Hi, I'm the author. That language was intended to specifically say that Natural Docs' license doesn't affect the rest of the documentation, let alone the project it's documenting, but without forfeiting my copyright to those particular files. If there's language that I could include to make this even clearer I'd be happy to.

In my opinion shipping code plus documentation generated by Natural Docs does not cause the code to fall under the AGPL, as you are bundling it rather than making a derivation of it. You could argue that the documentation is a derivation of it, but that's what I try to explicitly disavow above.
OMG, I was wondering why they waited so far down in the article to describe the pronunciation. Only after seeing your comment did it click!
The guidelines and zillions of moderation comments are pretty explicit that doesn't count as 'on topic'. You can always hang some rage-subthread off the unrelated perfidy, real or perceived, of some entity or another. This one is extra tenuous and forced given that 'the type of company I'd want to work for' is a generic expression of approval/admiration.
The usual way this works (and I assume this is the case for Roblox) is not by constructing buildings, but by renting space in someone else's datacentre.

Pretty much every city worldwide has at least one place providing power, cooling, racks and (optionally) network. You rent space for one or more servers, or you rent racks, or parts of a floor, or whole floors. You buy your own servers, and either install them yourself, or pay the datacentre staff to install them.
None of what you are saying makes any sense. My water meter reads down to tenths of a gallon. That is a tiny amount of water. If I open the valve and it starts spinning like a clock, I've got a leak. Do you think I'd just walk away and think "Oh well, I guess it just takes 500 gallons to fill the toilet!". I'd have to be blindfolded to not notice this.
Takeout is "fine" for core services (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts) but unusable for anything involving activities and events. Examples:

- Google Maps search history, custom maps, stars

- Google Photos albums, comments, activity

- Google Search activity

- YouTube stuff, of any kind (unless you use something like Soundiiz, but even then it's nothing like Google Play Music was where your files were YOUR FILES, and somethings aren't available on the streaming platforms)
Awesome. Thank you for the confirmation.

Sucks that it won't transfer the history but I am glad that I can at least keep the number and move it over.
With modemmanager you get a lot of nice stuff for "free", like automatic reconnect, DHCP, good logging, and an APN database (useful if you don't provide your own SIMs). It also allows you to easily set up correct priorities between WiFi and LTE, both for routing and DNS. Especially DNS is something I didn't think about at first, but the DNS server provided by your LTE connection is not always reachable over your WiFi/ethernet connection.

This is the config I'm using: https://github.com/commaai/agnos-builder/blob/master/userspa...

You can run modemmanager in debug mode, which allows you to send AT commands over dbus (or mmcli) in case you still want to configure some stuff manually or get debug info.

There is no shortage of people all over the political spectrum who absolutely abhor the status quo of law enforcement in the US. You could have had the problem fixed already if you a) didn't go off half cocked with a stupid slogan that appeals to pretty much nobody b) thrown the conservatives a bone by abolishing the ATF or something.
> We recommend the new #somePrivateField syntax for a straightforward reason: these two features are roughly equivalent.

The author of the article surely knows the significant difference between JS private fields and TS private fields: TS private fields can be easily circumvented, whereas JS private fields cannot. See TS playground link[1]

I think this is a significant enough point that people should not be taught that TS's private is just a different way of doing the same thing. I've always said that TS is basically a fancy linter, and sometimes that's exactly what you want.

TS's private keyword communicates programmer intent, but lets you do what you like when you really have to. Just like the rest of TS.

> Unfortunately, all of the other _regions_ - not AZs, but _regions_, rely on the STS service in us-east-1, which meant that customers which had built around Amazon’s published reliability model had services in every region impacted by an outage in one specific availability zone.

That's not true. STS offers regional endpoints, for example if you're in Australia and don't want to pay the latency cost to transit to us-east-1 [1]. It's up to the user to opt into them though. And that goes back to what I was saying earlier, you need engineers willing to read their docs closely and architect systems properly.

Is this option enabled by default? I don't this it is and I don't think they actually set it manually anywhere.

EDIT: I think we're talking about two different options. I meant the ability to leave sync turned on but change the data structure.
My parents have been Windows users since the 90s and I am regularly their IT person to solve their computer issues (which have been aplenty!). I somehow managed to convince my mom to switch to a Mac Mini about 5 years ago whereas my dad refuses to switch. I get far more calls from my dad about issues with Windows than I get from my mom. As such, I recommend all my friends and their younger siblings to get a Mac. Even if it's just for taking notes in law school. It just works.
Yeah, I have super mixed feelings about this. It's ripe for abuse, but at the same time I've wanted this exact functionality for a while to avoid all the bots. I also have a bunch of people blocked that a mute would do just fine for, I just don't want to see their 4 posts every single day clogging up the subreddit.

