Do you know of Chris Hedges? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hedges

Everything he says is 100% true.

But he never offers suggestions about how to make things better.

Even though I agree with Hedges, empathically, I just can't stand listening to him. He's an Eeyore.

People need hope, affirmation, reasons to keep struggling, a wee bit of joy.

Especially when everything seems so pointless.
Nuclear proliferation is absolutely good thing. Just imagine if Iraq or Afghanistan had nukes and capability to deliver them to DC or NYC. And did exactly that in response. World would be much more happy and safe place.
Would it be possible for these contagious vaccines to require some secondary medication be taken to be activated? Ideally something with no active ingredients that could be sold OTC at pharmacies.

People focus too much on Azov.

They (Azov battalion ) are 1000 - 1500 (depending on source) people , and apparently only 10% - 20% of them are self proclaimed Nazis. Even if all of them are, It would surprise me if this was even the biggest Ukraian Nazi group.

Most Westerner nations have more, hell In US you would be hard pressed to find a state that has less of them.

Not trying to excuse them. Any white supremacist and/or nazi has no place in modern society. Just trying to put things in perspective. If Azov is all the nazis that Ukraine has, they are better than most western countries.
Also explains how Pivotal was able to refactor it into a MPP (Greenplum).
Societies are descriptive, not prescriptive.

That is, what people do constitutes society.

If you want a better society, then act better. Do what you can.

Do you care about the people affected by this? Can you do something about it? Then do so.

Is there something preventing these advocates from paying the bills for the people they are concerned about?
These days, you can easily look them up. To viz:

Interestingly, the first given translation is itself an idiom (lit. "to wait for the thick/fat end"). An idiom I understand, even though I had no idea where it's from; I looked it up, it relates to corporal punishment. The second translation is a more generic one.
Even if they're wrong, the careful introspection implies good faith, and this should become apparent by how a person talks about their beliefs, especially wrt to their acknowledgements about other peoples beliefs and feelings.

I think the risks of that person being or becoming a villain are quite low, and certainly not high enough to justify self censorship (not saying you were suggesting that).
Just go to the thread on HN discussing their Nobel Prize. They're most known for their study on Cuban migrants to Miami, where many migrants came and wages didn't fall.

Many, many economists cite this study to say that immigration doesn't reduce wages. And it is true, often. However it's not because an influx of workers doesn't create downward pressure on wages. It's because there's other factors which keep wages rising.

Now in Canada we have a situation where our immigration levels are so high that we don't even pretend it doesn't affect wages anymore.

Understanding the Web Security Model, Part III: Basic Principles and the Origin
I'm sorry I can't add much more detail as I'm no expert and I'm paraphrasing an off-hand comment I heard around the time the book was published. The short of it is that Bowen & Lewis seem to take grammatical positions at odds with the rest of the field. This doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong. As you are likely aware, the Sumerian language is poorly understood and there's plenty of disagreement among Sumerologists.
Samsung has some crazy thing turned on by default which makes selfies into air-brushed portraits where you've applied blush and a sparkle to your eye. It's surreal, ridiculous and generally disturbing.

Happily, since it's a non-iOS device, I can just turn it off.

Apple is Apple. Bitching about the way they over-coddle their users is a pastime almost as old as I am at this point, so I won't. I'd be a devoted Apple zealot if they gave power users the ability to customize their devices. It's disappointing they don't, as they have such nice kit, but I'm not their target market and never have been, so I just use other products.

Apple hasn't noticed my personal boycott, yet, but any day now, they'll notice and cave in to my demands, I'm sure.
Being more specific often ends up more tightly coupling your selector to the structure of the DOM. .className { property: value !important; } is more resilient to DOM changes than adding extra selectors to increase specificity.
Not entirely related, but the other day I wanted to add 6502 CPU (old stuff) support to GDB. The code of GDB is a nightmare to understand. I don't say it's good or bad, I really can't judge. But adding a CPU is scary, at best... Even if there is a supportive community and documentation.

Are there other debuggers out there that are easier to extend ?

You should look into the Mill CPU architecture.[0] Its design should make microkernels much more viable.

* Single 64-bit address space. Caches use virtual addresses.

* Because of that, the TLB is moved after the last level cache, so it's not on the critical path.

* There's instead a PLB (protection lookaside buffer), which can be searched in parallel with cache lookup. (Technically, there's three: two instruction PLBs and one data PLB.)

> I used to be the outsider asking the big companies, and their silence would drive me nuts. Do they not know about this technology? Why wouldn't they use it?...I finally get it now having seen it from the other side. They are usually well aware of various technologies but have reasons not to use them which they usually won't share.

I can't speak for the OP, but this insight often just comes with experience and rarely needs seeing it "from the other side".

With some exceptions, the reality is that most technologies aren't introducing a new class of tool.

