I had an interesting conversation with a Bahraini supporter of Iran's government, regarding democracy.

He pointed at flaws in the US system. I defended them. I pointed at flaws in the Iranian system. He defended them.

We both had good points. F.ex. in his version, the Guardian Council's vetting and required approval of candidates was because "You couldn't have a goat herder be elected president."

Which, valid point! It sucks for everyone when democracies elect incompetent people. It's a tension between purer democracy (risking bad winners, but increasing freedom) and more restricted democracy (decreasing risk, but also freedom).

There's a reason Kant defined the categorical imperative [0] to cut all ways: because right must be right everywhere, for everyone. "Right for me", but "wrong for you" is indefensible.

Oof, yes.
The over adherence to bloat in the name of backwards compatibility holds the language back - these are incredibly conservative changes that reflect practices which have already been used for decades!
Like the other replies said, I’d suspect you might have an issue with your setup. We’ve used 3 different antennas and they’ve all (to my knowledge) performed beautifully.

I see your email address is in your profile. Today’s a stat holiday in many parts of Canada, but I’ll look around tomorrow and see if I might have some data to support/refute my assertion. Our pilots, nominally, write down the weather for every flight, so I might actually have some clear sky/cloudy data that I could share from the base station.
While it's an amusing story, it feels like the analogue doesn't really work. In reality low value options are removed because few users use it. In the story options (keys) are being removed even when used by absolutely everybody, as long as the relative frequency of the key is low. That's a huge difference.

And of course you don't evaluate an experiment to remove an option like in the story, by looking at before/after rates on how often the option is triggered.
It's e.g. pretty clearly not what happened in the the Firefox encoding menu example that motivated the rant.
It doesn't scale (and that's a good thing). Valencia's responsibility is to feed Valencia, not the world.

Every locale should be responsible for its own food security. As each locale is different, there is no universal solution. Each locale will need to be resourceful and adapt according to its own climate and what resources are available in its vicinity.

Sadly, some locales are unprepared for food self-sustainability, and the denizens of these places will have to find a way to adapt eventually, whether by will or climatic/geo-political event. Better sooner than too late.
do you happen to have any links to such documents, preferably originals?
Because it sounds suspicious that US agreed on some conditions for whole NATO. Especially by the time when USSR basically lost any leverage and couldn't dictate any conditions to anyone.
It is sobering whenever this topic appears on HN (though thankfully this time it seemed to be flagged directly off the first three pages immediately, and perhaps DHH's low quality pablum has been properly binned) because it really resets my perception of the quality of comments here. Like reading a newspaper or magazine article on a field you happen to know in detail, making you realize that what you thought were considered, informed opinions are actually just people giving uninformed, careless takes. Strongly held, highly emotional opinions that are built on a tower of, in essence, shit.

It's someone telling you, with great passion and confidence, that the Linux kernel needs to be rewritten in Visual Basic because the current PHP code isn't maintainable. Throughout these comments, and in hot takes like DHH's, there are just profoundly ignorant errors that betray that the speaker doesn't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. It instantly reveals their rhetoric to be noisy garbage.
It's because it's right next to WASD. The state in Windows doesn't matter, if you enter games with it enabled you don't start the game in stealth mode. Like all other toggleables in games (menus, maps, aiming) it's based on input events toggling a state variable which is why it still works when you rebind stealth to a non-stateful key like ctrl or shift.
The feature just makes it run identically to the last run. It's useful for reproducing bugs; if you encounter a bug, just start the program in "replay" mode, supply the recording from the last run, and fire up the debugger, and watch as the bug is reproduced perfectly.

It's kind of like a time-traveling debugger, but with stronger guarantees.

I'm particularly excited about combining this with concurrency, we'll never have to spend hours hunting down mysterious race conditions ever again!
The semantic operation is increment. It being read, add, write is an implementation detail. The increments happen simultaneously, meeting the definition for 'data race' according to Padua, which is the definition most people would use.

