I remember reading about a team (I think in Japan) which had a "brash foreigner." If someone noticed something, they'd mention it to the foreigner, who would bring it up with higher ups. Everybody won. Problems got fixed, the foreigner was safe because they "didn't know better," and their coworkers felt safe.
One more reason to use youtube-dl / yt-dlp then?
Interestingly, riding a bicycle has higher greenhouse impact than a car. Because, you see, the human body requires more high-quality food and that has the biggest footprint of any human activity.

It's complicated. There's always more nuance than we want to admit. All those insisting its somehow simple because they've figured out one factor (see other comments in this thread) are always being naieve.
We should just create a revision for RFC 2616 to extend the GET method to allow request bodies. Most HTTP frameworks already support this behaviour anyway.

You can define closed sets positively as well. A closed set is one which includes its whole boundary. An open set is one which excludes its whole boundary. Clearly then it is possible for a set to contain only part of its boundary, in which case it's neither closed nor open. Somewhat less obviously, it's possible for a set's boundary to be empty, in which case it is both closed and open.
So Portugal has twice as less addict than the US, even though drug users don't risk anything legally, while in the US using drugs once can mean decades in jail.

Prohibition isn't the important factor here.

Dealers get shot on sight in Brazil or in The Philippines, that's not just prohibition, that's state-sponsored murder, at scale and that doesn't stop anyone.

It's not unclear if you're not looking at an extremely small subset of extremely rich and privileged people.
There's just no way that can happen while there are no overlapping common goals and incentives.

Think about that!
Luckily, you get a nice discount if you can stay out of the currency long term and qualify for long term capital gains.

Basically, currency inflation is very well designed to suck value out of the poor and working class while the rich have plenty of breathing room to float through the flood.
Similarly to as if you were using POST requests I'd say. So if you want the users to be able to navigate to a URL and get the same results for a POST request, you'd make the client-side read URL parameters and sculpt the POST request and send it.
> Most people in America want to live in low-traffic suburbs

Most people in America also don't know of alternatives because they've been taken away. We don't have to make people want to live in the inner city. We have to show them that driving isn't the only solution to transportation problems.

If you could have a small market in a neighborhood that provides basic necessities, we could probably eliminate a lot of vehicular traffic. But zoning and parking minimums don't allow for that.
Only in perfectly spherical, frictionless free markets that aren't applicable to reality. Practically changes happen quicker than a supply chain can adjust, and that can leave people without critical supplies.
Generally speaking, you can reduce the combinatorics in tests by using techniques like cause effect graphing (from The Art of Software Testing). It also contains notation for cases that "can't happen".
It's very technical so I'm not sure if it will solve your problem.
As someone who uses a graphics tablet (Wacom) I'm glad Xorg is somehow actively developed again or I would just switch to Mac/Windows.

I tried Wayland for around four years (GNOME, sway, KDE), almost daily. I have a multiple monitor setup. I always had to switch back to Xorg for several reasons, like:

- iBus CJK support was horrible. Languages like English, Russian or Spanish don't need that but Japanese/Chinese needs it. Things like the suggestions window was completely broken (misplaced and disappeared randomly). I used several tricks to work around it but it was quite uncomfortable.

- Wine refusing to work half of the time (even with the Virtual Desktop)

- VSync not working with games (making my GPU go 100%)

- Applications crashing for no apparent reason.

- XWayland crashing completely... Even the whole compositor would crash randomly making me lose all my work.

- But the worst thing was the drawing tablet. It was completely broken. Things like pen sensibility (quite important to get details right), screen locking (it's useless to draw with less than half of the tablet!) and top buttons.

I used Wayland since it was really smooth with an old Intel GPU. The Xorg experience was quite unstable (I couldn't find the right compositor configuration). One day I was quite fed up, got a new rig with an AMD GPU and removed Wayland completely. Compared with Wayland, even with its quirks, Xorg just works.
This post needs a ton of evidence, considering there is no such thing as a domestic or international FaceTime call.
I kept a very small focus list of folks; technology only. Sadly, a lot of those folks would engage with others on political topics etc. and then my timeline would get flooded.

that's what I would think, it's got to be quantifiable: some sensitivity metric of the concentration of virus particles the device can detect vs the minimum quantity which is needed for infection. It's clear we can articulate these matters in the abstract, how does one go about actually measuring such a thing?
Wouldn't a good automation process compare the output and input filesizes and return whichever was smaller?

I re-ordered the quotes a bit, but I'm reasonably confident I didn't misrepresent what he was trying to say. The counter-arguments after this are good, but the first couple of things are, imo, already sufficient to make HTTPS a very very important thing.

Wouldn't it have been interesting if the article had made any mention of that? It's an obvious question, I agree.

