Elon doesn't have to spread operations out across the country to keep jobs going in a bunch of congressional districts that sometimes shift on the outcomes of elections. He can just focus on getting things done. NASA would have to be given more leash than is possible in the current climate to actually have a hope of keeping up.

The world as they know it might be coming to an end, of course they're worried.
Doesn't that analysis depend a whole lot on a very complicated metaphysical question of when a "human life" begins? The moment of conception? That's a fringe belief and the only answer to the question that makes your argument cohere perfectly.
Comparing a font using all caps with a font using lowercase isn't a fair comparison, we know that all caps is harder to read (source: some paper at some point as an undergrad when I had no bibliographic database - and my own experience).

I agree with the comments that see no real benefit to the rounded corners except for the one comment I read that points out that we see sharper corners as more fragile.

I think there may be some sunk-cost bias here - if you spent a lot of time and energy making rounded corners at a time when CSS didn't make it easy, now you'll have quite a bit of cognitive dissonance concluding that rounded corners are no better than sharp ones.
@hourislate Thanks, I think the amp link caused the original link to go to a login page, weird.

@hn Maybe a mod can correct my op link with this one? I can no longer edit it.
This disinformation.

The Emergency Act explicitly preserves Charter Rights.

NYTimes has already withdrawn their claim.

I'll be straight - the only reason I can think of to discriminate based on race is for medical reasons - and that is by their doctor to diagnose specific illnesses. Can you give some more good reasons?
I wish there was this much concern for the antifa / blm protests that terrorized cities including Portland for over 3 months in summer of 2020.
When you say that small tools are lacking. I assume this is more than a simple lack of hotkeys, perhaps you can elaborate a bit?

Most elite distance runners heel strike.

There's no good evidence for any of the claims made r.e. heel vs. forefoot striking.
That does look pretty bad. I've never actually been to Canada.

In any case, the U.S, especially NYC, SF, LA, and Seattle is still worse than anywhere I've been in this regards.
None of this is a surprise to anyone who has been watching. I could characterize it in a number of ways, but there is nobody left to persuade. Given some obvious inevatabilities that flow downstream of this, what's the smart thing to do as an individual? If you are aligned to the official narrative, the incentives are to double down to make sure nobody suspects you of disloyalty if it prevails. If you are on the side of revolt, the official narrative is so increasingly divorced from reality as a means to signal it doesn't have to care about it - because this is how it says it is powerful - that it is impossible to sustain the dissonance to find any common ground or agreement in principle.

I just don't see reconciliation as a result of this emergencies act process.

My bets would be on a ratcheting up of controls over internet services, hyper aggressive financial services and tax enforcement, over the top surveillance exampples as threats, a miasma of staged and real "random" violence, escalating hit jobs and cancellations of the reasonable and principled, an official pivot to "fighting hate/terror" as a permanent emergency, etc.

The only question to me is whether a new class of plausible leaders emerges to replace the terrible ones responsible for this nonsense, or decades of low level conflict with a radicalized populace vs. a state that has more international support than national legitimacy. The only out is removing internal passport controls and mandates. The alterative is clear. Such interesting times.
You didn't see all the videos of people delivering gas to the truckers?
It is really sad that our knowledge of these policies is limited to guesses and rumors, and that there is no public log of moderation actions.
I'm not a developer in this situation, I'm a user. There's no contradiction. Apple makes my user experience better by forcing app developers to play by their rules.
Well according to the protesters, the Canadian and provincial governments have also cost the economy millions of dollars in losses due to their lockdowns and restrictions.
Also, just the need to support two different OSes on the same hardware.

Network hardware should be rock solid appliances that live up to their specs on every front that I can just set and forget, and maybe occasionally need to do a security update. I shouldn't have to think of the pros and cons of one firmware choice over another, I don't have time for that crap.

Just make a fully-featured switch and fully-featured router and release them as such, instead of a crippled SwitchOS and crippled RouterOS, neither of which live up to the hardware's full potential.
No, it is not.

Plenty of people are sympathetic if a starving man breaks into a store to steal some food. That isn't the same thing as being supportive of breaking and entering or theft.
Well said. Administration after administration comes and goes and neither party fixes the problem, it's almost like there is one party and the dual party system is just to extract donations during election season. I feel like it's all a big show.
i recommend you reread the comment you are responding to; i believe you are misunderstanding what the original comment means about governance model being "bug free" for the political / ruling class.