Well it's not about self criticism is harder. It's about rejecting self criticism at all. If you think today the media have a shred of self criticism in the true sense, I.e., they demand things to be changed based on their criticism of the said system, let's say, for example, on the liberal ideology. You will find none. The so-called criticism is nothing more than a quick trigger to release the emotional tension of the viewers.

What the author pointed out as a symptom, is the result of the systematic dumbdown of the population by our comparative overload, who might or might not have been conscious about it.

Right, collection for the purpose of running the site and all that. But does that mean "I run my site without having ever configured apache's HTTP access logs off the default, but I never read the logs" is fine? Because that sounds like collecting more PII (in the form of stored IP addresses) than is strictly needed to run the site. https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/42438/do-default-apa...

... and that's the problem and the reason that it's probably wise for even site administrators who aren't doing advertising-related data collection to pop the banner. Because the answer to that question is on the other side of a judge's ruling after a very expensive lawsuit. Better safe than sorry.

The law, as written, has entirely too many "The resolution of that ambiguity is on the other side of a judge's ruling after a very expensive lawsuit" for people to have not predicted a million banners. The defaults of the most ancient tools we use to host websites are, under the GDPR, ambiguously compliant.
I distinctly remember feeling like 1995 was absolutely amazing year for cinema.

Toy story, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Usual Suspects, Heat, Casino, Seven, Clueless, 12 Monkeys, Babe, Get Shorty, Leaving Las Vegas, etc.

A great time to be going to the Cinema.
> Also, I don't know how business stuff like this works, but if a company pays an ad agency for ad ideas, aren't they paying for ownership of those ideas? How many classic commercials were actually original ideas of the company whose product was being advertised? Yet we all still consider the polar bears to be a coca-cola commercial, WAZZUUUUUP to be budweiser commercials, etc.

To convert it to HN-speak, this is like forking an open-source software library, then branding it as your own internal original work. Then the kicker is the Twitter thread where he publicly insults the entire profession of the people they stole it from. So imagine that a company rips off an OSS library, then says something like "no OSS community would have created this."

It breaks an industry-standard norm in the relationship between ad/marketing agencies and client companies. Everyone knows that client companies pay ad agencies. But agencies make their livelihood on their reputation. So everyone who matters in the industry knows that Ken Stewart was behind the Coca-Cola polar bears campaign, or that it was Bill Backer behind the "I'd like to give the world a Coke" campaign. They've been inducted into the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame, which is literally something only ad people care about. Same with number of stars on GitHub.
short termism there is the fear of losing elections due to a misinformed populace. we should have educated people instead and embraced nuclear as the stop gap for the next 100 years while we develop all kinds of other energy tech.
Humble Chronicles: The Layout
Monitors are a depressing set of products. Every consumer has a slightly different set of priorities, and for me, the continuous cycle of compromises to arrive at a monitor that checks just over 50% of my requirements feels punitive. The lack of satisfaction is compounded further by the tour de force of reasonably priced and high-end display technologies packed into a sexy af piece of art hanging in my living room. Stepping from the living room into the office feels like a trek into the past.

I'm hopeful that QD-OLED will make that a less jarring transition. Mini-LEDs may help modernize the market, but I don't see them making a significant dent in my disappointment.
I think it's brilliant as an idea but not particularly mysterious after the fact or something. I love it, but think it's brilliant in part because it's so transparent and simple.

I agree "bootstrap" has expanded a bit in meaning but I think it's basically the same idea.

I used to think it was cheating but have realized there is a cost to it, which is replication. For many things it's just impractical in terms of computation time. So although it's great, it requires a lot.
Depending on how well you know this person, you could frame your "correction" as more of a question. "I was having trouble understanding what you meant in the conclusion, because it felt like it contradicted what you say earlier. I'm probably just confused or missing something, but could you explain it to me?" They might notice their error based on that and tell you they messed up. Or they might not, in which case you can "ask" if the way you're thinking about it makes more sense.

