Western democracies greatest danger isn't Russia, it is their own collapse into authoritarianism out of fear. You can look at Germany how it managed to create two dictatorships in short order and it still repeats the mistakes of the last century even today. The stereotype about Angst might be exaggerated, but an old population has similar attributes.

Overall we didn't had much time not under some form of emergency powers. Terrorism, war, insurrections... there is always a reason the be afraid.
This is very useful. I'm learning clojure at the moment and it's way more helpful to have little code snippets to explain points, much like the documentation does.

My favourite part of kitty is the "grabbers", like "ctrl+shift+p f" pops up vim-sneak like tags on all the file paths visible in the terminal. Swap f for h and it will let you select a hash. I would love it if that became a standard across terminals
In most countries I've lived in, and I believe most (if not all) states in the US, you are required to present your license upon request. That the police could "look it up" isn't relevant.

For instance in CA, CVC12951 makes it an infraction to drive without your license in your possession, and a misdemeanor to not provide it upon request by a LEO
> I just don't know how you can say things like this when professional environments like Activision-Blizzard exist

You don't agree people should leave Activision-Blizzard? I'm not convinced all the drama actually improved the company, though it was probably very satisfying to see for some folks.

> I do NOT want that at work, and I think I am entitled to [...]

That's a valid feeling, but nobody else is obliged to give that to you. You find a company that works for you, or you adapt to the one that you want to work for you. You don't go to war with the culture of a company just because something you feel entitled to isn't yet there.

> I guarantee you I can offend and get a bad reaction out of anyone who says "anything goes."

Yes, and there's nothing wrong with bad reactions. I literally said "you talk about it, rib back or leave". If you are incapable of solving your issues that way and find some sort of middle ground when someone really feels you stepped over the line, I think you have some growing up to do. That said, I recognise it doesn't mesh with a lot of folks' feelings on the matter and that's fine. I can live with that. I hope you can too.

I think it's reasonable to have conversations like these at work. Just like you can have them anywhere else. If conversations about it are had and you have thoughts on whether or not they should be had, you should be heard. Then the other party is free to do with that what they want. That's how life works.
It’s worth noting explicitly what others have said - if you are doing what you describe, you are running your Linux containers under QEMU.

The performance of this will be terrible; there is likely little room for optimisation and you should not expect this to get any faster in the future.

Using aarch64 containers changes the game entirely. Common base images like Ubuntu are already multiarch so will just work out of the box. But this has obvious downsides and won’t be a suitable solution for everyone.
Wow, awesome job!
> It's well invested capital and time to find out whether something is true or not

But it was known not to be true, and so people were sent under false pretenses to go and reproduce and verify it. That is far from well invested.

You can run an automated rootkit detector, but I doubt anyone able to get that far will be caught that easily. Your best bet is using application specific monitoring, eg for WordPress there are excellent tools like Wordfence that monitor login attempts, file changes and block common attacks. For my custom apps I will be alerted on brute force attempts, weird queries (sql injection attempts) and pretty much any anomaly is logged and will stand out. Another big one is monitoring for weird resource usage, I use Netdata for this. But doing some upfront hardening is the most effective way. I have yet to be hacked (as far as I can tell) operating multiple VPS servers in 10 year+ timespan. But have worked with companies that frequently had their servers compromised due to poor security practices.
that's for women right? Cause I don't see what's stopping me spreading the seed even at 50. My wood going stronger at 30 than it's ever been at 20
To put it another way, it’s a high risk loan from the perspective of the ISA lender — which they offset with a high premium to get around the adverse selection are problem. It’s basically a mirror image of the problem that insurance providers face.
You need to consider the historical context too. The referenced authors has been found performing statistical fraud before. P(Mistake) is probably lower.
To piggyback: If anyone is interested in more of this line of thinking, i.e., self-enquiry, nondualism, etc, there is a wonderful series of introductory lectures on vedantist-thought by Swami Sarvapriyananda[1]. A line of thinking which, if I may add, influenced literary figures like Emerson, Tolstoy, and Yeats[2]. Above all, it reminds me of an idea I recently came across from a blog I follow: "A stronger link needs to be made between "liberation" in the revolutionary, social/political, decolonial sense, and "liberation" in the mystical, ego-dissolving, soteriological sense."

I wrote a hex AI with a couple of friends a few years back based on reinforcement learning.

https://cleeff.github.io/hex/

You move first and the ai might swap meaning that it steals your first move and you swap colors. This enforces you to pick an even opening.