Here's to hoping there's another update that addresses these issues.

Fair enough. I see your point. It's not material for ShowHN
> You can absolutely analyze real world mass vaccination data in a scientific way. Just treat pre-vaccination and post-vaccination as two different patients.

Yes, you can do this. No, it's not the same.

With this kind of uncontrolled, longitudinal study, yes, some things are quasi-controlled: genetics, possibly lifestyle, other drugs, etc. Anything that plausibly doesn't change (much) in a single person from time A to time B.

Some things you can't control for, but still matter: changes in behavior due to the event itself. Placebo effect. Sample bias (e.g. the patients receiving treatment X were selected to receive treatment X because it was felt that they would benefit from it. This is subtle, but can really mislead. In the example of vaccination, imagine that the people most likely to vaccinate their young kids are also the ones most likely to keep their kids isolated at home, in a protective bubble...)

> So if your post-vaccination population has a rate of heart attacks 80% lower than the established norm, you know that is worth further investigation.

The key part of that is the last three words: worth further investigation. To get the final answer, you still need a controlled experiment.
Using terms like sideloading is precisely why the vast majority of the public doesn't give a damn about this issue.Free 'social experiment' idea: ask everyone who was a smartphone what is sideloading, what is installing, what's the difference and what's common.

Altering our language to appease companies and somehow pretend like sideloading means something different than installing is why we're losing, precisely because it's a tactic to erase correlation of the word and the meaning.
While I agree with your well intentioned sentiment, “intent” is even more nebulous and arguable.
I'm not GP but in the 90s I was taught that bigger = better, and to some degree that was true, if you were into old (ergo, very expensive) tech.

In the days before the internet, technology was niche (as was the knowledge to develop and operate it) and super expensive, so only mega corps had decent tech to work with.

This reputation persisted for sometime into the new millennium until we started to see more of these scruffy younguns starting to make noise in the business, and techno, spheres.
He seems to think that his inability to charge people with misdemeanors may lead to other crimes, quite a leap if you ask me.

I think it may just be a talking point in the police force.
What is your full name and address? Age? Weight? Height? Eye color? Blood pressure? What STDs do you have, if any? How often and how much do you drink? Smoke? Any history of drug use? Mental disorders? What about your family?

Where is the bad thing in you posting this information here right now?

Actually, that's not even analogous. A better analogy would be you post all this info under a pseudonym -- e.g., "rvnx" or something like that -- and then the mods doxing you without your consent.
I don't even see an option to manually select a stereo track anymore. They seem to have removed it from my Smart TV's app.
Absolutely, and not only in a strictly physical sense (i.e. it's contained within it). Mental acuity into old age is strengthened by continued exercise and fitness - damaging the body so that it is less able to physically operate damages the potential of the mind.

Even if you want to step into the realm of the philosophy of mind[1] - there still are rather clear portions of the mind that are physically linked and a pretty wide consensus on the feedback of bodily strength to a healthy mind. Modern dualism accepts that a lot of mental functions are either enabled or assisted by our physical brain goop and classical dualism still assumed the definition of some crossover point where the metaphysical abstract expression of thought was translated into physical signals that triggered actions in the body - the existence of pain reactions necessitates a fair amount of our mental processing having the direct involvement of physical systems.

As we've seen in the past 2 years, there's no real positive benefit to society to frequent business flying (at pre-pandemic levels).

Like smoking, we don't need to completely ban air travel. The equivalent would be severely limiting it (for example, prohibiting business flying).
The End of the Tech Neck – Reclining Workstation
Isn't it weird that in essence our workspace has not really changed that much in the last thousand or so years? It is still a Table and a Chair. We still hunch over and we still accept all associated health problems as unavoidable. Time to make ourselves comfortable and wrap the tech around us instead the other way round.
Ahh buisness. The econonmic driver that keeps on driving, looking for tax breaks where-ever they can get them. Big buisness, you made your bed, now sleep in it.

You missed the bit about 50+yrs of racism and class war fare that has created the America you live in today. Not a policy change from last year my friend. You are living in a sickness, just because you now are starting to to turn the tide, does not mean you will not have to deal with ongoing side-effects while the transition happens.