"bug free" in the sense that the leaders of more authoritarian states are much less constrained by strong insitutional safeguards on individual rights, constitutions, etc. and that Trudeau and many politicians in western nations are jealous of their authoritatrian counterpart's ability to run roughshod over their citizenry
If you’re talking about Git, then as a rule of thumb you’ve got at least 30 days before anything will actually be deleted: you can retrieve what was lost from the reflog. You could start with something like `git checkout "main@{4 hours ago}"`, then delve further into the reflog itself if that doesn’t produce exactly what you want.
It is not a stupid idea. Most companies cannot make too much money from designing/selling the hardware. On the other hand there is money to be made from the data collected from these IoTs and selling device management and updates as a service.

ARM is just not the right company to make that happen. They are fantastic at what they do but not software services, big data, etc

rate-limiting is manually applied by the moderators

Given:

1) HN was started by / is moderated by "computer nerds" (IMO you're hardcore if you write it in lisp)

2) 'dang' is the only acknowledged public moderator (some small? number of additional secret moderators also exist)

It follows that:

It's difficult and doesn’t scale to "manually" apply rate limiting. Most / all such action is highly automated.

At least that's my wild, possibly way-off-base guess.
Hah! I actually took this sort of joke further than I probably should have a while ago with this https://boyter.org/posts/expert-excuses-for-not-writing-unit...

It also covers how to avoid writing them to begin with.
One major reason that seems unattributed is that with the Web 2.0 movement around late 2000s we started to round most elements (buttons, div containers, input boxes...) in web design.
That’s it? That many people are there and this is the rampant violence? Lol. This is tame as hell. We’re you clutching your pearls this much during the violent BLM protests where people actually died and buildings burned to the ground with bodies later found inside?
Are current shader languages adequate? I've seen various posts mentioning that better alternatives can be developed for higher level languages for generating SPIR-V.
Ask HN: Forget tabs vs. spaces, what about braces around single line statements?
Everyone knows that programmers tend to have strong opinions about minor technical details. Silicon Valley enshrined this with tabs vs. spaces. But Emacs vs. Vim is older. For me, my personal pet peeve is in curly braced code not having braces around single statements. Compare:

No brace

if(x) doStuff(x);

Versus

if(x){
doStuff(x);
}

One objective point in my favor is that you avoid issues with misleading indentation and a few cases that have caused CVE's. Not in my favor, the first is shorter. And people often believe code density is a virtue.

I never really thought about this a being a huge issue, until recently I had an interviewee express a strong preference for no braces, and I thought it was absurd to feel so strongly, and secondarily I thought they were wrong.

Anyone else have strong feelings either way that want to express themselves?
The situation in most US cities is that there are neighborhoods with and without sidewalks. Some subdivisions have them, others don't. And it's not like you can readily add sidewalks after the fact, without wreaking havoc.

In my town, for the most part the neighborhoods without sidewalks also have extremely little car traffic, and pedestrians walk in the street without issue. The drivers also tend to behave themselves.

Changing anything that requires substantially raising the city budget is hard, because the state makes many of the rules for city budgets and taxes. Adding a large seasonal workforce and equipment for clearing sidewalks would be a tough nut to crack. They do clear the sidewalks around parks, schools, and the like. There's also a matter of the preferences of residents. For instance I don't want a ton of salt poured onto the sidewalks in front of my house, and am happy to keep it clear of snow. Every 3 or 4 houses, somebody has a snowblower that rarely gets used.
Trudeau lobbied Biden for them. And in the works was a mandate not allowing unvaxxed to cross provincial borders carrying goods.
I think Levitt lost a lot of goodwill with his attempted Covid interventions
> The Emergencies Act (French: Loi sur les mesures d'urgence) is a law passed by the Parliament of Canada in 1988 which authorizes the federal government to take extraordinary temporary measures to respond to public welfare emergencies, public order emergencies, international emergencies and war emergencies.

The act you're referring to was the War Measures act, which has been repealed.

