I apologize for adding unnecessary flame to the conversation. I shouldn't have responded the way I did and should have instead clarified my position. I'm a little tired of reading COVID anecdotes and brought that into my response to you. That's on me.

>The decision above was purely economic.

I think it's hyperbolic to say that it was purely economic. Everything we do has some connection to the economy. Everyone in this thread, including myself, is basically making an economic argument facaded by an emotional one. But to say it's purely economic forgets the connection we have with people and the reason why we want the hospitals to be open for people who need care. A real sort of "collapse" happened for some rural family members. They don't have a hospital for their whole county and have to rely on another county's hospital. After they ran out of beds, the people in that town just had to wait and hope whatever ailment they had could be resolved elsewhere.

Back to the economy, obviously bad mental health has long lasting effects and that has secondary effects on the economy. I'm not so sure the alternative, the one where everything is kept open, would have worked. The "hospitals will collapse" scare tactic was only one aspect of what would have been a much larger collapse. Not just economic, but societal.

>You would have to be really stupid to think the people in charge would shut down trillion dollar industries because the parents of some children died.

You mean the hospitals? With a health system collapse, they just wouldn't be able to handle a lot of cases like you said. It wouldn't shut down in the sense that it would be 100% ineffective, just that
Here's what happened. Federal loans have existed for a long time. The Federal government would guarantee loans made by private organizations. However, these were always "Federal loans", the Federal government controlled the interest rate and the maximum amounts available.

The government under the Obama administration changed things so that "Federal" loans instead of being made by private organizations and backed by the government, were directly distributed from the treasury.

However even before this, there were separate Federal and private loans, and the only way to get to $200k (for undergrad) was to get unsubsidized private loans that weren't backed by the government.
In six years I’ve gone from around $30K to $200K. And I’m not special. I don’t have a college degree either.
The music industry has no explanation for anything. Its entire existence is based on made up concepts that are irrelevant in the 21st century, ideas such as copyright. To actually explain things is to prove their own irrelevance.

They're not like us, they don't know or care what user agents are. The only thing that matters to them is control. To them, the idea that someone might do something they didn't approve of is an atrocity that must be combated at all costs. They actually think that browsers are glorified passive content consumption platforms where they get to set the rules and it's take it or leave it. Even something as basic as user scripts is an affront to them because it means the user is not a passive consumer anymore.

US has 2x more troops forward deployed in East Europe for Russian contingency and decades worth of equipment stocked piled as result of cold war. There's also all of NATO. Versus TW where PRC concentration of forces overwhelm US air/naval assets and reinforcement is far away in time and logistics and there's no US allies in region willing to credibly contribute to TW defense.

The entire current TW defense strategy is to line up on the beach to be blown up based off 90s PLA invasion plans not 2020 PLA plans based off US stomping Iraq with high tech weapons and complete air supremacy. The "tough nut to crack" / porcupine strategy are asymmetric doctrine US think tanks want TW to adopt so US can respond it time. It's not reality, currently PRC can stomp TW before US help arrives. And it's questionable US has any supremacy within 1st island chain for TW defense. Also PLA isn't filled elites, certainly not combat roles, and what few there are will have strings pulled not to be deployed anyway. The entire one-child will disincentivize TW war meme is also nonsensical, PLA wants martyrs after decades of relative peace and frankly having a dead hero is going to come with a golden parachute for the family.

The real answer is PRC still prioritizes peaceful reunion because time is on their side.

Where as time is not on side of Russia, simultaneously because force balance could shift away for Russian favor and Putin has actually managed to credibly modernize Russian military that it's at peak power to pursue/restore it's security environment that has been devolving for the last 20 years. Ultimately, Russia is currently powerful enough to fight for her interests, because on balance capability is in RU favor. US isn't going to intervene, EU underinvested in defense while Russia invested enough despite how poor they are.
rsync.net is a massively awesome product, I think I can safely say the rest of the internet is hoping you don't get any time away :).
I don't think this is a fad. Artists have been purposefully using limited palettes or limited gamuts for a long time. Often, painting the color that you actually see ends up looking garish, amateurish, or at best, out of place. The film industry is just doing what traditional representative Western Art has been doing for hundreds of years; even after artists had access to cheap, vibrant colors.
> it's clearly not an intended way to interact with YouTube

I'm curious how you reached that conclusion. The maintainers of YouTube-DL would certainly disagree!
Yeah noticed this as well. There might only be one or two actual results from the search, the rest of recommendations that arent even related. I noticed this occurs more when I search for "unsavory" videos or podcasts. I think its a method of soft censorship, youtube channels can upload videos, but youtube will make them essentially undiscoverable unless you know the exact search terms
The law isn't based around technical gotcha's but instead on how human judges judge things. It doesn't matter that, if in some very techincally-correct viewpoint, youtube-dl is in theory performing the same actions as a browser. youtube-dl is not a browser, you and I both know that.

After unity, I tried couple of DEs but then forced myself to stay with Gnome because I wanted to stop endless tinkering and get work done. I tried it for half a year and then switched to Sway, a tiling window manager.