Very similar to A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling by M. J. Shields (frequently misattributed to Mark Twain):

"For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld."
The second allowed result of malloc(0), a unique pointer passable to free(), is not a pointer to an array of bytes. It can’t be used to access bytes - only compared to other pointers since it’s unique, and passed to free(). It doesn’t point to anything.
for example: "move money from one bank account to another bank account"

essentially the same operations in the same order, that need to be isolated (i.e. transactional / atomic) from concurrent threads performing the same operations.
It could also be interpreted as

atomic { tmp = x + 1 }
atomic { x = tmp }
atomic { tmp = y - 1 }
atomic { y = tmp }

In fact I would expect this is the most likely possibility, at least for user defined objects.
> Ukraine now buys all <Russian> gas as reverse flow from European Union states

Ok let me get this straight. Russia has been supplying up to 39% of all of Europe's natgas nonstop since 1973, throughout the Cold War, collapse of the USSR, 2014, and including the current everyday Ukrainian gas, which is also being supplied by Russia without fail (then reversed from Europe, to avoid outright theft), but somehow it's a very dangerous weapon. Ok.

I don't have a problem with it being Apple controlled. I have a problem with it being presented as an open project while simultaneously Apple completely controls its trajectory and maintains private forks of everything, which are where the developer tools are actually built from.

If it was a closed process where neat stuff just dropped out of the sky each year, that would be fine. When features drop out of nowhere each year and then get laundered through ex post facto public "review", then I take issue.

If it was a closed process then we would expect that only features coming from Apple would exist. In a truly open process there would be facilitation for contributions from people outside the organization. In the Swift project as it is currently run, those contributions have withered on the vine; the core team doesn't particularly welcome or support anything that didn't originate internally.
In summary:

Horn compared her feelings after returning to the US from deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan to the struggles of employees negotiating the ambiguity of adjusting to a new normal of work, such as returning to the office after a long stretch of muddling through the crisis created by a global pandemic....“This Great Resignation is actually a normal response that most people have never gone through,” Adria wrote. “I’ve experienced this kind of thing after every return from deployment.”

Well that's an interesting new metric:

"Employers should start tracking the number of return hires they have. This will be the better long-term gauge of how they’ve treated their employees after a traumatic event."
What do you mean? The Rio Turia is always dry, water literally never reaches the sea through it (well, except maybe for very heavy rain days, which are rare)
I agree. I'm in the same boat and I don't like remote work at all. It feeds into my weaknesses and reduces my strengths. I'm tired of all the talk about "You should not rely on office for socializing". Forget socializing, I feel remote work is dissipating even the camaraderie that used to exist within teams at work. It is making mercenaries out of us.
This was a real problem until US Gov mandated "PRND" shift order, among other things.

I think there are a few related causes behind this behavior:

1) Visual changes show better than feature lists. I'm not convinced this matters anywhere near as much for customers as marketing folks seem to think it does, but marketing values it regardless, management values it (it'll show better to their bosses, too), and product managers, designers, and front-end developers value it (so they have nice-looking things for portfolios and presentations, both internal and external)

2) Making something that looks good in a screenshot or demo is not the same thing as making something that works well (that is, has "good UX"), and making something that does both well is hard enough that the talent (and environment/budget) to do it may be fairly rare. The former matters to those concerned about point 1, so that's what gets priority (which is why so many redesigns are neutral, at best, as far as UX, and many are worse).

3) If design is done well, it's heavily cyclical. Design guidelines and languages and component libraries and such should be built up such that most design work only happens when there are initial designs, very large feature add-ons that break with what the previous design guidelines can accommodate, or redesigns. So, if you're a designer and want to stay comfortably employed, and you're a manager who doesn't want to surrender head-count or lose your people to other projects, and a large part of the org has various incentives to push initiatives that result in something nice to to look at (see 1, again) what happens? Lots more redesigns than need to happen. LOTS more.