He made a bad decision in pushing ARM to chase IoT. Instead he could have pushed more in traditional areas - servers, data centers, laptops and desktops. Some of that did happen but more could have been done if they had not been distracted by IoT.
“Perfectly sound” crumbles on further inspection. First the protest is time sensitive. Consider all the relaxations that are happening with restrictions not only in Canada but globally. Canada has some of the most strict Covid laws in the world. Next the omicron virus is less dangerous, 90% of Canadians are vaccinated, and we have treatments for Covid patients in hospital. Your reasoning implies we should still be getting one loaf of bread today even though the war has ended.

There are three separate petitions underway. Last I heard only one of the three was fully submitted, the rest are in varying stages of preparation. The individual doing the lions share of the labor on these petitions just defended his PhD (of which the petitions themselves made up a large component of his dissertation).
Tow truck companies at a blocked Alberta border crossing were reporting death threats from American extremists when their companies appeared on video recordings of the blockade. The RCMP reported they were unable to contract towing companies, apparently out of fear of retribution from 20 miles south.
Well, at least for this matter, having crypto in a blockchain would be a good protection. Good luck for Trudeau to convince the entire Bitcoin or Ethereum network to freeze any particular wallet.
While it has roots in C, I think it's better to consider it a separate language, especially in more modern forms (Metal is C++14). Metal is locked into Apple's proprietary platforms, but there is other work in compiling C++ to portable shaders, particularly Sean Baxter's Circle, as well as some academic work[1].

There's also of course rust-gpu. I think it's fair to say that in 5 to 10 years we will no longer be writing shaders in C, but will have moved on to a higher level language.

Ironic that the same people protesting those restrictions were by and large the same people who voted for leaders on platforms of reducing budgets by slashing healthcare.
This is still underperforming the sp500 who went up 87% in the same 5 years.
Reporters got to get paid
In the context of public health, "compliance" is a word that is used to refer to the percentage of people who follow expert advice. The same word, "compliance", is used to describe how many people take their prescribed pills properly and on schedule. The word doesn't only apply for "mandates" or "orders", and as you correctly pointed out, what ultimately matters is what people do.
Numba is awesome. It solves a lot of problems. Julia is like numba but you are able to use any libraries inside the loops. Think FFT, scipy, etc
There certainly was quite a bit of community support for the protests on Capitol Hill and the liberation of Cal Anderson Park and the surrounding area from being flooded with tear gas for weeks on end.

Most of the people who were in my scout troop participated at one point or another, the Capitol Hill Business Alliance was broadly supportive, albiet they were focused on business centric issues. Many of the businesses in the area operated like normal as well.

Eventually though the park was looking like a Nicklesville (old Seattlites know the etymology of this), and the crowd that had driven back the cops, painted the street with a mural, and acted in solidarity with their neighbors had dwindled, leaving just those that saw free food, free camping and few people left encouraging sociable behavior.
Part of the problem is friend are like dating, for it to not be annoying you gotta both actually like each other. The acquaintances who do this to me I usually don’t really like. But there are other people I would be happy to hear from in this way.
Or, you know, completely in line with the public health measures needed to end a pandemic.

One or the other.
American Chestnuts are very different from horse chestnuts (likely what you were seeing)
The fact that this comment is being downvoted enough for it to have turned grey is why I never post about civil liberties on hacker news, who wants to lose karma? I guess I will do my part today and ask people to upvote reasonable posts like this so that perhaps chilling effects on speech will not increase through negative karma feedback loops.
He direct quotes:
“They don’t believe in science/progress and are very often misogynistic and racist. It’s a very small group of people, but that doesn’t shy away from the fact that they take up some space.”

“This leads us, as a leader and as a country, to make a choice: Do we tolerate these people? Over 80% of the population of Quebec have done their duty by getting the shot. They are obviously not the issue in this situation.”- this is according to this article: https://thepulse.one/2022/01/03/prime-minister-justin-trudea...

Funny how you seem to have forgot the highway shutdowns that BLM pulled in multiple cities, buildings burnt down with bodies later discovered inside. Yeah totally way more chill than some scary trucks idling in a street.
>It's extremely unlikely (though still possible, technically) that one person sodomizing another will transmit HIV to a third, unrelated party.

Consider the prevalence of casual hookups, and how long the incubation period is, I say the chance is pretty high. If anything, the aids epidemic is evidence that it can spread despite requiring intimate contact. That said, for the purposes of this argument I'd be okay with limiting the argument to "ban sodomy for non-married couples" to rule out the "third, unrelated party" element.
Nor were they peaceful in India. In addition to the violence against police a woman in the group was raped. A man was killed brutally.

