Yes, and even if it checks for new devices, it should only need to check devices it hasn't already checked.
If it is about upper management you might be right. However if it is about anyone lower then their job is to prevent lawsuits and so they are on your side - this time - because it is the best way to do their job.
The simple answer is that it wasn't needed for udev. It may not have blown up on the dev's machine because their input devices were different. It might be tested less than the udev version. As the other commenter stated it's simpler to just check every 3 seconds instead of adding threading.
> I think your examples support the thesis that we're actually decent at discovering harmful effects, but we don't mind them.

I think it's less that we don't mind them, and more that it unfortunately is a slow process to go from first research realising there's a problem to general scientific consensus to then one or both of public awareness becoming big enough that companies have to respond and stop choosing profit over safety, or government concern needs to become great enough to enforce it through regulation.

I think we're seeing it with plastics at the moment, it seems very likely that in 50 years we'll a) know much more about the harm micro-plastics do and b) look back at now and think "there was enough evidence, why didn't they ban it immediately?" Well, because it's really convenient and cheap, companies don't want to give up profits, people like
me don't want to give up convenient packaging etc, and governments don't want to piss off consumers and businesses at the same time by banning it too fast. Similar story for the climate crisis.
Tezos has the largest grass roots adoption after ethereum for nft art. It’s very under the radar so I’m glad you asked. It has a burgeoning ecosystem and many users on ethereum are aware and have used tezos. As tezos ecosystem evolves, I believe it’s going siphon off a large amount of users from ethereum.
The majority of people here, as well as in the threads from previous years past, seem to vastly overexaggerate all of their predictions, or at the very least they make predictions for 5+ years into the future.

A lot of games will automatically switch between keyboard and gamepad when a gamepad is connected. Perhaps this is some automatic background function that SDL handles.
Not sure that things are that deterministic.
A blockchain is publicly-accessible, append-only database, so again I don't know how an append-only data structure can help you revoke access to some content. Not to mention that Twitter can always choose to not display your tweets unless you grant them a license, regardless of where these tweets are hosted.
He also promised (on the DCS forum) that he would not sell the material and then did so repeatedly to nationals from a variety of countries.
SDL wants to support hotplugging where you can plug a controller in after you have already started the game.

The story is this, to the extent of my understanding: US citizens are free to sell such manuals within the US. The seller refused to send the manual to Oleg on his russian address, so some american guy on a game forum agreed to buy it and resend it to Russia. And in doing so the US espionage law was broken. Dura lex, etc. Had he just scanned the manual and put it anonymously online, all would be ok, I guess.
If you are advanced enough to run Gentoo, you should be able to use Debian and force an install of (or re-compile yourself) a new package of the newer version, working around the fact that the official newer version would otherwise require other new packages.
Almanack of Naval Ravikant – A Guide to Wealth and Happiness
You are absolutely right, I somehow remembered it as the same.

Isn't my comparison totally wrong on all levels?

I compared batteries, which are storage(or "power plants") with the price of the thing the gas power plant uses.

A better comparison would be the cost of battery storage, cost of filling it up, versus building a gas power plant and then producing the same energy.

If I find a good article on that I will link it.
The word "increase" has a clear meaning, and it means that there is more of something than there was before. The word opposite of increase is called "decrease", and Germany's CO2 emissions have decreased since they started switching off nuclear power plants.

Calling a decrease an increase is something I would call playing semantics.
Solar + a few hours of capacity are economical viable to run on a day and night cycle. Each day they charge up, and each day they discharge, with a market price that goes up and down in a similar pattern. This is possible for the southern part of EU, but more so in the southern parts of that (Egypt and below).

Further north and solar get displaced by wind as the primary source of energy, and wind do not have a day cycle. It has weeks/months long period of low and high amount of wind. A battery solution that last hours is just a drop in the supply bucket. At the same time, rather than being discharge (and thus generating profits) each day, a wind battery solution will only generate profits a few times each year depending on how large the capacity is. The only way that will be profitable is if it several order times cheaper than the batteries for solar, or if the cost isn't directly linked to capacity. The technology that Germany and other "wind" countries is constantly talking about here is green hydro, but which is yet to be economical viable.

