Actually, I must amend what I said: I was talking about Fira Mono rather than Fira Code. Fira Code fixes the r glyph (its default r glyph is excellent and its alternative perfectly respectable, still having narrowed the base line), and offers a better ampersand as an alternative. Dunno about the f ligations (ﬀ, ﬁ, &c.), hopefully they ditched that madness (even if they’re opt-in discretionary ligatures in Fira Mono—they just have absolutely no place in a monospaced font, dlig or no dlig).
Their github repo goes back to 1.4.0 or so around Apr 2014; their changelog goes back to 1.0.0. Go 1.0 was released March 2012. GopherJS' first commit is showing as Aug 2013. I'm not sure what GoJS' first release is but it seems likely to me it predated the Go project that really looks like "GoJS" and plausible that it predated Go 1.0 entirely.

So it looks like just one of those things.
I traded LIBOR instruments that were probably manipulated, and there was suspicion at the time. Same with FX, there was a cartel manipulating that as well, and people in my firm also wondered at times why things were moving around at the exact wrong time.

It's probably best that the LIBOR system goes in favor of something more transparent. But I have a friend who is involved in the transition at a bank, and it's incredibly complex to move over such a huge mass of contracts to this new thing. Definitely a lot of work for a lot of people.
Is that an "if", though? In C/C++, you could write that as:

if (clauseB && clauseC)
predicateA = true;
else
predicateA = false;

which is clearly an "if". Or you could write it as:

predicateA = claseB && clauseC;

which is not an "if" at all, but just a boolean calculation. (Unless you regard all boolean calculations as "if"s in disguise...)

The prolog version seems to me to be more in the spirit of the second C version.
That is a dubious argument in its own right. Inventors undertake the considerable effort of inventing and then pay the expense of filing a patent application while disclosing their invention to the public for the reward of a limited monopoly which they would then have to defend in court, again at their expense. Your argument says they are not motivated To promote the progress of science and useful arts but they seem pretty motivated to me.
How long does it take from when Purism has hardware until they sell it? Pine64 it isn't very long.

Different models, I'm glad Pine has this one as it is useful. That doesn't mean others are wrong models, but you can't be both.
I too like background noise - I just use a noise generating app on my phone. My bedside clock has dock for the phone with some nice speakers - and I use it more for that than anything else.

There are all kinds of noise generating apps - if you like traffic/freeway sounds there are lots that provide that kind of noise. The best are ones that have multiple tracks playing at once with samples that start at random places so you don't get a repeating audio pattern. I found with simpler noise generating apps (or devices like from sharper image) that have repeating loops I will eventually detect the loop and then instead of using the noise to help me relax I'm counting the seconds until the loop repeats. Very counter productive!
Maybe "Show HN: A browser extension to help make better food choices"? It wasn't clear to me you were only showing a new browser extension, not the whole concept.

Well for example your browser-extension page was published in December 2021, but the footer says "Copyright 2020", should it perhaps say "2021"? "2020-2021"? "2020-2022"?
Crypto.com and its customers are willing parties who can transact with each other using this system, I'm not sure what your point is. The problem here is that one party trusted another party to hold on to their funds, and the holding party lost the funds. How is that an indictment of the protocol itself?

Or put another way, how does Crypto.com and other centralized systems prevent me from using Bitcoin the "right" way?

Agreed, I scanned to see if there were pictures of examples and closed the article when I saw there were none. It’s a worthless article without pictures.

That's fascinating. I remember hearing there about a giant book on import taxes on apparel with various definitions. For instance, "sandals" may be taxed X but "open toed shoes" may be taxed Y. Apparently these rates drive fashion trends to an incredible degree where even small modifications to a product could totally change the economics.

You can fire people for misconduct.

If I had an employee that I repeated told not to get drunk and crawl around hitting on coworkers. I would fire that person if they didn’t stop. To be perfectly blunt, I would have fired them right away, but I’m Danish, we can do such things with little repercussions since it’s so blatantly insane that they would have no ground to defend their actions.

Also what is with that address, A108 Adam Street with a Manhattan zip code that doesn’t exist? Google seems to place it at City Hall Park in lower Manhattan, which definitely isn’t a place that receives mail. There’s also a long list of scammy looking companies using that address.

Edit: also looks like Google maps places it at the park down by Dumbo. Very weird.
> I understand you just lose all your Google Play purchases and need to re-purchase any apps or subscriptions you want to keep. I'm assuming this will basically require an Android phone factory reset and to be setup fresh with a "new" Google account for the old email address? Is this the case?

You understand wrong.

You do not lose access to your purchases. You will still have a Google Account (with your own custom domain), it's just that after the conversion from G-Suite Legacy to Workspace, if you stop paying it it will not allow you to access the "core" products (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, whatever).

Nothing stops you from moving your e-mail somewhere else but still keeping the Google Account with that domain.
I joined a project that used it back in 2014. What I found was that the documentation ended up being about as useful as reading the header files, and less useful once you open the code in an IDE that allows semantic browsing.

