The headline doesn't do justice to what's going on.

The government (cabinet) resigned, though the president has asked them to remain on the job until replacements are found. Armed police have fled from armed protestors. There are reports of police having been killed.

So the protestors seem to have both weapons and more determination than the police. It remains to be seen whether they have more staying power than the police, whether the army is going to fight the protestors, and whether Russia is going to take a hand.

I've been a one bag traveller since approximately forever. One hitch I encountered after getting married: the spouse's family has a tradition of bringing back gifts for everyone from any major trip. I understand that back in the olden days, rare and exotic items (an orange? for me? really?) could only be shared via travel. But those days are gone. There are nearly no other remaining friction points left our otherwise awesome marriage.
Releasing stats on race of renters and which race has the most problem renters would help ease fears... if the stats show that all groups behave the same on the whole and there is no financial motivation to be biased.

100% fruit juice is now recognized as being not healthy. It is a "treat" just like cookies or pop.

Most sources will advocate "moderation" because you can't tell Americans not to eat trash without Americans getting upset.

"OK in moderation" means "it is unhealthy but if we tell you to stop you won't so...."

Same as alcohol being OK in moderation. It isn't. It is 100% bad for you. (Those studies in wine are all statistically trickery).

Ditto for cookies. There is no healthy amount of cookies to eat. Do oatmeal cookies technically have some nutritional value? Sure. But that is like dropping a multi-vitamin into a shot of jack daniels. Good for you only in the sense that of hitting yourself on the head and then going for a massage.

Or to put it yet another way, there is exactly 0 instances where fruit juice is superior to eating a piece of fruit. Is orange juice better than something getting scurvy? Sure. That's about the limit of its health benefit though.
The best solution I’ve seen to this (if you have the time, and are interviewing for a variety of roles) is to have the same code (& same bugs) in a variety of languages. And let the candidate use their own computer and their own tools to work on the problem. If you’re hiring for a python role, get the candidate to debug python code!

I’ve done hundreds of interviews like this, and it’s fascinating watching what people do. Do they read the code first? Fire up a debugger? Add print statements and binary search by hand? I had one candidate once add more unit tests, to isolate a bug more explicitly.

After hundreds of interviews I still couldn’t tell you which approach is best. But if there’s one trend I noticed it’s that more senior people (& older people) seem to do better at this assessment. Which is fascinating. And that implies it’s not simply a test of what tools the person is familiar with most recently.

As for luck, I agree this is a problem. It’s mitigated somewhat by having a bunch of easy bugs to fix instead of one hard one. But even a debugging problem like this should be one of a set of assessments you perform. If you fail 5 small assessments in a row it’s probably not luck.

Listening to Robert Malone and numerous other scientists like Anders Tegnell and Dr. Peter McCoullough and other people with credentials that make your credentials look like those of an HVAC technician, it's strange that the HVAC technician would call them quacks.

RCS thrusters often has fixed thrust and used in pulses, like a PDM or PWM analog output from a digital pin in a microcontroller. So it's normal to mash buttons or bump joysticks in space to achieve desired rates, rather than gradually adding and maintaining force on the joystick to keep attitudes as done in airplanes.

In real life, there is also 'coupling' between axes, e.g. trying to move towards top of your head might cause spacecraft to somehow point slightly sideways while at it. That used to be taken care of by pilot's skill in Apollo era and before, but today it should be mitigated by software.

The fact that there's still a lot of buildings still standing doesn't mean they were built perfect, it just means their construction has the possibility of lasting a 1000 years. For each of those buildings I bet there were 10 more with the exact same building techniques that are no longer standing.

A 1000 years is a lot of time to go without a fire. I think just because of the fire risk wood is simply out of the question. Well unless you can protect the wood against fire like the OP is doing with the steel.

Considering modern times, I think you would have to go one step further and also consider gas explosions and possibly being bombed as well. Just imagine how many 1000+ yr old buildings must have been in Germany before WW2.

Another tangent (sorry!): do you know of good power meters that don't have to sit right at the outlet? I really need several but I want them to have extensions because I want to glue them on my wall and monitor them in real time, not having to stick my ass in the air while trying to crawl under my desk (where all the outlets are), just so I can see the measurements.

