowing how to do a11y on JS framework #271, a whole new paradigm would have come in. It's because accessibility is not a priority that accessible defaults, which almost definitionally need to be system- or browser-based, are so important.

If you make a form with HTML and style it with CSS, then you're 85% of the way there with accessibility, and chances are it will be usable if you screw the rest up. With JS, even if you're working from a checklist, you're much more likely to get somethign wrong. And then there are regressions. I kind of believe
that you know what you're doing, because the kinds of people that hang out on HN often do. But will your second-generation successor, four years from now, know how to update your work without breaking accessibility? Empirically, based on the low level of accessibility on the web (improving, but still pretty tough going), I'd say "no."

That explanation doesn't really make sense, and a different one[1] appears in the paper itself. People who lack the enzymes to digest a sugar experience gastrointestinal distress because bacteria in the lower GI tract eat the sugar that wouldn't otherwise make it to them, producing gas in the process.

[1]>This discrepancy between adults and children, may be due to the maturation and growth of the small intestine, increasing the capacity to absorb luminal fluid with increasing age, and to dietary adaptation caused by symptoms in childhood.
>That's why trade agreements are usually negotiated in secret

The last deal I saw negotiated in secret and then leaked (TPP) ended up being a corporate wishlist that benefitted nobody except large companies.

The most absurd part was that it was more about extending copyright and setting up extra-judicial courts than dropping tarriffs yet they still called it a "free trade deal".

Fortunate that it was leaked otherwise this abortion of a deal would have passed.
Did you read the same comment that I wrote? The very first thing I mentioned is a flag to turn on checking for this. And I mentioned the behavior for unsigned arithmetic is defined, but then I immediately mentioned that this behavior is probably not what you want and that other languages are adopting it is kind of sad.
I'm going thru Bernardo Kastrup's site now. Thank you.
It's not just Firefox though, if you're running Chrome on Windows or Mac, you get the same 720p as Firefox.

The only way to get Netflix in high def (1080p and 4k) from a web browser is to use a browser that is made by the same company as the OS it's running on.

e.g.:

- Microsoft Edge running on Windows 10 or 11 (if running Edge on some other OS, output will cap at 720p)

- Chrome running on Chrome OS (if running Chrome on some other OS, output will cap at 720p)

- Safari running on MacOS

In any scenario not listed above, Netflix serves a max of 720p.

One in three women dying in childbirth used to be a "natural" thing too, doesn't mean that we should give up modern medical care.
I agree with the early episodes being very good. I’ve put quite a lot of learnings into action after listening to those. (Especially the episodes on sleep).

The biggest takeaway was understanding the impact of body temperature on circadian rhythms. I’d known about the impact of light before (but he had a lot more information to share on that too which I hadn’t previously heard), but the body temperature stuff was completely new to me and fascinating.

I can’t vouch for the later episodes as I haven’t listened for a while…
Thank you for your comment.

Of course I was talking about p2p! You can always savescum in campaign, so why complain at all? :-D

The CES Letter is an excellent jumping-off point.
It really depends on the functionality and performance you want. Given the price range the performance side will be on the low end.

I would recommend moving up your price-point (if at all possible) and buy something slightly more capable that will last, potentially, longer.

Protectli [0] and Qotom [1] are popular among the OPNsense[2] / PFsense[3] / Untangle[4] firewall distros with respect to small form factor devices.

If all you want is a cheap "router" with a bare bones feature set for Internet edge routing I'd recommend a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X [5]. At $59 it's the best piece of hardware you're likely to get for the money with total control and less big-brother.

If you can't find one email me at my HN username at counterbrea dot ch. I have a few different unused EdgeRouters I could send you for the cost of shipping.

I think I read (on an Amazon review for a specific LG blu-ray product) that updates to the firmware of new devices happened in 2016 and no longer allowed reading 4K commercial films from that medium. I'd have to try and see how to do it today.
So you believe in little green men instead of little blue ones and that makes you an atheist?

If you see the experience as nothing more than a dream then that’s what it will become.

If you see it as something at least as real as this waking reality then the experience has impact.

Without belief in it, your experiences are meaningless. You will learn very little from them.

They are invitations that you have outwardly rejected in labeling yourself an atheist.

Atheists would take a research paper as truth over their own direct experience. They hold Science as most dear and most important and they label faith and beliefs and spiritual experiences as make believe or pretend fantasy.
