It is hard to discuss this without being political. Any position on this topic is basically flamebait.

I do believe the education system in America is designed to fulfill a few functions. The best interest of the children is not one of them.

The only people who can reasonably advocate for child welfare are parents, not teachers or politicians. Parents who take an interest in their children and attend school board meetings are being demonized. That should tell you all you need to know about the situation with schooling.
Yeah no - just like the sister comment I too have never met anyone who doesn’t know the difference. I think you’re underestimating the intelligence of the average “non tech” user.
I guess another way to look at it is by platform dominance though. Android is 85% globally. Apple is only a majority in some English speaking countries. And even then they barely have a majority. It’s a fairly even split between Apple and Android.

Most people I know are brand agnostic but platform loyal. Google could have captured half of all English speaking countries and 85% globally if not for their incompetence. They still could since here we are complaining about Google’s messaging apps.
>Department of Health and Human Services made unredacted versions available for an in camera review but not available to the public.

Sus.
The difference is that SMS is a dumb, text-only format with no features. And so it made it easy for people to switch to WhatsApp, iMessage etc as they could easily offer compelling features.

RCS has a lot of those compelling features and so would be able to take market share away from those proprietary apps.

Great right ? Well no because RCS is unencrypted specifically so that carriers and governments can read your messages.
>The coup plot has been confessed to already

Can you explain why we're calling this a coup when nobody has been charged with anything related to a coup/insurrection/treason etc?

You wrote a huge text wall as if that helps your point, but missed the most obvious - nobody in the Department of Justice actually thinks there was a coup attempt.
You also have to grow up in a society that is completely alien to ours, your entire outlook on life, how long you might live, and how willing you are to give up your life is different.

Imagine living in a world where how tough you are, how well you can fight determines everything about your status in the world.
C++ lambda captures can follow the copy constructor, so that when the lambda is copied, the captures copy too. Or you can capture by reference, which is easier to wander into unsafe situations with.

So a lot of times if you want the captures to stay alive but don't want a deep copy, you'll make a std::shared_ptr<> and capture that, which leads to reference counted captures.
Was about to note the same thing. Agreed with GP on all other points, but I forgave the language mistakes after seeing their about page.

FWIW, while I don't condone it, I do think that any non-native speaker should take such criticism as a compliment. It's a sign that they're good enough to pass for native; if they were clearly struggling to write passable English, the reactions would likely be more polite with helpful pointers.
I don't know if it was this paper, but this was a classic piece of research on that topic from that era:

Add raspi to your cross platform list. Now tell me how VScode runs.

Kinda crap, is it not? Barely usable.

And how do we fix that? We can't.

I mean it's not a Commodore. It's a raspi. It streams 4K video and decodes it onto your projector on the fly.

But editing code using a popular solution is not any good.
I don't think an EMP from a ground explosion would be significant. At least for a something 30k feet above it as I believe the pulse to be shaped horizontally and weak. To generate a significant EMP you have to detonate a nuke at high altitude as to cause a secondary EMP due to Earth magnetic field.

Even if a plane is hit by an EMP I believe the engines will keep working and the plane will have backup controls. Unless it's a Boeing of the newer generation where everything is electrical/digital. And even if everything stops working it will keep gliding unless at an odd angle/speed at the moment of the hit. That said loss of instruments and radio would be painful. Components getting damaged depends on the magnitude of the EMP and a weak pulse might cause only transitory malfunctions.

Note: my knowledge on this subject is superficial and I'm probably wrong.
And it broke reopen recently closed tabs.
What is your use case here? Why would you want to send an SMS to another user who also has iMessage? Or do you mean you think that should just be a capability of any messaging service?
If an nvme drive supports the controller memory buffer (CMB) feature, an RNIC can do a peer to peer transfer.

From what I recall of the netflix storage node that was linked from HN a few months back, the current generation has 4 x 100 Gb mellanox ethernet ports (CX6, PCIe Gen 4) and somewhere around 20 to 30 PCIe gen 3 NVMe drives.