At one point, we need to realise that this IS Capitalism. This IS the SYSTEM. This IS the product. Haves, and have nots. At some point, the have nots will not respect the system that entrenches them in servatude. That is why the Romans weaponised religious practices, fear of death is the only thing that overrides all...
Trust in institutions through difficulty of a global cover-up requiring the cooperation of nearly two hundred countries across nearly ten billion doses administered? Sure.
It's probably not very useful, and I agree with you that most policies will have side effects (I kind of came to that conclusion after I posted it). I don't think the point here is to have any concrete/right answer, but as a thought exercise it is interesting. Thinking about it from this perspective made me become a bit less judgmental against those who think not pulling the lever is the right thing to do. In the end, both sides have their arguments (but I still think the pros far outweigh the cons).

>what does it matter if your kernel is fast and featureful if you cannot trust it?

And if the kernel is Linux, I'm not so sure about fast.

Relative to Linux, seL4 has:

- Order of magnitude faster context switch.

- Order of magnitude lower scheduler latency.

- Order of magnitude faster Inter-Process Communication.
It's funny hearing this, because it's so clear to me that the opposite is the case. If you were an alien and you observed alcohol use on Earth for a few years you'd have no trouble concluding that it's almost certainly harmful even in small doses.

But humans like alcohol, so they do not want this to be true.
It's difficult to know how quickly word could have spread, but I enjoy knowing a few 11 year olds learned something about the Internet in order to play a game an hour early.
Gun violence spiked in 2020, and continued to increase in 2021.

https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/past-tolls

"Homicide" is a fungible term, one that is gamed by city officials and prosecutors that want to show lower violence levels in their city.

Gun violence totals are much harder to game. And those continue to rise in the US.
I am naive about the reality on the ground when it comes to this issue, but doesn't this hinge on transparency? If they can show they are covering costs + the going market rate, which seems to be 30% (at best), then wouldn't it be reasonable? So is a 45% cut for infra ok or not seems to be the question.
The thought that makes me most uncomfortable is the idea that we're reading code written by a dumb process, not a living thing. Dumb physical processes shouldn't be able to compose anything. It's like we broke into the universe's private files and found an infinity of insane scribbling, about us. It's uncanny.
More egregiously, they're (per your article) manipulating kids into buying real ads for their creations, with the false promise that "you could get rich -- if you pay us".

>"As there are no discoverability tools, users are only able to see a tiny selection of the millions of experiences available. One of the ways boost to discoverability is to pay to advertise on the platform using its virtual currency, Robux."

(Note that this "virtual" currency is real money, bidirectionally exchangeable with USD).

The sales pitch is "get rich fast":

>"Under the platform’s ‘Create’ tab, it sells the idea that users can “make anything”, “reach millions of players”, and “earn serious cash”, while its official tutorials and support website both “assume” they are looking for help with monetisation."

I agree that this doesn't really look like a labor issue. That's distracting and contentious tangent; it's easier to just label this as a kind of consumer exploitation. (Most of the people involved aren't earning money -- but they are all paying money). It's a scam either way.
Please show the data that claims that double vaccinated are more likely to be infected than unvaccinated people by Omicron. And raw infection counts are not an answer here as the vaccinated and unvaccinated people are clearly not matched populations you can compare without adjustments.
I made no assertions about their reasoning for not prosecuting thieves other than the general benefit of the doubt that their intentions are good.
That is problem of the laws governing the use of the funds, not a problem of policing per se.
> It wasn't until the '80s that we got a fairly solid (and popular) understanding of the mechanisms of broadcasting

Curious what you mean by "the mechanisms of broadcasting" here--what discovery/formalization/legislation/else do you mean?
Again, as across-thread: this is a tangent unrelated to the actual story, which is interesting for reasons having nothing at all to do with Roblox (I'll never use it, but operating HashiStack at this scale is intensely relevant to me). We need to be careful with tangents like this, because they're easier for people to comment on than the vagaries of Raft and Go synchronization primitives, and --- as you can see here --- they quickly drown out the on-topic comments.
Well, you don't care about that, either. Because the entire behaviour of every single public person from Chrome team has been:

- deflect

- pretend Chrome-only APIs are standards

- gaslight other browser vendors

You are not different, and there's literally nothing in this world will stop you, and nothing I say or do can ever even begin to approach the behaviour of the Chrome team.

