It's not an overstepping at all, reddit has and always will be authoritarian. They will always be political. They banned whitebeautyart because it invoked a feeling of honor, tradition.

They won't ban antiwork because it encourages giving up, consooming, laziness, weakness. Exactly the kind of NPC audience reddit milks money off of. Ad revenue, reddit gold, buying emojis, constant scrooolllling, etc.

You are just naive, there will always be authoritarianism, forever. You're just on the receiving end or the administrating end.
Yes ! Re-inventing the wheel is literally perfectly fine. You take a round piece of wood, make it roll, and BAM you re-invented the wheel. No need to go to Toyota, buy their wheel making machinery for millions and run that to make a little thing roll.

It's the same with packages, it's FINE to have to redo a bit thousand separator logic, do you truly need a transitive dependency hell with ^1.1.1 in the package list that auto upgrade at random !!? I've had several cases where the whole company is all hands on deck because some dep somewhere moved up and all subsequent builds fail - what are people doing in node, we never had these issues in Java.
That's quite beside the point.
> There's also a cleaning product named "Jif" in Australia

And a peanut butter in the US. So what?

> Saying "Gif" as "jif" seems very redundant - why even have different letters?

English is...rather unconcerned with having an absence of duplication of sounds between letters (“c” and “x” are pretty much completely redundant with other letters, and there are plenty of overlaps on the other letters in represented sounds.)
Apple Headset not an 'all-day device,' creating a metaverse 'off limits'
I'm outside of Pittsburgh, and I've had two different IP's in the last 10 years. The IP change only happened when I upgraded my service a few years ago. I suspect it would still be the same if I didn't change plans.
That's really interesting. I wonder if this is a Chromium-only issue? It may be worth filing a bug: https://bugs.chromium.org

I'm not an expert in this space, but it seems to me that the JavaScript engine could eventually clean up that memory, maybe based on some heuristics (e.g. the size of the original string, whether any references to the original string exist, etc.).
In this instance are you referring to the equal application of laws regardless of social status? Or is your issue with the laws themselves? If the latter, be assured they enjoy a majority of public support and have objectively reduced the covid death rate per capita by 30x compared to, say, the US.
Of course, this can lead to pinning a version out of fear from breakage. Which... Is it's own problem.
> ...so the ban is not going to reduce the amount of gas burned at all, is it?

My understanding is that the purpose of the ban was (1) increase indoor air quality and (2) reduce the amount of gas that leaks in distribution. Natural gas has something like 20x the GWP of CO2. Burning it at power plants reduces the amount leaking into the atmosphere. About 5% of anthropogenic methane emissions come from distribution.

There are much bigger things we could be doing, but just because this particular change isn't reducing the CO2 impact doesn't mean it's not a positive change.
The vast majority of my favorite authors - ergo the ones I'm interested enough in to go looking for their opinions - have explicitly recused themselves from public interpretation.
Join a contracting agency for a couple of years to see how contracting works, then you can decide to contract directly by yourself.
I think some other comments are expressing interest in exactly just that.
This sort of stuff is why I'm for larger standard libraries. Design-by-committee issues are one thing, but ultimately each library maintainer having to go out there and sell themselves at this atomized creature, instead of being able to group together resources, means we're paying over and over for base functionality, with the willpower of people with good intentions.

This might be controversial, but I feel like the default position should be that every package over a certain number of monthly downloads should be considered as being added to the standard library (along with paying maintainers a stipend and helping integrate into a release process).

I think we can have our cake and eat it too on this topic
Proof of stake.

PoS a flawed idea from the outset, but you can kind of try to fake it and make it work for a while if people believe that the coins are well distributed. Over the long term, the large whales will eventually consolidate more and more power, but hey, that's tomorrow's problem.

But if in reality there's just a handful of silicon valley tech bros and VCs who control the majority of the supply, and thus can collude to control the network state, then it destroys the idea that it is a decentralized, and trust minimized system.