Assuming they can figure out how to do peer to peer transfers, scaling up by a factor of 4 doesn't seem implausible.

What about this one? "Portland protest declared a riot Sunday as federal building is breached" https://nypost.com/2020/07/26/portland-protest-declared-a-ri...

In fact, wouldn't all of the BLM movements accurately be described as targeted at the government because they were explicitly aimed at enacting change in government institutions like the police?

In another post you say that "until a BLM protest attempts to use force to overthrow a city, state, or federal government, it's a riot at best when violence is involved." But how do you classify the CHAZ in Seattle, where force was used to overthrow city and state governments and establish an "autonomous" zone where guns and violence were the only recognized power by the occupiers?

I don’t think it ever was in general? I was offered a green card and a high value job in California. I decided to accept a job in Australia instead. That was the right choice for me. But YMMV of course. I think it depends on your personality, job situation etc. whether the US is the right choice for you or not.
I’m not sure I want an app designed by a baby though. Chances are they missed something important.

I’m not saying I agree entirely, but I’ll say this… every day I’m writing embedded microcontroller code, I’m getting my ass kicked. I’ve been doing it for sometime, it doesn’t really get easier, I just am able to write code that does more with the same hardware. It’s tough work imo. … then I hop on a YouTube channel and see some messaging queue system, and the guy writes four lines in two files, does some npm magic and that’s it, he has a server running and multiple clients connecting and queuing and etc. Very cool… but…

This guy is talking about how he has no idea how it works, it just does…

The high bar might be welcome for when it “just doesn’t anymore”. Because I don’t care if a website sucks, but do care if my furnace stops or a plane falls out of the sky or a bad queuing system causes a global shipping deadlock, etc.

Maybe the bar should be low for bringing people in, and high for people that actually make things.
to be fair though, isn't "it's cheaper" just the same thing the article laments from the consumer side? It just extends the argument from "devs are cheap" to "users are cheap as well"

the overriding concern seems to be that if we continue to stack crappy tech on top of crappy tech and accept it as consumers for twenty years we've built the tower of Babel (some might argue we're there already) and that this is terrible long term engineering.

If we treated semiconductors or aerospace engineering the same way we wouldn't have any chips to run electron software on and the planes would keep falling out of the sky.
Same. My prof laughed at NDAs for the same reason. Ideas aren't what's valuable. It's having the drive, dedication, inspiration and level of excellence to bring it to life.
As an engine, Chromium has overwhelming market share, so it decreases risk to build on top of it. Choosing an alternative browser engine increases risk.

Embeddability has little to do with it; Chromium (as opposed to WebKit) isn't actually that embeddable. Rather, market share is king. With a high market share, the community will step up with projects like Electron and Chromium Embedded Framework that add embeddability.
Theoretically, we could do the same with comments no? Make the code extremely compact and explain it, perhaps even in a format like literate programming?
> Would this have been considered a "malicious" act as well?

Price increases can cause a loss of customers; that's fairly well understood, I think.

I don't think it would be seen as malicious, because:

- People could fork from the previously-free edition

- People should generally be understanding of (even if not in agreement with) the desire to make money from their labour

For a FOSS project to attempt to engage with existing investment/company/private equity structures could be fraught thought, I'd expect (one route to enabling a revenue model).

coincidentally, this was a fairly large plot element in the book i've just finished reading, colson whitehead's "harlem shuffle" (excellent book, recommended). the protagonist switched to a split sleep pattern to get some extra hours during the night to do things his day job didn't give him time for, and which would take away from his family if he did them in the evening.
> there's no plausible way the people there would have seized power.

The sitting President was the one who attempted the coup. He didn't need to seize power -- he already held power. The objective of the insurrection on Jan 6 was to prevent the transfer of power, which they absolutely almost did.
Why not? Maybe someone doesn't want to reveal what phone they're using at the moment, or maybe they just prefer plain-ol SMS.
the trailer is exactly the same style of the film you get. Scenes included in it like stopping the bullets and dojo explosion look incredibly lame. Then the colors are all over the place. It's fine if you don't do the green tint, that doesn't mean you have to pop everything to 11.