[EDIT] And all this is before we even consider possible business reasons to deliberately make the product worse, which are also A Thing.

> The extraordinary extent to which huge chunks of London and the political alt-right across Europe and the USA relies on Putin's (and other oligarchs') laundered wealth

in what way exactly is it more extraordinary than all these alliances with middle-eastern "governments" (or rather ruling classes) that are known to commit atrocities of all sorts, including local invasions and coups?
And still it’s Russia invading Ukraine, not NATO.
I am assuming you’re not Australian or Canadian.

In both countries the focus is on society and community over the individual.

So a person’s individual rights are actually quite limited and the overwhelming majority are perfectly fine with this. For example, Victoria had the longest and harshest lockdown in the world and the government is still massively popular.

"I am somewhat concerned now that I may be subject to self radicalization by reading his works"

This seems highly unfounded, unless you have some special concern. It should be possible to read things without being radicalized. Approach it with skepticism, pick apart the flaws in arguments, fact check claims, etc. It's always good to know what the "other side" is thinking or reading (regardless of what your current side is).

If you bought the book through a reputable dealer, then I would think the dealer would have removed any "forbidden" texts. Otherwise, wouldn't they be frozen for selling?
Pixel 6. Five years of security updates, but only three years of new Android versions. It's a silly and needlessly short time frame for updating their own software on their own hardware, and it's what drives most people to replace their otherwise fully functioning hardware.
Absolutely no one "drives to Mercadona in their Mercedes??" that's like not even a thing (I'm from Valencia). Yes people go to Mercadona, but you walk there since there's one in every other corner.

Interestingly Mercadona has also started making prepared meals, which is a nice keep-up-with-the-times upgrade IMHO, nowadays that young people cook less and less.
The article mentions a couple other "heavy duty" virus that have similar effects, but what about a severe case of the flu? Or some other virus (not Ebola)?

When doing battling against a virus wouldn't the body naturally shift resources around? That is, to focus on the matter at hand. In the context of illness, sperm and testosterone feel like low priority. You're not going to fight (testosterone) or procreate (sperm) if you're running a fever, etc.

The point is, how typical / atypical is this? Without similar studies of other viruses / diseases it's hard to say. There's no context. No similar data to compare to.
Oh, I just got the joke.

I agree that use case makes complete sense for you today. But shouldn't we expect that your government will also get around to blocking crypto? E.g. declaring it criminal for you to use, and/or blocking all the fiat on/offramps so you can't buy anything with it?

> Given that Pagerank was literally invented and named after Larry Page, I would think that Google had a head start.

I don't think this means much. The history of science and technology is full of examples of results named after someone other than the first person to find them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_examples_of_Stigler%27....

In fact, based on the other comments in this thread, it seems that Pagerank being named after Larry Page is itself one of these examples.
I didn't miss the point, I was replying to the comment above of:

"Definitely worth preserving so that people are aware it happened and hopefully prevent it from happening again in the future."

I think it should be preserved as a reminder to all, and I am not necessarily against this happening again in the future and clearly gave a modern day example of The Chinese Communist Party as an enemy of nations and how something like this could potentially happen again.

Coinbase CEO gets called out over Super Bowl ad
> It just seems unprofessional. Why would a company want to hire this agency now?

If your agency came up a creative Superbowl ad idea, and then the CEO of the company that ran the ad goes and tweets about it, dissing outside agencies (like you), and seems to claim they came up with it internally... how do you get credit for the success of the idea you pitched, since that's a big deal to your business?
Software (and I guess hardware too) is about tradeoffs. The tradeoff here is that in not being able to validate if a device is a valid Airtag is that Apple has created a massive, completely uncontrollable surveillance network. The fact that anyone can interrogate the network to track devices that aren't even guaranteed to be running the official firmware or have the official hardware is insane. Not having Apple be able to know the location of the tags is pretty much irrelevant in the face of this downside.