OTOH, if someone does take the time to document the header files, they blow up in size significantly.

I don't like it. Better to just keep documentation up to date and keep the two separate. Comments should be concise, documentation should be more verbose, IMHO.

In case you're not being facetious: It just means that Color Star's advertisements are no longer visible in the 76ers' arena (because the partnership was terminated).
This isn't about encryption at all, it's about a function that Signal doesn't have: Public and searchable groups.

A Signal group is private to the members, always and by design. You can only join by knowing someone in the group, and only read the messages by being in the group. Telegram has groups that you can find by searching, and that you can join and read without knowing anyone else in the group. That kind of group is central to several of the big problems in German society at the moment.
Ignoring the rest of your argument, 9000 is six tomes 1500 and there are nine million values in between (assuming costs have a resolution of tenths-of-a-cent). There was a bug, and the decision to feed the maximum value into the computer system to keep the lights on makes sense. But to think that should be the real cost doesn't.
Celtics vs 76ers game last Friday. NBA games tend to have a lot of banner ads and anyone paying attention could have noticed that there were no Color Star banners to be seen during the game.
Yeah this just screams clickbait. "Let's create a title that makes no sense, followed by an entire article with a strained metaphor".
That's a really good point and something we should be talking about as a tech community. For our extension, it's "active" if you're on a retailer page we support and not active when you're elsewhere on the web. The extension overlays information onto the product page which is why we need to be "active" - we give a food score + show you whether it's compliant with your dietary needs (this one is a paid feature so needs to be unlocked). Doing this allows us to remove the friction around needing to "click" to get the relevant info so our lens is it makes shopping easier, but maybe we're missing something important about privacy. Will you share a bit more about the concerns you'd have with us being able to see your shopping on AmazonFresh for example? To answer your question - I routinely use a few extensions (Honey, Dashlane, and, of course, Sift) but I do find that I'm more selective about Browser Extensions installs than Mobile App installs.
To be fair, Edge is also Chromium-based (I guess that's what the previous author meant, rather than specifically Chrome-only).

But yeah, I'm also hoping for WebUSB to make its way to other browsers, but for now I'll take any improvement to building & distributing apps across many operating systems at once :)
If you have a multi tenant server and don’t want to provide root access to users but want them to be able to run containers, otherwise it’s probably not necessary
Arch shows some warnings about unprivileged user namespaces but it is enabled by default I believe which allows for rootless podman/docker. I didn't realize we'd actually see an exploit so soon
Excellent study. The dive into photogrammetry of this author's articles show some interesting new points of view
Copying and pasting and adding numbers is violent editorial surgery and allows the respondent to cherry pick quotes and remove them from context.
In a public discussion, it provides a public performance that might lead spectators to imagine the respondent read everything.

As a general form, it implies that the first comment wasn't very clear and/or it's thinking not well organized...while of course showing that the response is well structured thought.

On the other hand, all stakeholders consent to Shisa Kanko in the context where it is used, and the communication channel is strongly bounded. The channel excludes opinions, expressions of deep feeling, and open ended questions. There's no circumspection.

Yeah, on said antique chair there is some old wood glue. I imagine the friction joints wore down over time and the glue was poorly slopped in in an attempt to keep the thing together, but that glue, too, failed. I suspect the original did not have glue.

Things wear down, and about the only thing you can hope for is replaceable parts. Chair of Theseus, indeed!
There's also the Ford vs Chicken Tax; basically U.S. import tariff for passenger van is 2.5% and cargo van is 25%, so Ford, which manufactured their Transit van in Turkey, installed seats in factory and stripped the seats once they arrived in the U.S.

Now looks like they are in trouble for this scheme.

This is only true if you assume or demonstrate that alcohol has no benefits to individuals that outweigh the downside risk to health. As the downside appears to be relatively small, this seems like a fairly difficult bar to clear.
> We'd like to maintain feature parity with JavaScript unless there's a compelling reason not to.

And ladies and gentlemen, the generated code...

> Otherwise I find it hard to limit my cynicism when enormous amounts of money are involved.

You should always be cynical when large amounts of money are involved. It helps you avoid large losses.

Side note - one of the best questions to ask in any deal is “how are you making money on this”. If the other party doesn’t tell you, then they probably know something that they don’t want you to know. If you doesn’t get a straight answer, walk away [0].

[0] - I work in finance and never do business with someone who is not transparent about this. Been doing it a long time and it serves me well. I learned it from an old hand, and cringes the first few times he asked it. Then, I got the nerve to ask why he asked such a cringeworthy question. Glad I did!

> Last night, the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers played a basketball game in an arena in Philadelphia. If you were looking carefully (I write sarcastically), you may have noticed that the interior of the arena looks different from how it has recently – the advertisements for Color Star, which had been everywhere (I write hyperbolically), were now missing.
The benefits of Kubernetes aren't worth its immense complexity in most organizations. If you want to put things in containers, just use Docker Swarm.
It's more about expected supply and demand under certain constraints than any particular winterizing technology. Cold weather spikes (or stretches) are expected in the north.