So I don't know why you thought it was amazing.

On the point of teeth (and bones), going hungry increase growth hormone, which was good for the skeleton and thus straight teeth. You see this today with dogs prone to hip dysplasia, as a puppy they were likely overfed with not enough tryptophan (60mg converts to 1mg nicotinic acid in humans) or nicotinic acid (vitamin b3) in their diet, ergo not enough growth hormone and so you get Labradors and other dogs getting hip dysplasia.

Japense kids with depression, were found to be driven to school where as those that walked to school for just 10-15mins iirc didnt get depressed according to one study. Blue light stimulates or helps increase the serotonin in the brain which creates wakefulness.

The scenario is a _little_ more complicated than I laid out, but I have seen this in practice. I _believe_ that it will happen when you have two copies of a repo and one of the copies does not have one of the dependencies. If user A (repo copy 1) adds a package with `^1.0.0` but the lockfile indicates `^1.0.11`, then user B (repo copy 2) will get `^1.0.12`.

The _only_ correct behaviour for a lockfile is `=1.0.11` (I think that npm calls that `1.0.11`, but NPM’s semver specification is unnecessarily complex compared to Elixir or Ruby) unless there is an explicit update. Otherwise, you will _not_ get the same version installed for all developers.

People for the last 10k years in agrarian societies mostly ate cereal grains, with a few exceptions like Mesoamerica where they ate beans, squash, and a cereal grain. Hunter gatherers eat a stunning variety of diets and archeology suggests this has always been true. In polar regions people subsist primarily on meat and animal fat, in other places primarily shellfish and small fish.

In the roads case, the demand was always there. Increased capacity means that more demand is satisfied, even if the QoS for the satisfied demand went up.

Consider the person who lived close to work because commuting wasn't possible. With increased capacity, living elsewhere becomes an option. They wouldn't exercise that option unless they preferred it. That demand predates the availability of the option.
This is probably not what he had in mind, but I love make one to throw away, for experiments. Product and VPs often have a damn hard time wrapping their minds around it though. I saw it working with my own eyes! What do you mean we can’t ship it?! My latest product partners have no trouble understanding the value when they see that their experiments get shipped in half the time, it’s well worth it to get twice as many experiments out even if GA takes twice as long, because 2/3rds of experiments should fail anyway.

This probably is because the industry wants backwards compatibility. It almost seems a miracle we have finally switched to Python 3 and stopped importing Unicode support "from the future".

This feels like flame-bait.

As someone with a background in philosophy of language, the idea that i can write a program in python instead of C is basically my barrier for entry.

I learned first-order logic, and I don't have a degree in CS.

Does that make me a bad coder? Maybe. I can still apply my knowledge of logic to solve a lot of problems that someone who spent years learning C instead of studying mathematical logic can't.

I am not saying your wrong, it’s just I don’t understand your point.
It's not actually about profits. Each worker is trying to maximize their status while minimizing risk.

I'd venture to guess most software teams could be replaced with a team of talented engineers 1/4th their size. However, that will never happen. Why? Shrinking your team psychologically signals to your boss that you're less important. Also, you want extra redundancy because that makes each team member more replaceable.

You also don't want to accelerate development too much, otherwise you might end up with a pace that is unsustainable. This risks missed deadlines. It's better to keep engineers occupied with firefighting and rally the troops only if you need a burst of productivity.

I'm not saying I support this but this is what I've figured out in my time as a software developer on a wide variety of teams.

Right now though there is no one standard which is a good thing for competition and security.

And you want instead to move the world towards a single, insecure standard, dictated by carriers who have decades long history of (a) supplying data to governments, (b) selling data to random third parties, (c) intercepting messages for their own nefarious purposes e.g. advertising and (d) doing very little to secure and protect their platforms from abuse.

Table S3 has what you want, it's much closer to useful than any CDC press release with the major caveats that it was done in a Kaiser population (which could be non-representative) and is very new and totally unvetted.