One alternative is to build massive transmission lines from Africa and use solar power + batteries from the Sahara desert, through there are political, technological, and economical problems over designing such energy grid for EU.

Thus for now the political winds are blowing towards natural gas and wind, despite the ecological issues of burning a fossil fuel.
Any tech that embraces decentralization and user ownership is considered Web3, in my mind. And any website or application that leverages that technology as a first-class citizen is considered to be Web3, in my mind. It does not have to be cryptocurrency related.

That being said, I think EVM-compatible wallet login will be stickier and have broader network effects as there are exclusive services you cannot access without it (unlike OpenId, which is merely an alternative to other logins).

There is also a major economic incentive to build user-friendly wallet experiences (such as Rainbow, Argent, and Dharma mobile apps) as well as browser plug-ins (Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, etc) and hardware devices (Ledger, GridPlus, etc) and I think that ecosystem of competition is going to produce some big UX wins that OpenId will never really be able to compete with.
I also absolutely do not allow myself to learn new things before going to sleep otherwise I will be thinking and dreaming about it in a kind of sick way. This is specially harmful on week days where it disrupts my sleep. Sleep is essential for my well being and professional ability.
Every edition has been incredibly researched, and the stories so well told. I can't wait for the book.

Not too interesting; they disabled the checks[1]. Lot of stuff have happened since then to Ada and SPARK. The Ada they used is quite different to the Ada we have today. SPARK 2014 is a complete re-design of the language, too. Plus, you are responding to a comment specifically talking about Ada/SPARK (SPARK specifically), so not sure how Ariane 5 is relevant.

We already discussed it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20931242 (and probably elsewhere, too).

[1] Today those checks may not even be needed to begin with due to SPARK. GNATprove may have given them "predicate check might fail" or something like that. Read the AdaCore Blog for more.
I hope we restrain ourselves to flagging behavior on HN.

Like many informal groups, it's difficult to judge the composition of the whole when you might be seeing just the actions of the very active few. You'll notice certain topics tend to provoke flagging and downvoting wildly out of proportion with the nature of the comments, and I believe this is because those have particular user interest groups with very ahem strong opinions. You may have also noticed how your comments tend to do quite well when they're new, but somehow pick up a basket of downvotes hours after the post has fallen off the front page. I believe these to be due to a population of generic haters crawling over every post downvoting large numbers of comments.
I tried to search for some routes on Hyperdia. I'd say I still prefer transit.yahoo.co.jp in both results and UI.
You get results you can see and explain. It's might be very important to revamp some library in your build system, but at the end of the day it doesn't do anything you can see, nor is it easy to explain to others.
It is my observation that the time good programmers spend validating (with full or master nodes) on projects designed to be decentralized can win web 3.0 in our favor with protocols that don't plan on selling out for profit.
As someone that learned programming with editors/IDE, it's nice once in a while to go back to more basic methods, think more about the code. This is useful when at work the edit/deploy/test cycle is ~5 minutes.

The linked article is about how NB went out of their way to shut out federal investigators. If it’s environmental, it’s possible the NB government is trying to cover it up.

This is also briefly touched on in this article:

When driving I don't bother to use Siri for anything other than "call <person>" or "text <person>".

The most hilarious example of how bad Siri is for me, is that literally 100% of the time that I'm playing something on Apple TV, if I say "Hey Siri, pause the TV" (or any variation, calling it Apple TV, including the name of the room, etc.) it always replies that there's nothing currently playing. And if I tell Siri on my phone to play on the Apple TV, all it can do is start Apple Music playing a random song on the TV. It can however respond OK to "resume on Apple TV" which restarts whatever I was watching that had been paused.
I can address the point about oil.
We seem to have reached peak oil already so the expectation is for the price of oil to go down.
Prices going up suggest market manipulation by squeezing supply by opec etc.
There are many parallels with dev when shed making. Creating something new, planning, tooling and problem solving. The advantage is getting to move around in the doing.
Europe is small and densely populated. They can't afford to take the risk of having large swaths of land rendered un-inhabitable due to nuclear accidents. If there's one thing the last 60 odd years of nuclear experience has taught us, it is that Human organizations and societies cannot be trusted with maintaining high standards of safety in the long term that is required for fission power plants - even the Japanese who have developed a post-world war reputation for careful engineering and management couldn't manage it. Therefore, fission is simply not suitable for such densely populated countries. Japan and US learned this from failures. Germany smartly learned this from others failings. France will soon change their tune after their turn having a major accident (I sincerely hope they don't, but human fallibility is inevitable).