I'm very bad at hex but it still was an awesome experience to observe the ai surpass my performance.
That's another way of asking same question, I have chosen the one I would like to hear:)

Deaths from alcohol != deaths from lockdown. Have you factored in the deaths from cancer, for instance? In the UK, the Macmillan Trust, a cancer charity, have estimated that there are 50,000 missing diagnoses that will be a possible 17,915 deaths in the 12 months following the report[1].

Precision is often as important as accuracy.

As someone who wrte a partial implementation of elisp in Common Lisp, at one point in time...

Yes, elisp is in many ways closer to CL than it is to Scheme. But, it is not very close to CL, once you start looking at the details.
A pity that I haven't found this earlier. OpenLDAP is definitely a pain, especially if you want Docker+Alpine Container+Group Management. I created a Docker container for myself but I wasn't able to get the group feature to work. Maybe I'll check this out. Thank you for mentioning!
The original title («doubles») must be an editor's error.

No there is no reason to be skeptical of the author here because he based his evidence on statistics.

As the author describes, the p-values listed are effectively impossible to get from real data. Because of the magic of mathematics, we know exactly how p-values are meant to behave when you calculate them repeatedly - uniform random between 0 and 1. There are a battery of tests you can use to interrogate this very well understood distribution. Those tests, as the author states, prove without any doubt that the p-values in table 1 are effectively impossible. You can't make it to those p-values by mistake.
I wonder if we should let "git" follow this rule, sometimes.
Is it still the issue with GKE NEGs?

NEG is "network endpoint groups" which basically means that Load Balancers deal not with nodes, but with pods directly. So LBs can know what state the pod is. You can even avoid using Ingress (instead, annotate your k8s Service with neg name, and use backend service for that neg in LB), so it'd be possible to combine k8s and non-k8s services under the same Load Balancer, e.g. for migration.

But I'm afraid NEG or not-NEG, LB still relies on health checks anyway, so it doesn't matter.
> A job is an exchange of services, never get it confused with your own mission or "dream".

A job is also a significant portion of your time. Its hard to make it be both, but its also near impossible to both follow your dreams and work full time separately. Seems like making a job be both is a worthy goal if you can make it work.
I am talking to technical people here. You would not expose that terminology to end users.

As for the man page, I don't want to recommend anyone to install files manually in /usr. The man page is there mostly in case anybody would want to package fri for a distribution.
> The whole world that stayed home is stressed, depressed, not recovered.

Generalising about the "whole world" based on your depressed friend group is not very productive.
And that explains nothing of the concept unless you already know what it means. Share income in what context? Other people answered it, thankfully.
Seems to match the cognitive decline of 20 year olds.

Methinks HN should always include a brief who/why summary in their death-notice headlines - as much as I'd like to think we all already know who early leaders in tech are by-name, I'll admit the low-information "Stephen E. Wilhite has died" headline passed me by and while skimming HN I misread it as "Stephen Wile E. Coyote has died" and didn't care to click further.

...it wasn't until hours later when I was bored and idly reading everything that I saw that I earlier misread the title and learned the CompuServ/GIF connection in the HN comments.

The ~25 GW nameplate capacity of wind power in the UK is producing 0.76 GW as a type this.

Last calendar, it produced > 1 GW for 784 hours.

In the last four months, assuming a 40% capacity factor and therefore an expected capacity of 10 GW, there have been at least three periods with > 100 GWh shortfall.

The UK does not yet, but plans to, shift heating loads onto the electrical grid, meaning that is likely to become a 100 GWh shortfall in heating.

Please, show me an estimate for an alternative fossil-fuel system that can guarantee that shortfall.

edit: more specific to SMRs, and I have ranted on this before: they've been given ~ £ 500 M, which does... just feel like the right amount. We're all aware how 100 times that can be disappear into consultants, and much less simply wouldn't get you a complete product. £500 M I can see engineers spending.

I would've tried to challenge your claims a while ago, but seeing recently how many racists come out of the woodwork as soon as it becomes socially acceptable I'm starting to think I've been naive.

Actually, I think you can take advantage of the situation and look for employment in places where they're not discriminating against ordinary Russians. That likely means they're not bigots in general. I'm not entirely sure, but "How we're supporting Ukraine" banners on tech company websites could be red flags. Any company that is virtue signalling in that way seems likely to me that their management is made up of crypto-bigots (or neo-bigots?).

It might be very hit or miss, considering how many companies simply haven't had the opportunity to openly discriminate yet or may discriminate in unexpected ways, but it's at least a signal to look out for.
Really easy to use, great product!
I'd call that assumption about logistical over-head highly optimistic. Besides all the manual labor still needed before the mounting structure can go up, you still need to set up your "mobile factory". And if that factory isn't working you still incur the fixed costs of said factory. And as things stand, the most robust, flexible and climate tolerant robot to date is still a human. Especially if sad human labor tends to be comparatively cheap.