They're not contributing a wrench to a world that had only seen hammers and screwdrivers, let alone a power drill or industrial crane. The innovations they contribute are more incremental than a lot of early-career developers realize: they're a wrench with a more ergonomic handle, or a hammer with a claw on the back. They're a power drill with a simpler way to change bits.

If your organization already knows how to do its job with some other style of wrench or hammer or power drill, there are many reasons you might pick some new one, but few reasons you should pick any particular one at any particular time.

Articulating an answer to "buy why not?" is usually just an exercise you perform for the benefit of juniors, outsiders, marketers, evangelists and people who happened to be used to that tool already.

I think they're great - I earned my VLSI chops building stuff in the 90s and I can write Verilog about as fast as I can think so it's my goto language. I've also written a couple of compilers over the years so I know it really well (you can thank me for the '' in "always @()"). That's just my personal bias.

Inertia in tooling is a REALLY BIG deal - if you can't run your design through simulation, (and FPGA simulation), synthesis, layout/etc you'll never build a chip - it can take a 5-10 years for a new language feature to become ubiquitous enough so that you can depend on it en ough to use it in a design (I've been struggling with this using System Verilog interfaces this month).

If you look closely at VRoom! you'll see I'm stepping beyond some Verilog limitations by adding tiny programs that generate bespoke bits of Verilog as part of the build process - this stops me from fat fingering some bit in
a giant encoder but also helps me make things that SV doesn't do so well (big 1-hot muxes, priority schedulers etc)
With other devs I refer to it as GIMP, but sometimes in mixed company (management present) I'll call it "GNU IMP". Just partially expand the acronym.

Yup. If you've used important it should be accompanied by documentation. So much of frontend development work is using, adapting, updating, or integrating code you have no control over that it's inevitable to need to use some blunt force on occasion...

> If it's having no job and being a grunge bum but wearing nice clothes that you scammed off someone that's what you'll see a whole lot of. If it's wealth and security of lifestyle you will see men move toward that. It is only the nature of things.

Being the best at scamming or gaining wealth may not be a worthy goal, but it shows you can be good at something. Merely being able to become good enough at something to beat out 90 or 99% of the population who are actively trying to achieve the same ends, may not be completely reliable but it's not a bad indicator to find someone who can at least adapt and execute well which is a pretty good indicator of someone with the skills to ensure survival of their family (even if it means in the future the needs for survival change completely).

If I had to bet on who could be the more successful software engineer for instance, I'd place my bet on the best scammer before a mediocre CS grad. I think human attractiveness has a sort of innate understanding that the task isn't so much that matters as seeing who can adapt and succeed at mastering and being the best at tasks.
Ask HN: Thoughts on Food Deliveries
Hi HN, random question for you as I’m assuming there are a good amount of folks here ordering food via apps.

How do you feel about food being left on the floor at your front door?

Does this bother you at all? Have you put a bench or something in place for orders? Do you request drivers hand you the food directly? Could you not care less?

Any other food delivery based complaints you would like to share?

Thanks for taking the time to provide your thoughts.
This is a very interesting problem! I'm the cofounder of Pabio (YC S21), we do rent-to-own furniture with interior design, and one of the things I've observed is the vast discrepancy in prices on different websites but also at different times (much like predatory flight ticket pricing). Super excited to see more companies innovate to disrupt the traditional furniture industry! Best of luck and stay in touch!

>> Load limiters allow for continued operation of a furnace, a few lights and small appliances (but only one at a time). If too much electricity is used at once, the limiter will trip — turning off the power all together, until the meter is reset physically by the client or remotely by the distribution company.

>Ok. Freeze or starve. A choice.

It's unclear what they mean by "a few lights and small appliances", but a crock pot apparently only consumes 240W (according to an amazon listing). That's probably within the limit. The food won't be great, but you're also not going to starve to death.

edit: Another commenter[1] has mentioned the limit is 15A, which works out to be 1800W. That seems plenty enough to operate a furnace, refrigerator, some lights, and some basic cooking appliances (eg. crock pot) all at the same time.

Quite possibly the economy could be better after COVID? Something that mostly kills off older retirees could reduce economic drain (although it depends on lots of factors).

My understanding is that it started out that SoftPC bundled with Windows licenses were sold as SoftWindows, and later there were optimizations.
The funny thing is, every eCommerce site already knows this at least implicitly. We've all heard the "every X ms of additional latency on the site reduces our conversion rate Y bps". Adding friction to anything means it's much less likely to get done.

Even for commercial software, if it were easy to purchase, I'd still have to figure out how to make sure we comply with the licensing, get the key into the server, figure out how to deploy it (and not be able to inspect the software to see how it works if I need to).

Or I can just go to github, make sure it has an acceptable license, and run import-from-pypy foobar==1.0.

How is it fair to require involuntary servitude on the part of paying customers to pay for what they did not use?

Those who are actually concerned should pay the bill if it is important to them. Pushing the bill onto others while expressing concern is not real concern. Forcing one person to pay for what another person needs is involuntary servitude (slavery).