I’m 100% with you on this. I’ve worked with many people who thought they’re full-stack developers just because they use these “full-stack” frameworks. Some of the guys didn’t know what a foreign key is but wanted to use reactive programming. Some of them didn’t know what’s a REST API but bashed the pattern and praised GraphQL. You get what I mean.

Fast/fuzzy search for pasting.

No interacting with menus, no up/down presses, no mouse. I miss that feature.
> Any regulation will have this effect, and the details you speak of determine the degree.

There's more to it than that.

The ban on leaded gasoline makes gasoline somewhat more expensive. If you multiply that by all the unleaded gasoline everybody has bought since the 1970s, that's a lot of money! But lead is really, really, really bad. That ban is cost effective even if it costs billions of dollars. Which it does, but the alternative is much worse.

There are other regulations that cost just as much and provide nowhere near the same benefit. The deterrent effect on doing business in the US of both regulations is the same, but the benefit we receive isn't.

And the deterrent is cumulative. There are advantages to doing business in the US. An educated workforce and a stable government etc. Companies move out when the cumulative regulatory deterrent exceeds the advantages.

Which means you can have a ban on leaded gasoline without anyone leaving, because the cost of that doesn't exceed the other advantages of the US. Which means that anyone trying to repeal the ban on leaded gasoline is doing it wrong.

But if you have a ban on leaded gasoline and 250,000 other regulations that each cost just as much but are barely breakeven if that on the benefit side, you exceed the threshold and lose the jobs. To get the jobs back, you have to get rid of some of the regulations.

We need to get rid of the ones with a poor cost benefit ratio, not the ones with a great cost benefit ratio. Which is, to be honest, most of them -- but it's still really important that it be the right ones.

You really think people would do this over gas prices? https://apnews.com/article/business-kazakhstan-almaty-9da423...
There has to be a sign at the gas station that shows that this area is filmed (at least in Europe). The sign has to tell you who is responsible and why you are filmed.
On this basis you can refuse to enter the area.

The fundamental difference is that you can at least in principle choose not to go into an area where you are filmed and know it beforehand while the other person's did not know that they are filmed. I guess they wouldn't have texted while driving in this case. They assumed privacy in their own car and on their phone.

More airport-related benefits:

- Be able to sprint through an airport to be front of line for border patrol.

- Not have to wait along with 100+ people at the baggage claim and just walk out to grab the first taxi.

- Not have to wait at long and slow lines to check in luggage

- Not having to worry about being first to board a plane and search for an overhead compartment

- Not having to worry about lost luggage from the airline

- Not having to worry about checked luggage if a flight gets delayed or cancelled

- Save money on checked + carry-on baggage fees

- Not tripping people when dragging your luggage behind you

Also once went straight to an NYC airport to the Museum of Natural History and got in with my backpack. Useful to just have a backpack when it's too early to check in to your hotel, or for the time between your check-out and your flight to wander around.

You can totally use a multi-stage loader, storing stage 0 and encryption keys on mask ROM. You have to make sure you don’t use a shoddy crypto implementation (or else you end up with something like Wii boothax), but the general concepts aren’t too out there:

1. Load stage zero from maskrom

2. Stage zero loads stage one from flash along with a public signing key from maskrom

3. Stage zero verifies the signature of stage one from vendor. If it’s not valid, halt.

4. Stage zero jumps into stage one.

5. Stage one and later perform the rest of the attestation and booting process.

The hardest part is bootstrapping, but it’s really not THAT hard…

Fair enough, I apparently didn't look closely enough at that page and focused on "Tip 5" itself, the problem with using a physical book versus something searchable. Still, my primary issue with this review is the selective quoting that made the authors' views seem dogmatic in a way that they weren't. They specifically provide a pragmatic out versus stop-and-fix and rchaves neglected it to make a misleading point.
It’s a great city if you don’t have kids and are of means. It absolutely is a terrible place if you’re poor and rely on public services that aren’t transportation (CTA, Metra), which are pretty good.

How could this co-processor, designed by Microsoft, be able to spy on you while you're running Linux, an OS it doesn't understand, and Linux itself is actively trying to keep itself hidden from such a co-processor.

I'm disappointed in the HN crowd going into hysterics when the reality is simple; no hardware module can spy on an OS that knows exactly how the module works and can actively deny it any access.