Ultimately I think you're not completely incorrect and I agree with teh directionality of what you're saying, but taken generally, the reality is that omicron does a much better job of infecting people (who were previously infected and have natural immunity, or who were vaccinated) and so much of this entire vaccine exercise has shown that we either need to move quickly/plan for regular 4-month updates (can you imagine trying to get everybody in the world to vaccinate every 4 months?) or maybe acknowledge that vaccination isn't the solution it was pitched as.
I feel sorry for the owner, but she doesn’t seem to consider the implications of what she is writing:
“ At least fifteen organizations and cities had filed amicus briefs opposing Turner’s argument. Among them were the American Pet Products Association, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Kennel Club. They argued that if pet owners could sue for sentimental value, veterinary malpractice insurance premiums would skyrocket, and pet product companies would be hit with class action lawsuits every time someone’s cat got sick from a can of food. ”

If all those things happened, the pet owners are the ones who would end up paying the increased cost, meaning poor people would find it harder to own and care for their pets. That’s seems like a reasonable trade-off, particularly when the risk is under the owner’s control. There is also a lot of passive language in this article to avoid the owner taking responsibility - the dog “got out” of the owner’s control - whereas if it happened to my pet, I would feel that I hadn’t properly secured my pet
> The platform doesn't have any leverage here, they are just a middle man.

They have all the leverage here, as they are the only party that has any contract with both the other parties.

> So "Robin" will have to pay the contractor.

No, he will have to pay Upwork! That's whom he signed a deal with! How the fuck can this be so hard to understand?!?

> But the platform has no claim on the contractor,

Exactly. So why are they trying to impose some bullshit "We're going to keep ALL your future earnings until we get as much as our client bilked us out of" on the contractor? That's the injustice that is the crux of this matter, not this irrelevant "remedy" that you keep blithering about -- which in reality is just a further (huge!) imposition on the only wholly innocent party here, the contractor.

> But now they've met in person and hopefully the contractor knows his ID and address.

That's wholly, totally, utterly fucking irrelevant. NOT having to use stuff like that to chase after a payment is precisely what the contractor pays Upwork their cut for. At most, as a pure courtesy to Upwork, he could give that info to Upwork for them to use in chasing down "Robin". But:

1) "We met in Zürich" sounds like they quite possibly both travelled there. What use is the address of a hotel where "Robin" stayed a night or two years ago?

2) "His IP"?!? a) Why would he have that? b) What use is an IP address from that hotel, or some Starbucks / daily-rental-office-space in Zürich from years ago? c) Shouldn't Upwork already have all relevant and necessary contact details for their client, "Robin"?

I'm sorry: At first I thought you were either trying to make some weird (and bad) joke, or had just suffered some normal misunderstanding of the issues at hand. But as it has become clear that you're just simply refusing to understand what this is all about, I see no use in continuing to try and enlighten you.

Honestly I like well-designed modern C++ as a library/app developer; it's fast, type-safe, and (more or less) expressive. The worst thing about it is unnecessarily complex syntax/concepts (TMP scares me, `template<typename> using Foo` simplifies code, concepts are complicated but help avoid TMP) and slow compile times (unavoidable to my knowledge) I looked at nlohmann/json's homepage and I find the API surface perfectly readable (if you avoid ""_json and the more complex stuff, I didn't look at the library itself).

Similarly I think that fmtlib is a beautiful piece of software (fmt::memory_buffer is beautiful, but I dislike the mysterious template errors when you write code wrong, and poor documentation for how to avoid them). It's as convenient as C format strings (but type-safe, and thankfully uses fat strings composed of a pointer and length, or begin and end, rather than null-terminated strings with O(n) strlen), and much better than C++ streams, which hold string formatting state (setw, precision) which is wholly wasteful for binary file IO, and is evil global state (possibly TU-local) for console IO.

Modern C++ also a lot better than the 3+ layer deep inheritance hierarchies of 2000s C++, where Child::f() delegates to Base::f() which calls g(), which is a virtual function pointing to Subclass::g(), which delegates to Base::g(), which is alive and well in Qt and KDE code.