So, do hold up the mirror to your actions first.
I just installed Google's plugin. Used to be that they only put ads in the sidebar, but this is new. OTOH, I made like $13 bucks overnight with the traffic this drove. :-)

I'll look at my options to control location in the plugin. Right now it's just letting them "optimize" placement.

Mostly, I've had a half dozen blogs over the last 26 years. This might feel spammy because I recently migrated from a static site back to WordPress, and have been slowly adding back old content from that site and the one it replaced, so there's not a ton of content right now.
Respondeat superior means the employer is also liable, not solely liable. Again, the tortfeasor is always liable. Iaal.
It did seem odd for NYT, and a bit of an annoying distraction in an important story. On the other hand, I'm surprised they let someone experiment like that.
You can buy in bulk at chinese store and add some smoke flavour or paprika and wham! New Product! (Oh No!) :)
And I prefer to see judges and lawyers as safety valves for mitigating badly written legislation.
They also went after AwardWallet and told them to shut it down.

This is certainly an opinion, but I think there are plenty of alternatives out there that can do a better job at enabling fun having without causing nearly as much bodily damage or functional impairment. We have a variety of choices in both the natural and pharmaceutical realms.
It’s much harder than that to prevent fingerprinting, or the use of legitimate APIs for illegitimate purposes.

In any case the idea that you can achieve privacy and security solely through managing APIs is simply false.
I understand what you say, but a tiny Alabama town is just… a tiny Alabama town. I totally get that things change from state to state, that some states are huge. But from tiny town to tiny town?
It's mentioned in the pine64 developer chats when discussing this with megi, that +4-1 patch is a joke compared to the amount of patched code in the megi tree.
How does this not fail when tested?

Or how do you start manipulating urls and not just realize this is inevitable / words have these strings inside them…?

Why exactly is this problem? I personally see a problem with having laws that we enforce only if the offender is black, or a similar discretion or bias of the policeman.
Thanks so much for all of this detail and information! Sounds like LinkedIn takes their courses pretty seriously. I'll have to look into this more.
We could imagine a very different society with much less consumption of alcohol but people still being equally happy. If someone is made to feel unhappy when they don't drink because everyone around them is doing so, the fact that then consuming alcohol makes them happier shouldn't be pointed to as evidence the person is making a good trade off between bodily harm and happiness.
I agree. The symbol combinations may have different meaning depending on where they appear. Replacing raw symbols with ligatures will create confusion.

I was using this font in Rider when JetBrains made it the default, but gave up after several months. The ligatures were giving me a pause still. The effect was opposite to ease of reading the code.
Oh thanks for correcting me! My bad, I did not see that.

I assumed it was a developer because in my experience with issue trackers, it's always been developers who get assigned to fix things. And this looks more like an issue tracker than a tier 1 support site. But if that's the case, my point stands - it was the wrong canned response for the support representative to use.

I can't tell one way or the other from that interface the roles of all involved. But I'm not sure it matters.

Sorry, 63% of browser usage is dominant, but not a monopoly by any means. The web is just as accessable on other browsers.
I have this little idea I think about called the "status update chain". When I worked in small organizations and we had issues the status update chain looked like this: ceo-->me, as the organizations got larger the chain got longer first it was ceo-->manager-->me then ceo-->director-->manager-->me and so on. I wonder how long the status update chains are at companies like this? How long does at status update take to make it end to end?
Is this an actual issue? Is it possible you are just being too harsh on yourself?
That's easy to do, just don't enable them in your editor.
> It is lawmakers responsibility to craft quality laws.

Judging by how hard it is for programmers to write bug-free instructions for literal computers, I'm not sure your expectation of flawless legislation is something realistic for mere mortals.

There are no databases that you can link against if you strip out the major identifiers (like city and date of birth).

That's true. And I agree that the vaccines have saved lives - mostly, of the old and the very sick/unhealthy.

However, what is less clear today is whether there has been a net positive or negative effect of the vaccine for young healthy people. You can only come to that conclusion if you actually had high quality data and studies on vaccine side-effects, effectiveness in population groups stratified by age, health, etc.

I suspect that the vaccines, mandates, lockdowns, etc. have been a net negative for the overall health of young (<50), and healthy people, and the body of scientific evidence will support this position in the future. It's just cloudy today because it's wrapped up in politics...but the science will eventually win out.
In a not-too-distant alternate universe, they made the rookie assumption that every change to every system is trivially reversible, only to find that it's not always true (especially for storage or storage-adjacent systems), and ended up making things worse. Naturally, people in alternate-universe HN bashed them for that too.