That's why I dismiss the article as pseudo-scientific nonsense. They've barely scratched the surface of the issue.
either extension method seems a lost cause, given that most browsers/web servers don't fully support the 7 existing http verbs, even with decades to do so.
I'm happy they called out the behavior and also didn't break this website's back with a crazy fine. I imagine it's a mistake millions of other sites are committing.
Agreed, the best way to fix our problems with cars is to invest in public transportation and shifting car users to use bikes/e-bikes.
Make sense. My anecdotal experience in third world money changing is the banks are most strict. The gray-market exchangers are a little more liberal and then private to private transaction is the most liberal. Paraguayan banks straight up refuse to take certain year of $100 notes because they were burned by some forger years ago, so they just black-list entire series of notes no matter how crisp and authentic they are.
@dang will sometimes boost a post later on.
I find that there are two main mental models of the world, mappers and packers.

Mappers have a model of the world in their head, much like a puzzle. Any new information is attempted to match up with that puzzle. One interesting thing is when you discover that your map may have large sections that don't line up the way you thought they did. This can happen when you learn a new thing about science, technology, human relationships, history, etc...

A mapper will ponder, for minutes, sometimes days, in the background, all the implications of this new knowledge, and often come up with novel and interesting things to try as a result.

----

Packers, on the other hand, are oriented towards having lists that they can follow to accomplish a task. I once worked with an extreme packer, and it all worked well once I understood that if there were ANY deviations that the instructions didn't cover, I'd get a call about it after they got lost.

I wrote change tolerant instructions, and all was well.

----

This article sounds like someone who understands the idea of mapping, but hasn't committed to embracing it as a view of everything, but has a few different maps packed in their head, instead of one that is consistent with everything.
The list is very long and forever growing - plus sadly, a lot of people tend to reply with images to prove a political point or to mock someone.
> But uh, yeah, all of y'all recommending SICP as an intro to programming need to stop. Your target audience, if they take up programming at all, as a hobby, as a profession, or as a way to help them do their real work, is probably not going to use Scheme.

Some of us are working on that, and that's all I'm gonna say right now. And yeah, maybe that's not going to work out. Anyone see a white whale around here?

> Plenty of copies of TAOCP sit unread on bookshelves for this same reason also.

I'd say that TAOCP is more of a reference work than a course textbook. It's a completely different kind of book to SICP.
Let's suppose that your software currently has an incident where the service is degraded. For every day you don't push a fix, you lose 0.X% of revenue.

Some engineer creates a fix by turning off some recently added experiment responsible for the service degradation. The rollback passes all unit tests and integration tests. You know this fix is low-risk (maybe because your service was healthy for the ~1 year prior to the rollout). Even if there is some risk that this rollback breaks the service at some point in the future, in comparison to the known revenue loss the expected loss of that breakage would be minimal.

Another engineer objects to the rollback saying that "they don't know of the long term effects of such a rollback." You try to counter their claims by showing that previous rollbacks were almost always successful, and when they caused another failure that failure was not nearly as bad as the original service degradation. Also, the rollback passes all tests. That engineer then repeats "we don't know of the long term effects of this particular rollback, and I'm skeptical that the fix is good because the failing experiment and rollback was identified so quickly."

(Rollback vs. fix-forward doesn't actually matter; the point is that all available knowledge shows that the fix is low risk, historically supported, and that there is likely no mechanism for random failure in 6+ months.)

Do you think it would be correct to prefer the second engineer's claims?
I literally grew up along side ios and I still struggle to select text, copy, and paste. It's just a fundamentally crappy interface.
If that's the case, this is not a process that should be guiding public policy.
I get what you're saying, but I think that's actually counter-productive. To present things like uBlock as malware blockers suggests that "any ad which is not malware is fine". I think it's perfectly justifiable to guard against non-malware ads _as well as_ malware (ads or otherwise).
When there's a law that makes adblocking illegal. I will gladly leave the web behind forever. But to equate adblocking to stealing is hyperbolic nonsense. And to out right call me a thief is insulting. Looks like I struck a nerve; or maybe this whole thread did. Maybe you're in ad tech? I hope you are. I hope you read through this entire thread and soak in just how rotten your industry is; so reviled even here on HN.
In HTTP, clients are user agents and a web browser is only one kind of user agent that is specialized in fetching and displaying web pages. Like PUT and DELETE, this is clearly meant for APIs, not web pages. (Although sufficiently "advanced" web pages may make API calls.)

Wow, this sounds really cool! Out of curiosity, did you get bad results with the pure PGF backend? (And can you link to your script by any chance?) I'm always amazed that including matplotlib plots in LaTeX documents is so fraught since it's such common use case.

Also I read that matplotlib 3.5 has some sort of improved support for type 42 subsetting. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but this could be a welcome improvement!
> doing your best to make sure everyone at least gets access

No, you don't. You're usually just limiting the supply even further by discouraging sales, and at the absolute best, shuffling around the people who get to buy the item. You can't help scarcity at all by fixing prices.
So, what, that guy that sold weed before legalization caused more harm from his actions than hanging him would cause, and yet we've legalized it and everyone is fine with it now?

Or perhaps It's all arbitrary and decided by laws and the actual harm doesn't necessarily map directly onto illegal activity. If that's the case, maybe we should be careful about statements that hanging a drug.dealer causes less harm than they cause to communities.