Now if you have millions of square kilometres of desert or uninhabited wasteland you are willing to sacrifice, sure you can plonk fission reactors there and take risks with the inevitable nuclear accident. US and Canada do have but are unwilling to sacrifice (aka NIMBYism). Russia does have but doesn't really need more nuclear power than it already has for it's fairly small population. China and to a smaller extant India do have such wastelands and the population to need nuclear power. If instead they plonk the new reactors in fertile populated areas, they in their turn will learn the hard way from their own accidents.

Now you can and modern reactors do design for "safe" failure. But frankly why bother when Solar and Wind have become so cheap that virtually no new coal plants are being planned in major economies in the last two years.

If the Tesla vehicle were required to take a standard drivers vision test, would it score the required 20/40 uncorrected vision?

Right now, the camera app on the Tesla will only show the side cameras and the rear camera when actively driving. I’ve wondered, if they showed the front facing camera, would I be able to drive by looking solely at the camera output? Is the resolution sufficient, and the dynamic range sufficient for me to drive safely at all times that I can with my human eyes looking out the window? I suspect not.

And yes, the dynamic range is a huge issue. I’ve had my Tesla discontinue autopilot when driving a curvy mountain road at sunrise/sunset, as the car enters and exits areas with direct sun at a low angle. I’ve wondered how Tesla ever plans to achieve their self driving goals with the currently deployed hardware if it can’t pass that simple test. It wasn’t discontinuing autopilot because the software failed, but the sensors appeared incapable. As a human, the driving situation sucked, but I, and every other driver on this stretch of road at that time, were able to continue driving, with just our eyeballs as input. (I should have forced a camera save, so I could analyze the camera feeds later)

It seems like someone could simply prove there exists these specific real world scenarios, which Tesla cannot and will not be able to solve, in order to launch a class action lawsuit. In theory, Tesla could counter that they’ll provide a camera upgrade to resolve the limitations… and the charade will continue.
There will almost always exist solutions that are greener than natural gas. The practical reason to choose natural gas over those are costs, sacrificing the environment in order to save money.
I grew up with an extremely severe allergy (think ambulance helicopters getting involved), yet my mum is a complete mushroom nerd.. not sure if it was out of ignorance, but she never policed mushrooms anywhere near the way she did other common, possible allergens..

Or maybe she just stuck to easily identifiable as edible mushrooms, like chanterelles, funnel chanterelles, penny buns and hedgehog mushroom..
I needed a distraction this holiday season so I built a basic wood shop in my basement.

I'm not a woodworker, craftsman, artisan, artist, etc. but tinkering in that shop has brought me more joy and peace than I've had in years.

As happy as I've been with some of the work I've produced on a computer it just isn't the same (to me).
Wouldn't it be better to write

and use i-1 inside the loop instead of using underflow?
Issue: Software fails to handle altitude of -400ft or less.

Response: "It's an airplane; it can become a submarine but usually only once and doesn't take off again."

Obviously the solution is to re calibrate our notion that "sea level" is a uniform base of the atmosphere. Its baked in to so many systems as an assumption tho; it might be easier to fill in some valleys instead.

If we plane the earth nice and smooth all over, will we have gentler weather? Or just collect it all into large, static super storms?
> The very notion of "unsigned" was invented by video game programmers at Bell Labs.

PL/I had (has) unsigned integers back in the 60s, picking up the idea from earlier languages. I believe the novel datatype in PL/I was the CHARACTER type; into the 80s I was still programming machines with variable length bytes.

In many ways PL/I heralded the current Ordovician stage of programming languages, with the enormous Cambrian flourishing of hardware-specific (and company-specific) languages slowly dying out. Interestingly the only surviving languages older than it, FORTRAN and LISP, are also machine-independent.
So where’s the thread for (equally bad) predictions for 2022?
What type of therapy are you suggesting? Any type?
I personnally use tests for two things :
- in tdd, to make sure my code works in expected scenarios
- in CI to make sure new code don't break old features.

In both case, i need to control my testing environment.