Sway has little to no footprint. I have configured my system the way I like it. Now I do minor tweaks sometimes but nothing major. My entire configuration is in a single file! I am not going back to DEs ever.
Last I looked github issues had no good way to express dependencies between issues, which is used a lot in gecko's bugzilla.

So you may be right, but I'm not a MoCo employee so I won't be part of any decision about that. Also consider the cost of moving all the tooling that exists to github (in the specific context of gecko): a migration needs to bring a lot of benefits, especially if you take into account that gecko's canonical repo is a mercurial one, not git.

Improving onboarding for new contributors would be nice for sure, but "order of magnitude more contributions" seems optimistic. I mostly expect there would be tons of low quality issues filed.
Since this is an international forum:

In my time in Norway I've been helped by the police a number of times:

- As a guard, to take out some large bloke looking for a fight in a place where I worked

- In the same place after a teenager jumped at me in the middle of the night, this time I didn't even call them as they spotted it from a patrol car or something

- A few years ago I reported someone probably walking from door to door in the middle of the night looking for unlocked doors. Police arrived within 15 minutes, maybe a lot faster I cannot remember exactly.

At one point I was mildly hassled by 3 or four officers as I was photographing a very early sunrise in the city. Once they realized my camera was full not only of what looked like burglary research to them but also sunrises in the nature and landscapes and so one they let me go with a smile.

(The sun rises before 0400 in the summer around here so to most ordinary citizens I was probably weird.)
There are hundreds of millions if not billions of people happily doing this.

Let me be clear - I'm responding to a post about "Skyscrapers" in the Bay Area, which is a poorly defined term but if you say its 10 stories how many residential buildings of more that 10 stories do you believe exist in SF? I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life and literally zero people who have raised a family in a "Skyscraper" or high rise. New York is the only city I'm aware of where this is a common occurrence but even in those communities raising a family in a High-Rise is a sign of wealth.

There are not hundreds of millions of people raising families in Skyscrapers and high rises, there's likely not even enough inventory in those types of buildings for that statement to event make sense.

Interesting article, and all this time I've been blaming the streaming services for their incompetence with transcoding making everything dull, muddy, washed out with the wrong gamma, etc.

> Maybe I'm missing something. Why would I want to plug in my car at the parking lot to have it discharged into somebody else's? At the parking lot, I just want a charger.

If I've got easily enough range to get back, why wouldn't I want to sell some of that electricity at a higher price?

Being connected to the grid is more important though.

And on the flip side, I may want that so that my car is able to get the charge it needs in more places.
Quest 2 is a bit under 600g I think, not 200
I agree this is a concern, though more with phishing than social engineering.

An attacker site pretends to have their own "Login with HN" implementation, but asks users to put in a code generated from LoginWithHN.com itself.

If the user adds the code, then the attacker can impersonate the victim on any service that supports LoginWithHN.com (because of the special second-time login handling)

If the string was more explicit that it's for LoginWithHN.com, the victim is more likely to recognize that something phishy is going on.
I thought the idea of parse, don't validate is that your parser should contain validation logic.

So instead of

text -> generic json parser -> validate json -> ...

you would do

text -> custom json parser that stops if encounters "incorrect content" -> ...

They would certainly agree. Most of their work involves playing the cat-and-mouse game of youtube-dl vs. YouTube, all coming from the fact that YouTube never intended people to view their content using youtube-dl.
SCOTUS blocks vaccine mandate for large businesses, allows for health workers
> evidence

We are talking about a somewhat subjective topic here, so first you'd have to establish criteria to measure this, which works the other way around as well. Do you have evidence to show that the majority of games are "amazing and innovative"?

However let me try to make an argument: The example I replied to claims that "So many amazing and innovative games have come out in the last 5 years", the examples are games that stand out specifically because they are pretty different than the main stream.

Let's take a look at some numbers: in the years 2015-2021 a total of 49527 games released on Steam [1] alone, now to make a proper point for what I've said we'd have to make the number more accurate since I added some characteristics to my statements.

Nonetheless, imagine 49527 + total games released on console and then remove, let's say duplicates (re-releases, games released on multiple platforms etc.) from that list. Are you trying to tell me that if you take that resulting number that a significant percentage of that number are amazing and innovate games and that the number of "bad eggs" will be insignificant enough to deserve the classification "a few bad eggs" in a large pool?

I think that is a topic absolutely worth discussing, especially with a bit more time to spend on refining and looking at more numbers (like only AAA released, released with monetization etc.) and I find it absolutely possible that I am wrong in my sentiment, but so far I believe that your claim sounds "far from correct", or should I say "further from correct". And listing ~5 titles isn't enough to convince me, even if I add the very very good games I have played in the past 5 years (and I can certainly come up with a few dozen myself).

I have a very talented SWE friend who only left a now-public unicorn because they were recruited by a former colleague at a startup they knew wouldn't involve leetcode in the interview process.

I have another very talented SWE friend who has been doing leetcode exercises off and on for months and is struggling to start doing applications even though they do not like their current work and are undercompensated.

They fear they will fail algo / data structures and yet this person has an excellent public track record of quality contributions and comms in FOSS.