I remember that reading bash.org 15 or so years ago was pretty hard for me, because many puns and slang was confusing or ambiguous for me. I wish I remembered specific examples.

Well actually I do have one from that time, but not from bash.org: when I started playing nethack I remember being confused because the game would describe foul foodstuffs as "tasting terrible", but in colloquial French (my native language) "terrible" is often used as a positive adjective (much like "awesome" shifted from meaning "inspiring terror" to "excellent" in the English vernacular).

So, when the game says that something "tastes terrible", does it mean that it tastes awful or awesome? I now know the answer, but back then it wasn't so obvious.
It was definitely a problem in the past, hence why they originally went with the Russians. But since then OneWeb has been bought by the British government so while its a similar tech I don't think they are strictly competitors anymore.
I wasn't suggesting closing the base. It seems like he could have attempted to do a run around congress. Instead of closing the base or detention center or whatever he could have transferred the troops to different bases.

Several of the prisoners released (re)joined terrorist organizations when they got back to the Middle East. I am of course not suggesting he should have released more prisoners.

I was thinking more of transferring prisoners to a Middle East base. I think doing questionable things to enemy combatants in a war zone is generally considered more acceptable? I am not sure if he could have done that or not. I assume if he transferred the base personnel to a Middle Eastern base they could have taken the prisoners without extra cost. (There of course would be an extra cost, but no additional money would need to be spent)

If there is one thing politicians are known for it is wiggling their way out of stuff with slick maneuvers. I am sure Obama could have figured out a way.

> And I think that's entirely missing the point of functional programming. The goal wasn't to remove inheritance in favor of composition, it was to remove STATE - which in turn results in the nice property that functions can be composed, because they take all relevant data as arguments (they are pure).

I came here to see this said...regardless of the method used, state is what is challenging to maintain, regardless of how your framework or tool modifies and tracks it. And the only way I know of to properly wrap some sense of sanity around complex state modification is with unit tests, again, regardless of framework/tool. If you can't test it with a unit test, then you're going to struggle manually testing it as well, even if it does usually work.

A side-note is that I always thought the obvious split for functional/class-based React components was stateless/stateful (as full-blown objects are basically purpose-built for tracking state), so I was surprised when I joined this new project at my employer and learned about the interesting world of hooks. I rarely dabble in React however.

My snarky side today wants to add "developers struggle with maintaining state, what else is new".
As a "serious amateur" photographer at this stage of my life, the last thing I want my camera to do is be "smart".

I use a Fujifilm X-Pro3, and while I have a variety of lenses, I almost always have my 23mm f/1.4 mounted. With the crop factor that gives me a "traditional" 35mm focal length. I almost always shoot with fully manual exposure, and only use autofocus about half the time.

I chose this kit specifically because I have full control over the image with physical controls to make changes - I can change shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and even dynamic range without taking my eye out of the viewfinder.

The X-Pro3 is pretty much made for me and my use case. While it has a "screen", it's folded into the back of the camera and isn't visible unless I manually flip it down. It can't practically be exposed when I'm using the camera normally. It's handy if I want to shoot at waist level or if I want to show someone standing next to me an image... but that's it.

I have nothing against "computational photography", and it definitely has its place - but for me, as for most photographers, that place is in post-processing. Adobe is responsible for that stuff, not my camera. I expect my camera to produce a RAW file as an artifact, not an "image".

Samsung is the king of oversmoothing. I've used the note 4, s8, 10+ and s21 ultra and imo the camera has always been subpar exactly because of that. I actually have no idea how most reviews have been constantly praising the cameras of flagship Samsung phones when in practice even at launch it was always a disappointing experience.

Even with the s21+, the only way to really get decent shots from the camera in low/medium light before a recent update was to use modded Gcam builds. Even with the update I'd say it maybe compares to an iPhone 8 or x

Overprocessing and oversaturation were so bad before the s10+ that I remember not even bothering with the camera at all because of how frustrating it was to always get mediocre pictures.

Zavala: A good, simple outliner for macOS and iOS
Perhaps the valid problem is the public getting too close to police officers performing their duty, commonly while ostensibly filming, endangering either the police officers, or the public in the process.

Does a police officer have to worry about a legitimate journalist or honest citizen 5' away filming them while performing an arrest? No. But how exactly does the cop know the person is a legitimate journalist or honest citizen, and not an acquaintance of the person being arrested?
Ask HN: Is anyone here using “Hey Cafe”?
There was some discussion about a "new social platform" some time ago:

https://hey.cafe/

Is anyone here using it? What's your experience of it? I haven't registered and wanted to see what was there, but I can't work out if there are just lots of isolated posts, or if there are discussions and not being logged in means I can't see them.

It doesn't feel especially new, or special, or engaging, and I'm wondering if that's what it's like, or if I'm genuinely missing something.

So ... anyone here using it?