Randomizing inputs could be used in a third scenario for extensive testing, a bit like fuzzing. But it's yet another different usage.
Gas power plants are currently a cornerstone of the Danish green electricity plan. The idea is to base everything primarily on wind and solar, and to build an extensive direct current distribution network to exchange power with neighboring countries. Even with all that, there will still be periods where the sun does not shine and the wind doesn't blow. Gas power plants are then supposed to take over in those periods, which are hypothesized to be relatively short. It has been projected that all gas will be biogas by 2035, i.e. derived from food waste etc, and thus in theory carbon neutral.
First to correct some factual errors. The importer was a Russian citizen, who happened to be visiting Georgia. His conspirator was an American citizen living in Texas, that being a critical element to him being able to purchase the manuals and forward them to Russia.

Furthermore, it wasn’t that long ago when Russia invaded Georgia and essentially annexed portions of its territory. It’s clearly in their national interest to cooperate with laws that seek to prevent technology transfers to Russia.

However, if you defraud a little old lady living in England of her money over the internet, you may very well be extradited to the UK despite being from the US. Would that be the UK riding rough shot over US sovereignty?

The American legal system (for all its faults) is independent and has strong safe guards for the rights of defendants. The Russian legal system is not independent and routinely uses as a tool to suppress descent and prevent potential challengers from standing for election as observed in the many cases against Navalny.
Maybe people are wired differently but I have always thought that git is way more intuitive than Subversion and I was more productive after 1 week of git than I previously had been after 1 year of using Subversion. I am sure Subversion has improved since then, but so has git.
Then the search tool should support not being case sensitive. I understand the efficiency of case insensitive search (otherwise Google's empire wouldn't exist).

Nuclear sure, although I don't think they are practical any more given the cost and time to build vs renewables

But Gas? Europe should be setting a plan to have no gas imports by the end of the decade, not shutting down nuclear power plants and increasing reliance on Russia
I recently took two of my kids to the emergency room, after I found an empty box of children’s Tylenol. Their blood levels turned out to be normal, thankfully, but we were kept there for around 4 hours as a precaution. That empty box of Tylenol cost me $6k.
Git has no checkboxes. It is purely command line. Are you talking about Github or Gitlab? I know Gitlab used to have this bug where you could easily accidentally give everyone access to all your repos.
Well for me, probably because I wanted to and it feels productive enough to break away from the other work that keeps me busy.

It’s also nice to have a low stakes hobby, I haven’t made a shed before but spent the last year getting into fixing things (automotive & household items) as well as home improvement.

Why does it not have basic sanity checking to make sure the configured flight path is not going unreasonably close to terrain? Is it solely controlling heading and altitude or does the flight director incorporate waypoints and topology?

From one of the printouts in the post, it seems that Papers Please is using a bundled and statically linked SDL.

So it would be the game developer that would have to update the version of the SDL library. The binary patching done seems like a good-enough alternative in the meantime.

I have the feeling such bundling of dependencies is fairly common when porting games for Linux.

No, because the status quo allows the various providers to extract every penny of value that they can out of you.

Nowhere. It will end nowhere. If you want to build consensus or make sense of things then a first past the post vote on the truth isn't helpful. This is all entirely motivated by cash grabs and not an interest in developing useful things.
Language is full of ambiguities that are only resolved by context. Both a relative increase and an absolute increase are increases, so saying that it has a "clear meaning" is fairly pointless here.

And you're still ignoring my original question, which I asked from genuine curiosity. I'm getting a strong feeling you prefer to focus on a straw man, because if you look at relative changes your position falls apart. Do prove me wrong.
I remember making predictions in early Summer 2020 that the pandemic would last until the Winter. My friends and coworkers thought I was nuts.
He throws around the phrase "Other Blockchains" pretty casually, but then only focuses on Eth. Many of the problems in Ethereum are solved in Avalanche in my opinion. That's why I've heavily invested in it. Avalanche is already PoS, it can support a high transaction rate (estimated >4500 tps), and it has something called SubNets, which is the secret sauce. Subnets can have custom vm's for example. The idea of an application moving to a custom subnet is you can horizontally scale, customize, and future proof itself.
It seems to conflate the existence of a hand with the perception of a hand (specifically an 'external' hand). Neither implies the other.