It's sort of like asking why Northern or Western coastal cities don't have better hurricane protection or levees. It's not needed or worth the investment, even if New England does get an occasional hurricane. Despite federal flood protection mandates.

Asking what Southern and Gulf Coast cities do to prepare is a valid question, but doesn't justify taking the same precautions.

A better comparison is perhaps a windless summertime high pressure system causing rolling blackouts in California or Chicago. When was the last time you heard the spot price publicized during a summertime blackout?

Was it blamed on the equipment not being sufficiently designed for operation during an infrequent heat wave? Or on lack of planning? Or just blamed on the "freak" heat and possibly global warming?

The Texas event is a bit more complex due to underlying and transitioning infrastructure buildout where NG plays a much larger role, but its roughly the same as far as expectations go.

And the bigger takeaway should be that overdemand/undersupply of NG in cold weather is a runaway condition, but mainly due to pressure drops at the wells, not lack of insulation. Expected spikes don't cause pressure drops.

> Often, the simple innovations are the best ones - yet, the simple innovations are also the ones most easily copy-able.

Simple innovations are also the ones that are most easy to accidentally create yourself. "The most obvious way to do it". In cases like this patents are frequently a hindrance as a company needs to find a less efficient and more complex way to solve a problem because the obvious solutions is being squatted by a patent troll that demands far too much for the small but critical piece of infrastructure.

Or worse, the patent troll uses various tricks to delay award of the patent until the industry has implemented the technology on millions of platforms and then surprises everybody with mass infringement lawsuits.

The patent process would probably be improved if before awarding a patent they asked a panel of experts how they would solve the problem that the patent solves. If the experts come up with the same solution in a short period of time then the patent is not awarded. Something has to be truly novel to be worthy of patent protection. Unfortunately this is not practical with the current volume of patents working through the system.
To quibble, something can be "unsafe" i.e. harm you in certain ways, and also carry health benefits, since "health benefits" does not merely translate to "life expectancy". In fact for the study in question, compare impact on different organs; for some there is a harm, for others a marginal benefit (if I remember correctly).

This is the problem with pop sci headlines, they don't give you context. If one study finds that some compound has potential benefits in one specific physiological region, the news will read "x is good for your health", and vise versa.

Looking at just mortality, we can more accurately say, for those touting this study, "there is no evidence alcohol consumption improves mortality", and also "low alcohol consumption may weakly worsen mortality rates".

If you want to nitpick go all the way.

It's fully solar because a long time ago the sun got hot and the solar system got put together and that combination resulted in life and then later some sample of that life built a website with materials extracted from what the sun did to the original mess.
That's also what it measures, as measured by the people doing the estimation of creditworthiness, who are the experts in understand how to measure that value.

If anyone else was more accurate at this measurement, then they had arbitrage against those using the measure, giving those doing the initial measurement incentive to get it as right as is humanly possible, since they usually worked at places that use LIBOR to price things.

Since LIBOR underlied hundreds of trillions in assets, there are ample papers on all aspects of LIBOR, including those trying to see how well it was computed versus post outcomes.

It holds up well. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C14&q=LIB...

I can definitely notice the water, yes. Even regardless of temperature and pressure, there is no way to make absolutely no movements (unless you're dead, and even then ...) which means the water will be in motion, which is very obviously noticeable on body hair.

Sure, but this is a different statement - it's more like saying "yes, the sensation is noticeable, but the point is to learn to ignore it" which is different from "there is no sensation".
I don't think anyone is having trouble understanding dose-dependency. There's just a separate question regarding whether some substances should have no acceptable dose, and when we should make that distinction.

Things like nicotine are thought to be pretty much not worth consuming in any situation. Things like lead have no "allowable dose". Maybe alcohol should be treated similarly to cigs. This is a totally defensible position, that's worth discussing.

Ok, now we're all curious why that is.
It doesn't have to be a person sized tank. If you are on the claustrophobic side there appear to be facilities that have entire rooms with a tank in the middle - no close walls. And you don't have to be completely silent or dark in your experience; they all appear to let you select your preference for lighting and sound. Many have underwater speakers if you prefer to have music or something like white noise.

Like with many things, there isn't necessarily a right or wrong way :)

I've always been curious, but never thought to see if there were isolation tanks out there you could just rent on demand - and it turns out there are several places quite close to me - with a variety of options for types, styles and sizes of tanks/rooms. I may have to give it a try.
I assume that `size + len + 2` can't overflow :)
Love this. It's such a human weakness to think that "if I can just get ___ into perfect shape, my life will be perfect". Perfect is the enemy of good, and of getting stuff done. Embracing the mess feels like a better, more authentic strategy for a tooling company.