EDIT: Autonomous forklifts are old tech by now, most container ports are close to be fully automated as are tons of factories all over the world. Heck, we even have automated lawn mowers and hoovers...

Firefox is open source. If people don't like how mozilla is spending it's money, there is nothing stopping another foundation being set up solely to fund developers to work on it.

Unlike Mozilla, it wouldn't be in control of the releases. But features are certainly less likely to disappear if someone is there to maintain them.

At the moment Mozilla does feel like an eggs in one basket situation for the community.

What evidence you have for that claim?

I've met several friends through Meetup. I'm sure there are other apps that help as well.

Perhaps you are not using apps correctly for your location and context, or are not served by them well there.

Would love to read this but it’s got a redirect/reload loop. At least on an iPhone.
The article astutely distinguished between “the will of the majority” and “the will of the people”, which I think is important because there will always be some subset of "the people" that disagree with any policy.

(I suppose one could imagine trivial theoretical policies like "The government pledges not to nuke all of its own cities" which should have universal support from citizens, but this still might not be confirmable through polling data because of Lizardman's Constant.)

So yes, we might be able to say that democracy (if implemented well) allows the will of the majority to be represented most of the time, but the article's point still stands that a winning party or coalition must deliberately commit itself to enacting policies that are unpopular, when intuitively we would think "Why doesn't the party just drop those unpopular policies?".

This is perhaps not surprising, though, as, even considering real world politics in a simplistic one-dimensional way, we know that a left wing party needs to support some unpopular far-left policies if it wants to win the support of such voters, while also trying to appeal to moderates in order to achieve a majority. (Similarly right wing parties need to support some far-right policies to motivate such voters too).

With that observation made, the main thing the article really tells us is that this is an inherent result of majority government, and not specific to any particularly voting system.
If you want to take a break and financial runway is your only concern, move to a low-cost area of the world.

If you live in a high-cost country, I bet your base minimum spending is around 2500 if you're single, and 5000 for a family of four.

You can easily cut their by half in other areas of the world with a good quality of life. Instantly doubles your runway.
Ask HN: How to watch/read YouTube without watching videos?
I have spent at least 10000k hours watching youtube, unfortunately. I have noticed that most videos have clickbait title, even more clickbait splashscreen (a picture we are clicking to) and advertisment on the description. Only the comment section sheds a light on the subject without watching. So, is this possible to load a comment section only but not to load a video at all? If the video is really interesting, sometimes (almost always) it is better to send the link to youtube-dl for watching the video later.

For example, my hobby is welding and I want to get playing some welding playlist in my garage while I am welding, instead of some music. But I do not want to chose what welding video to watch because I am already doing some welding and do not want to distract from metals to computer. That welding videos are needed for me not because I can not weld but because there might be some useful ideas hidden in those tons of speaking. Autoplay is not an option for me because there is a difference between selected videos and proposed.

Remind me the OTC company I have invested year ago, one of the cofounder had a really decent record, I am not expert in the bio research area but i had an impression that he was one of the respected authority in stem cell research. Then I try to find answers for "why stocks are so cheap", turns out his group confidently started fast trials at the beginning of COVID and resulted some deaths. It's hard to judge due to nature of pandemic executing a fast trial but his way of handling the aftermath was totally disaster for his company

Did you even read my comment? You are attacking a strawman.

> You take something that's […] easy to understand for yourself, and somehow generalize it to everyone. "If it's easy for me, it is easy for everyone"

No. I am taking something that‘s easy for me, and suggest making it easy for everybody.

> The better question is why should a layperson ever need to know about systemd in the first place.

They shouldn‘t, and I did not say so. That‘s the strawman.

Does an average Windows user know about the NT kernel? No, and he does not need to.

> When designing products for end users who are not technical, the overriding design goal should be easiness and reliability.

I agree.

> having to learn about systemd, by definition makes the product/system not easy.

You would not have to learn it though. You could just flip a switch in the GUI.

> they should not even have to learn about its existence.

And they would not have to.

I don‘t know how my car works, and I don‘t need to. I can use the simple interface (steering wheel, pedals, shift) which is exposed to me.

Again, complete strawman. You would not edit text files.
It’s 308% the rate of the M1. I already subtracted out the 100% for baseline to get to 208%.

Not necessarily, it can also be that only some parts of your site are dead while others work perfectly fine.