From what I've observed leetcode screens are problematic enough that they are causing market inefficiency.
Every USB-C port will be a PD sink and source, and we plan for replacement parts/schematics to be easily available so any repair shop or competent person can do a repair.

We're thinking about a separable battery for the V2. V1, too much complexity for now.

You'll be able to power it off the charger or any USB-PD source while charging the battery (provided it has enough power, but that should be doable).
Fuck it. Just announce that the rest of Ukraine is now under NATO protection and then let Russia choose the first move.
I’m confused by their obsession with youtube-dl. I don’t really know anyone that pirates music, seems like streaming has really solved that with ad-supported listening. The common cases for using youtube-dl, as I understand, is for archival (mostly non-music), watching videos content out of the browser (also mostly non-music), and derivative works purposes.

It's also way easier to have "good colors" (in a color theoretical sense) this way, and achieve a coherent and consistent look throughout the movie.
It's thus one of the best ways to keep budget down, as it will hide a lot of issues you'd have while filming, while generally requiring less work.
I believe it to be an important factor since full 3D movies have excellent color comps --see for instance Nathan Fowkes' works.

I am not sure the distinction you are making is philosophically defensible if you are not religious. Our consciousness is emergent out of physical processes.
The slides look correct to me but the video massively misrepresents what is actually going on. For example, you could cut the wire at both ends and the answer would not change, so the fact that there is a 'circuit' is irrelevant.
At least, René Manzor was eventually hired by Amblin.

That's because you've been sheltered from most of it; and most of the time it's "kept within the family," never made public, and simply swept under the rug -- so as to not "break apart the family" (at the cost of one victim).

People will allow all sorts of horrendous things to happen, if it serves their interests.

Father rapes his daughter? The mother refuses to believe it: thinks her daughter is only doing it for attention; doesn't want her "perfect" family image to get shattered (plus, daddy dearest pays the bills and funds her lifestyle). Same goes for extended family.

"It couldn't happen in our family." "You know how teenage girls are." "He would never do something like that. I've known him for decades."

Cognitively checking-out, because it's not their "problem." And other forms of dissonance.

It makes me think that all the controversy around video game violence decades ago was focused on the wrong issue, but there was a glimmer of something else that did ultimately come true. Video games do not motivate violent behavior because they're simply ineffective at motivating violent behavior. Having real-world violence attached to a video game can only damage revenue, so there's no point in designing the game to encourage it.

I think the only reason a lot of media does not cause full-blown riots is because the number of human behaviors that you can motivate which also have a profit advantage is very small in practice. But now that we've discovered the profitable method, what the doomsday forseers believed would be a more violent future instead became an attention-destroying future. The general principle is ultimately the same: we can now build games that are more effective at controlling our behavior than ever before.
Not sure if you have tried recent versions of Plasma but they have made a great deal of progress on all fronts including fixing a lot of bugs. I don't encounter any on day to day basis on Tumbleweed which gets you the latest version.
Oh, believe me. As somebody with a name that includes accents, and a surname that contains two words, with relatives whose names include internal capitalisation and apostrophes, I know _all_ about that.

The thing is that canonicalisation is a kind of sanitisation. As you mentioned, I personally prefer it to be done in real time. Sometimes it can't, however, you have to resort to munging, which is on the nastier end of sanitisation. Here's a short story:

AFNIC run the .fr registry, and they, unlike other registries, expect you to provide a contact's given name and surname separately. The joys of French bureaucracy. At my previous job (hosting provider and domain registrar), I built the company's domain management system. The systems in front of that didn't care about the form a person's name took so long as it was present, and most other domain registries are the same. There was no sensible way to get the applicant to enter them previously (this data was taken from the billing system). This necessitated that I build a library that could parse people's names, and I ended up developing a rather large number of heuristics for doing so as accurately as possible. It only covered the Latin alphabet, as that's all AFNIC would accept at the time, but it worked.

The problem is that most don't put that kind of thought into data sanitisation, and do things such as those you mentioned. And that's why we can't have nice things.
You don't need a tiling window manager to get everything in a single config file. Fluxbox has historically been great at this, while still being extremely light on resources.
Often yes, but it'll be much higher quality than 12Kb/s. But 12Kb/s is plenty for human speech to be comprehensible, though you'll generally notice the quality loss.

Plus, I haven't studied this but I don't think they reencode all old content. New videos seems consistent but older videos can have varying things available. Using bestaudio & ffmpeg will definitely get you a consistent result. I can't promise hard-coded -f options for specific formats will be reliable.
They have a lot of work to do, I would say look outside of the US and also technologies used by different vaccines worldwide.

A lot of the consternations fall apart, to me, when the aggregate response reaches the same conclusion, something impossible to be done by any guiding hand due to geopolitics.
You can restrict all sort of things, including of course a restricted subset of the language. Such solutions already have headcount at MS which is about as good as it gets for bringing a new thing like this to masses.

When it is released and as it matures we can extend it to do a bunch of other cool things like configuration DSL which would really help clean up Linux. Maybe even build scripts.

You could do stuff like this before with LISP, or Scala compiler plugins. But the tooling and accessibility will make a big difference.