This was a similar reasoning for justifying the DAO fork. The hacker who broke the code stole ~4% of all Ethereum at the time. Having a known, and impossible to deny, whale of that size would have severely hurt their ability to legitimize the planned migration to PoS.

Specifically from this source, "We may limit the size of a single purchase to make it easier to disguise. *So that no one is scared.*"
fwiw we operate on layers and layers of someone else's code, that's not possible to understand how each dependency works, what's its performance, etc. And also do it for each new update of such libraries. Unless you develop in some very closed environment maybe, but for a modern java/js project that's not possible.

The reasonable approach is to load test the mostly used workflows, optimise if necessary - anything else would be fixing imaginary issues, working on non-existing problems, etc - there is normally no time or money for it.
I use the hell out of chalk and I just want to say thank you for creating/maintaining a solid product. Seeing this is scary to us who still unfortunately have dependencies with Node/npm.

Thank you so much for what you do.
Sure. Using the same logic we can say that FGM[1] reduces chances of cancer in the removed parts. It is genuinely odd argument to make that you get less chance of a disease in an organ when you remove an organ or part thereof.

This the link for HN discussions that I've posted yesterday regarding the anomaly of much lower cancer rates among Middle Eastern people despite their high consumption of sugar compared to other countries such as European countries, USA and Australia[1]. You can download the presentation slides from the link as well in addition to the video. The research is not that scientific but I think it's a good start.

TLDR, less or no alcohol consumption is considered one of the main reasons for the anomaly in addition to fasting, etc. My first thought when I saw the video is that the main reason is the alcohol because majority of the population in Middle Eastern countries are Muslim and alcohol is strictly prohibited in Islam.

This man should be thankful he’s not in jail right now. For reasons unbeknownst he basically got a slap on the wrist. If he wasn’t caught who knows what may have happened.
Pony's object capabilities are one example of an existing implementation. I don't think there's any "inventing" To do here, it's all just implementation work.
I think the worst of the isolation was for older people who were living alone, not in any facilities, but regularly received help from younger friends and family.

But if you think that most "living facilities", even when "fully staffed" are a good place to leave an older person without regular visits, I am going to disagree with you.
unfortunately almost all languages are moving towards smaller, not bigger, standard libraries.

I do think there is space for someone to ship an "unofficial meta-package" for languages like JS to wrap all this stuff (I tried to do an analysis of npm once to figure out what would make sense but got lost in the weeds....)

Python (for me one of the gold standards on this front) has been hyping for a future with a much smaller standard lib and it makes me sad.
Exactly the same experience, including the quitting and restarting. My only regret about the meds is waiting so long to start

> That would involve exchanging his labor for currency.

That's the goal. Or at least one goal. But you can't just press a button and do that.

Being in charge of and an expert on open source software can be a way get people to buy your labor, but it's much harder than it should be. Instead many companies will demand you work for free, because it's open source!

Also trying to do something good for the world shouldn't make it so hard to make money. The companies get value but don't want to pay even a pittance.

This shift is already happening, look at property values over the last 1-2 years.

My guess is that enough rich people moving into the middle of nowhere will cause the government to pay for terrestrial solutions ("incentivize") within the next 10 or so years.
The EU is vast, it's hard to say "EU justice is more corrupt". Maybe Italy is more than NL for instance ? As for the U.S. they operate on principles I disagree with: very heavy prison sentences, focus on lies rather than criminal facts sometimes (like lying to the FBI is more dramatically bad than missing a tax payment), elected AGs if I understood, something we can't do in Europe (it'll turn into plebiscits and push towards political law enforcement brrrr).