The right to protest ends when it infringes on other's rights to go about their daily life. Occupying highways and roads for months on end is not a peaceful protest.

Canadian politicians, including some in the cabinet, supported violent protests in India. Canadian citizens fueled money to the protests in India.
This is great! Time to dust off my Swing books!
Paying DoD prices for a civilian program never made sense.

Add in constant program stretching due to a limited budget, I don't doubt NASA will look bad by comparison.
I agree that in any large group there can and will be agitators, but given the dug-in nature of the Ottawa protest it is reasonable to consider the relationship between the lack of enforcement, the relatively small number of participants, and the intimidation that has occurred (as testified to by the OPS).

I think it is lost on most people not following closely that the day-to-day protest headcount is quite low, easily under 1,000 people, probably well under 500. Any normal crowd control policing unit could disperse such a small group, the police do not do so despite many instances of having done so and clear legal authority to do so.
I would wager that the chances are not quite zero, but infinitesimally close.
> but people are saying that it almost plays itself when accessibility is enabled, taking away part of the enjoyment.

I don't envy anyone trying to solve this problem, seems next to impossible to do a live action game above a certain level of accessibility. Just the time you have to communicate what's on the screen (much less being able to quickly communicate what's on screen) is so tight on a shooter for example. Found a neat video [0] of TLoU2's accessibility features.

They were not being peaceful in India either - the "farmers" attacked and beat up police, tore down the national flag and hoisted their own, blocked a major highway for months, there were rapes at the protest site, etc. etc.
> Coups involve people with guns

So you've never heard the term "Bloodless Coup" ?
I've been seriously considering this move as well but am surprised to see zookeeper mentioned so much. Solr's use of zookeeper is tiny and managing the log files is something like this:

autopurge.snapRetainCount=5
autopurge.purgeInterval=12

Pretty much set-and-forget (assuming you don't get disk timeouts on zk or network timeouts from solr-to-zk).
>> Trudeau aka mr blackface put black truckers out of a job, then when they organized to protest, he called them racists. Now they are really digging in exercising their charter right to peaceful protesting and Trudeau is going to remove them using this.

Wow - that’s quite a summary of what’s going on right now. I keep seeing the same pattern of your comment on right wing media lately (e.g. with the insurrectionists): defend the racist group by blaming either a false flag or “a handful of individuals”, call the protesters “largely peaceful and just exercising their rights”, then turning the charge around to call the people accusing you, of being the actual racists. I find it fascinating to see this on hn - it’s usually the kind of comment I would find in the Breitbart / Fox News comment sections.
I'm still skeptical that anyone will win that space. The core problem (instant delivery logistics in a dense urban area) is just too expensive for the average consumer to bear. Right now every player is VC subsidized, but what happens when that money dries up?
Adequate for what purpose? My personal feeling is that if you are sufficiently motivated, you can get your work done in them, but they are painful and tedious enough that in most cases your GPU is sitting there idle while the CPU with approximately 1/10 the raw computational throughput does its best to chug through compute workloads that could be done on GPU instead. And virtually nobody[1] is using them for machine learning; CUDA is so overwhelmingly better that people will buy into vendor lock-in to use it.

"aaand there it is" skepticism in the face of blatant reality as a defense mechanism from admitting wrongness. Has anyone from the center or the right even campaigned on the issue? no. You can wish things were different, I do, but they're not.

I mean even just campaigning on an issue isn't enough, we need to drive enough of the people who campaign on it into office so that they collectively wind up having to actually do it, not just talk about it. So really when I say "Bernie" I mean "Bernie and 61 senators and 218 congress people".

Thats the system we live in. Those are the votes you need to enact meaningful policy, and climate change is so massive a challenge that it requires meaningful policy backing to be addressed at the requisite scale.

To put this in context, the US Military budget is around 700B a year, and the estimates of what it would have cost if we started ini 2016 to do the necessary domestic transition to do our part in avoiding 1.5C was about 1.6T/year for 10 years. Obviously that ship has completely sailed, but it doesn't meaningfully change the cost, it just means we have to spend around the same amount now to try and hold the line at 2.0C.

There are no other budgets or policy proposals that even come close. By all means link me to one if you think i'm wrong.
> As software developers, we always strive for better tools but rarely consider font as such.