Direct sale of water could be regulated, making people that sell it without license criminals. You'll have a hard time convincing me that selling water provides harm, but there would be just as much reasoning behind a statement saying as much.
Ahhh, ok. I see where we are disagreeing. You're assuming some equivalencies in what I'm saying that I do not.

> Police, most roads, and certain aspects of the legal system are free at the point of usage.

Sure, and those generally work well because the overhead is low. The per person cost of all of those services combined is extremely low compared to medical expenses. If giving everyone healthcare cost the same as giving every 911 service, this conversation wouldn't be happening.

> It’s bad to have for profit police, court system, and Air Force.

I think government and the monopoly on violence are generally good so long as the government is democratic, so sure.

> Some things ought not be profit driven

Totally agree. Executions and jails for instance. Anything were the service involves inflicting violence or removing rights is probably better left to a democratically elected organization.

> It’s quite disconcerting that someone sees no problem with a person profiting from denying healthcare. I should not be able to enrich myself by denying you health care. Tough decisions need to be made and the motive for the decision should not be profit.

You're confusing the role with the action. I think 'being the organization that prioritizes care' can be profitable and ethical. That's different from saying 'an organization should get paid for saying no to someone'. Those are two different things and you're assuming that you can't have the first without the second. The insurance company doesn't make money off 'saying no', it makes money off codifying rules that distribute healthcare and enforcing them on a set of people buying into those rules. When more people are denied they make more money, but they aren't 'denying to make money'. It's a different incentive structure from you're describing.
Also, nobody in that scenario is 'denying care' they are denying paying for the care. You're still free to go receive the care and pay for it yourself. You can also find a charity and convince them to pay, or crowd fund. That's actually a benefit of the market driven system: there is no such thing as a 'hard' no.

> I am not more important than you or anyone else. I don’t deserve health care before you just because I have more money. That’s a perverse idea.

Totally agree. Having the ability to purchase something is not the same as 'deserving' that something. Two entirely different concepts that live in different systems. One is grounded in the philosophical idea of fairness, and the other in the physical process of voluntary exchange.

> Unfortunately too many Americans embody the Bible’s warning regarding the love of money.

Totally agree here too, as an agnostic, although that's kind of a tangent.

Adblock on my openwrt router is like my bare minimum to surf the web. I’m aware of pi-holes and per device ad blocking via add-ins/vpns/whatever but it’s so dead simple to handle this at the gateway level it’s difficult to imagine doing it any way else.

I think they can also solve quite a few suburban problems. There are many examples of other countries whose suburbs are connected via public transit. And many trips can be done via bike instead of car.
>I honestly don’t know why everyone who is sexually active isn’t on PrEP

Side effects. People generally don't like to take drugs to prevent things if the chances of acquiring the illness is minimal. For example, if we had an approved vaccine for Malaria, we wouldn't just give it to everybody in the USA, and even if we did, many would not take it.
> Version control? Basically meaningless for lawyers. The only version of the contract that matters is the most recent one, so we just need a way to track that.

I think you are talking about versioning executed contracts, in which case I kind of agree with you, though there are some corner cases where it would be helpful to track all the amendments/restatements to a contract over time.

But I do think versioning of drafts is important in all but the most basic negotiations because parties expect redlines with each draft and different parties may expect different redlines (because not all parties are necessarily recipients of all drafts, eg, if there are some discrete points being negotiated amongst a sub-set of the parties).

But as I have said in another comment, that kind of version control is already available to lawyers. And in general, I agree with you - the actual pain points for lawyers (and their clients) are not the ones that software developers tend to focus on when they talk about disrupting the legal sector. There are a lot of solutions in search of problems.
Very outdated, but has a good descriptions of how to implement tools like lex and yacc.
There are a few large red flags:

1) It's not a firewall. "Firewall" is a specific thing, and while this service can, in some ways, act like a firewall, it absolutely is not one.

2) Decisions in "nanoseconds"? It's poor marketing to misrepresent. Sure, technically ten seconds is a certain number of nanoseconds, which makes this statement meaningless, but it's still trying too hard.

3) I see no information about the company. Who are these people, and why should we trust them? Which countries do they use for their services / servers, and which countries' laws are they subject to?

I once sent a link to a news article to a friend at work. He became angry at me because the link I had sent him was to a malware-infested shit site. It wasn't, but the ads in the site I had intended to send had taken over his browser and made it indistinguishable from a malware link.

That's how showing ads on your site is abuse of the user.

This is a really weird and frankly naive take IMO, especially after what we witnessed during the pandemic. The demand for some goods is not affected by their price, and such goods have a name that you can hear in any Economics 101 class - "inelastic goods".

Expansion through private debt used to be limited by bank reserve ratios. Of course now that reserve ratio is nominally 0, the limit imposed on this expansion is a little more vague and uncertain.

>Used to as in when the currency was gold backed and not really fiat, you mean? Sure, but that also didn't work very well.

I'm talking about fractional reserve banking. In 2020 the reserve ratio was eliminated (set to 0%). Was not at all referring to gold backed or gold standard.