It's more that the selection operates on whole lines in Tree mode, so it would parse fine with the tree-sitter grammar (for syntax highlighting etc) but selecting the inner contents of a block would take the block's closing ) with it. This would only matter if you wanted to move the contents somewhere though - editing and refactoring commands (including with the help of LSPs) will work, with the selection being the outermost node on the first selected line.

Nothing about this design seems intended for 1000 years. It needs wood fireplaces in case that’s the only way of heating the space, but yeah, in a world where we’ve reverted to this, they’ll be able to weld stainless steel and source replacement seismic fuses.

So many elements of this thing don’t make sense together. Clad the whole thing in a double layer of brick that isn’t actually going to bear load? Why? This is unlikely to last for 1000 years anyway. It probably won’t survive the first major earthquake and even if it does you’ll probably have to tear it apart to get to those seismic fuses.

In general structures do not remain standing unless they are maintained, so plan for that. Assume the cladding can and will be replaced. The person who needs to do work on this imaginary house certainly isn’t going to reclad in this nonsense at 4x the cost of the brick veneer it actually needs. Hell, just wrap the thing in hardiplank and it will probably be fine for the first 100 years.

Mandatory rules. Yours is a good question, but the parent’s suggestion might be totally fair. People in the US, and in other countries too, clearly have a problem with mandatory things, a lot of people are so determined to defy rules imposed on them, they will break the rules even when it’s in their interest to abide.
They may also be running into the issue that physicians and residents do: hand-off errors. I have seen arguments that it's better to have an exhausted physician who has been monitoring you for 12+ hours than a fresh one who just started their shift. There's a lot of state of the current situation that can't be easily transmitted from one shift to the next.
It's a translation problem actually. For the French, there is no mystery there. She said "brioche" but because most cultures didn't have brioches yet, it was usually translated as "cake".

The point was that, price of simple bread was government-regulated, so producing and selling it lost money to bakers and they either didn't do that at all when they could get away with it, or only did in minimum quantities that got quickly sold out. Prices of brioche, as a higher grade product, were not regulated, and brioche was always available.

So really, that comment was more of pun illustrating how lame government price control policies were, rather than an indication of lack of touch with ordinary people's lives.
What will bitcoiners do when the inevitable happens- inflation and green energy polices raise the price of electricity...

I guess they can pick up and move somewhere if it gets banned. In the meantime they can partner with green energy, raising electricity prices or cost to mine bitcoin which helps push up the price of bitcoin. All while pretending to be green- encouraging wind expansion and hoping for blackouts which they can also profit from - wild swings in prices makes them also enron energy traders.

This will encourage more POW coins... lets launch even more tokens with POW.
> No, aluminum melts at 1.55 times the melting point of lead

I guess it depends on your definition of "double" -- Al @ 1221°F / 660°C vs. Pb @ 621.5°F / 327°C, but sure, in Kelvin it's 1.55 thanks to the higher baseline. Still ~twice the delta-T from room temp, though.

> We can, however, apply modern technics and materials when they make sense : insulation, windows, waterways...

The article raises an important point that could be a problem when trying to mix old and new build techniques. When talking about brick walls it says:

> One tricky thing with this type of assembly is that while it has performed well historically, it doesn’t necessarily play nice with more modern, energy efficient construction. A solid brick wall was traditionally designed to be exposed on the inside, exposing it to interior heat and allowing it to dry. Adding interior insulation makes the house much more comfortable, but also changes the thermal dynamics, potentially causing freeze/thaw damage in the brick, and allowing moisture to accumulate between the brick and the insulation. This is one of the many details that would need to be worked out for the complete design of the home.

You can't simply build something following the examples of a castle or a cathedral, but then add modern insulation, because the insulation won't allow the masonry to breath and dry to both sides, leading to water damage, mold, rot, ...

At the end of the day, a badly insulated building can be made to last for ages passively by just making it breath, so the temperature and humidity vary with the weather but are kept in check by passive external factors (e.g. the sun shining on a external wall dries it from the outside). While a well insulated building absolutely needs constant mechanical HVAC with fine tuned control. You can have a well insulated building or a passive building, you can't have both (by the way, the "Passive House TM" insulation standard is a complete misnomer, being that mechanical ventilation is its second biggest tenet).
That doesn't make sense. Why would someone who knows how to find a different search engine, change the setting be part of the group of people who are new or otherwise clueless?