I'd correct you buy saying: "when justice happens in the US, it tends to be very punitive and detailed", maybe ? I really don't think the U.S. provides fairer reparation than Germany or Sweden, it's just difference legal ideologies.
I was just recently starting a blog series and attempting to pair it with a YouTube channel for a new project. If you want to monetize a project, I'd assume that would be a way to do it.
I’d reverse the question: for what purposes is there a benefit to you, of giving away any information about yourself to unknown people?
Are you doing that because you think it will improve your speed? A lot of fast typists don't really rigidly stick to the "correct" fingering, as doing so may actually slow you down. I speak from experience as a fast typer; memorising where the keys are and using the closest finger can get you very far, and from there it's just practice to improve speed and accuracy.
He supports different probabilities for the tiles. Though he doesn't, you could vary those probabilities spatially. You could even apply the algorithm with one tileset to get Image #1, then scale up Image #1 and use its colors to determine the probabilities for a second application of the algorithm for Image #2, possibly with a different tileset. Recurse as desired.

On the other hand, it might turn out that when you do things that way, you don't need the edge-matching rule at all; you can just say which colors can correspond to which tiles at the next level of resolution down, maybe with probability, and rely on the high-level tiles to guarantee continuity.
The distinction seems incoherent. In what way are the genuine emotional smiles of an adult not also "just a reflex"?
Note: the paper title and abstract actually talks about super-elite players, not elite players.

I don't have access to the paper. If anyone here has read it, how many games and how many female players did they look at?

Aside from Judit Polgar who had a peak rating of 2735 and was at one time ranked 8th in the world and maybe Hou Yifan whose highest rating so far was 2686 and has been as high as 55th in the world I'm having trouble thinking of any female super-elite chess players. 3rd highest and below are far enough down that I'd not expect them to have many wins against super-elite players.

So I'm curious how they got enough games to draw solid conclusions from.
A very worthwhile investment before the prices go up even more due to sit and demand.

From what I read in other comments, one of the possible motives of this action is to teach a lesson to these billion dollar companies who are piggybacking on OSS without giving back a single cent to the developers.
> Unfit software that causes damage is covered, intent or no.

Well, no, an assertion of nonliability isn’t a magical incantation; local law in whatever jurisdiction is applicable may limit the effect of such an assertion; in places with meaningful consumer protection laws there are limits on the ability to disclaim warranties, and even without decent consume protection law it's often impossible to disclaim liability for malicious torts.
I think it's a huge problem that we barely yet understand.

Politicians et al using it to cover their ambitions is another huge problem.
I don't see how that matters. Imagine if you hid a bomb in a car, sold it to me as a used car with no warranty, and then remotely detonated the bomb. You'd unambiguously be on the wrong side of the law, and the lack of warranty wouldn't make a bit of difference.
I found it all quite shallow and pointless I'm afraid. The space commentary for example, I would expect you can find that information in a BBC or CNN article.
You're only competing with your neighbors, since different regions connect to different ground stations. If you live in a rural location it's unlikely the user density will ever be high enough to cause a problem.

If you live in a dense metro area it will probably fill up very quickly - but then again Starlink is not really designed for those locations, which probably already have good connectivity.
Oh great. Why don't they just call it "Asshole Mode?" What if everyone chose to be an asshole, and turned on "Aggressive Mode?"

“Let me say that again: $20 per foot of road per year, just for road maintenance. I’m going to use this number to estimate the cost of maintaining all of our roads.”

So $100K/yr for a mile of road maintenance in Galesburg. That is about an order of magnitude higher than nationwide/global estimates from other, more professional, sources.

“…local roads are a different animal altogether.

A 2015 study by the Cornell Local Roads Program found that the annual cost of managing a mile of road in a handful of New York towns and cities varied from $4,429 to $10,440. Meanwhile, a 2016 analysis of Washington State’s county roads came up with a range of $1,528 to $23,651…

Outside of the U.S., a 2005 study by the World Bank looked at a sample of developing countries (Albania, Laos, Lesotho, Peru, Zambia), and found that (adjusted for inflation) asphalt roads cost $5,273 per mile to maintain, while gravel roads cost $2,371…”

https://blog.midwestind.com/much-cost-maintain-mile-road/

This took 30 seconds of online research to find. This damages the author’s credibility in my eyes unless Galesburg, indeed, is the home of FBI-investigation-worthy corruption.

There is always the gravel solution.

“The ASCE’s 2017 Infrastructure Report Card notes that at least 27 states have “de-paved” roads in the past five years in order to reduce ongoing maintenance costs. In one particularly notable example, Stutsman County, North Dakota — which spends $32,000 per year on each mile of their 233-mile asphalt road network — estimates that if those same roads were de-paved, the cost per mile of maintenance would drop to just $2,600.”

In Santa Fe NM, some of the most prestigious homes ($1M+) are on gravel roads. That still doesn’t get the order of magnitude reduction.

Fair view. But I dont think lie detectors is a reasonabke compare. IIRC lie detectors ask questions with a true or false answer. These hypnotherapy sessions involve the individual under care to tell a story. They're typically not even aware they spoke at the end of the session.

I appreciate many think it's snake oil, I did too years ago. But have seen first hand great results.
The sad thing is that some(most?) of them only want to think about the code and do not want to do deal with the real world implications of the software that they are involved in.

Show HN: Browser in JavaScript
Ask HN: Equivalent Alternatives to Shadow.tech?
Are there any equivalent alternatives to shadow.tech? (dedicated windows remote desktop machines at $29.99/month.) I really liked it and the price was right, too, but it did not accept my international card and I won't get my U.S. card for a while. I need a remote desktop for my work. The latency doesn't really need to be as low as shadow.tech, I'll use it for scientific desktop apps rather than low-latency gaming but the memory and CPU requirements are the same. I need this type of dedicated instance rather than shared VPS which does not need my performance requirements.

They are on track to make it past 50 years of operations and it's an absolute testament to the quality of things we can produce when we go all out. Its up there with the moon landing in my book. It's one of the greatest things human kind has ever done.

Id also like to point out the absolutely gorgeous posters produced by the art people at JPL which you can find here https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/downloads/ I'm quite fond of the "Voyager Modern" poster (3rd item top row)

It's not about enforcement but the threat.
This must be an art project, right? Legitimately still perplexed.
And if you're optimizing for the browser, you can't count on the improvements being there. So you still want to use third-party libraries for their polyfills.
It's not (necessarily) about sea-level rise drowning us out.

It's about proximity to the sea-level being an indicator of severe damage done to property and infrastructure done by sea-level-rise and other climate-change factors like increased storm severity and frequency, increased dilapidation speed from salt and extreme temperature changes, etc. Not to mention the increased cost of living due to the above even if damage to life and property is minimal.
That made me chuckle :D

Agreed, but then the response to its infectiousness would have been different as well! And even Omicron wouldn't rise to anything close to an extinction event, it is like the opposite of MERS, way better at transmission, relatively bad at killing.

If the first wave of SARS-Cov-2 was Omicron we'd have seen a worse 1st wave on net, but a far higher survival rate, more population immunity pre-vaccine.. and part of me thinks that the response would have been better, the original SARS-Cov-2 hit a bit of a sweet-spot in terms of political accountability with respect to how slowly it moved across the world and the gradual build up of hospital crisis in most places (1st wave hot-spots excepted of course).

Permy role -> Consulting role -> Contracting is the way I did it.

Although as a lot of people say, clients come from my network and referrals. So build that up first. Also, I started my own consulting gig in the UK, which is pretty much consulting central (I don't know any other country that normalises contracting to such an extent).

Possibly something like TopTal would work if your network hasn't reached critical mass yet. They'll take the pain out of finding clients. But that's never been an issue for me.

I think starting from scratch now might be a bit trickier. I have a Saas that's in an industry that's sort of dependent on relationships. And those are harder to build in today's virtual world (or at least, I'm finding it so). I don't think I have any great wisdom on what to do differently though. My pipeline is sort of an organic subsconscious thing.
