Yes and I’m saying the cyclists bear some of the decision and outcomes.

Even when everyone tries following the rules, accidents happen between cars and “x”.

When cyclists deliberately break the rules designed for their own safety then what? The law is small comfort to someone maimed or dead.

It’s why I tell people to assume the other driver/cyclist are unaware and will choose to make the “wrong” choice, until proven otherwise.
I'm not quite sure why my stuff keeps hitting the front page, but I'm here for it.

I've since abandoned janet for web app side projects and gone back to ruby entirely but yeah, I still love lisp but it makes more sense to align my work programming language with my side projects that way I can ship my side projects faster, at least that's the thought now.
I just assumed that they set it to such a short timeout by default for a reason, so I never tried it. Huh.
Interestingly, Atlassian (somewhat) famously didn't have coffee. They offered free breakfast and lunch, unlimited ice cream, more booze than you'd ever want, etc. But their philosophy with coffee was that they wanted you to form groups and leave the office for a few minutes a couple of times a day. It was supposedly a method of bonding and spontaneous collaboration. In my opinion it worked well.
I vaguely recall in ~2010 coming across a Plan 9 manpage(?) that seemed to imply that Emacs could work that way in a pipe (in reference to complex/bloated tools on non-Plan 9 systems), but that wasn't true of any version of Emacs I'd ever used.

>COVID disinformation did result in right-wing speech being theoretically suppressed in some places

Example of disinformation being rightfully suppressed: COVID19 could never, ever have been propagated to the world from a lab leak in China, and saying otherwise means you are TrumpNaziKKKracist.

Oh, wait (<https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/fact-check-how-the...>).
That’s just 128+SIGKILL (9).
> Which is pretty ironic because if saying "everything changes constantly" is meaningless, what about your advice to "learn" from a comment on the internet about a man he doesn't know at all that "regrets" something neither of us really know about ?

The OP's statement was a truism used - in this instance - to critique the wife for not "adapting to change". I think I made that pretty clear in my comment. If you can apply that BS truism here, why not elsewhere? Why not just always go with the flow, never have desires or motivations of your own? Why ever object to undesired life changes?

It bothered me, as you can tell. It's not advice based in the reality of a shared life. Telling someone unhappy with the direction of their life that "getting used to change serves everyone" is terrible, borderline offensive advice. The worst takeaway is to blame the woman for not going along to get along, which dijonman2 sure seemed to be doing to me.

I'll take the critique of my own comment, though my point remains: the person who wrote the article was trying to impart a life lesson they learned a hard way, and I encourage that user (and all of us) to reflect on it and potentially learn something. My "maybe" wasn't passive aggressive by intent, it was meant to be interpreted literally, albeit not expressed in a very considerate way.
agree.

WaPo even have an article talking about rich people buying platform. didn't Jeff Bezos bought WaPo?

why only worry about Elon?

Marc Benioff bought Time

Laurene Powell Jobs bought The Atlantic

Patrick Soon-Shiong bought the LA Times

and no one worry about them?
The last part of that story involves everybody in ships A and C dying. Careful what you wish for.
I don't know.

We're in a thread about Nazi Germany. I think it really degrades our ability to communicate effectively when you use the same words to talk about that and 1/6.

Was the holocaust just "more brutal" than 1/6? Of course not. They're in completely different universes, and one of those things pretty much set the standard for brutal.

It's a trend that jumps out at me. People reach for the strongest adjectives by default. It seems like peoples scales just aren't calibrated.

I think the sibling comment might be onto something, maybe there was a missing word there.
Hope there's no microphone or webcam connected to your computer, because an attacker can listen or watch. Also, your firewall is worthless because attackers have a foothold inside your network. Also, hope you don't use the same user/password combination on any windows machines or SMB shares on your network, because those are now pwned too. Buy a game, credit card info stolen.

This is just such a preposterous way to operate.
We use a nice SaaS service for time-tracking and invoicing called Harvest. I'm thinking of it, as when you go to delete an existing invoice, it has a similar prompt to this GitHub prompt. But instead of having you type in the org and repo name, you have to type in "YOLO" (as in, "you only live once" :)
History clearly shows us about tenth of all updates from Microsoft are bogus, if not malicious. I only install those I downloaded and checked manually.
It would be a full rewrite, so moderately easier than writing it from scratch.

The main advantages right now would probably be improved performance, better cross-platform support and access to a wide collection of interoperable community plugins.

The ECS architecture and the fact that's in Rust could also be serious benefits, but for small games, those are really a matter of taste.
Yes, it was called the Individual Mandate. It was a feature of Obamacare which was later repealed.

There are more differences tho. Nazism was not just about Jews. There was a lot more to the ideology: race hierarchy, need for living space, survival of the fittest ideology and so on.

Russia now resembles more Tsarists imperial wars mixed with communist practices.
That's not how this sort of thing works. Musk can't back out of this without paying a tremendous sum to the current shareholders. This isn't like a private company acquisition where there is an extended due diligence where anything can come up. He has very few options to cancel the purchase if it is accepted.
I recently installed this to do a DOS port of a new point and click adventure game my teammates are currently writing for Windows, Linux and macOS. As it has a retro aesthetic and I didn't have anything better to do, I figured that I might as well have it run on DOS.
>> Of course, you can argue that Twitter is a private company and can do whatever they please.

This was what people on the left were claiming when Trump got kicked off. Now? Suddenly they think freedom of speech needs moderation and its not safe in the hands of a single company or Musk having "too much control".

Is there an open issue for that feature gap in KOReader? I'm always curious whether it's just "we haven't gotten there yet" versus "we don't want to do that"
As another commenter suggested I think a really solid foundation in ECS architecture will get you some of the way, but you're totally right that the documentation is sparse. I think the engine should really be thought of as being in alpha right now given how rapidly it's evolving and how unstable different APIs are. I suspect at some point the docs would stabilize.

IMO you should only really bother with Bevy right now if you find it inherently interesting and you are down to dip into the source sometimes. Even in the universe of Rust based ECS game engines there are more stable and documented options.
Interesting, I just came to have this exact problem. I came to conclusion that I should use frames but now I want to try Blu tack.
Even if Fuchsia is crapware, Google has the money to keep polishing that ball of mud, and eventually force it as the new version of Android, quality be damned. The rest of the world will have no recourse but to switch. It will be painful for quite a while, but people will survive. I mean, people survive using Windows, and not enough people switch away from that, either.

I’m not saying that Fuchsia is necessarily bad, I’m saying that Google will do anything to get away from GPL code, including, if necessary, forcing Android to Fuchsia. It doesn’t actually matter if Fuchsia is any good.
Doesn’t that assume that Twitter actually knows that Elon is behind them? They could simply be other investors who have already decided to sell to Elon.
So you'd have every intersection come to a complete stop in all directions for pedestrian crossings? New York would come to a complete standstill.
This is factually true - The exodus from Sun Microsystems started when the takeover news started doing the rounds. The OS team was a shell of what was before. Then Oracle further squeezed that division ~2015-17. All those remain are the switchovers or people who have been promised a lot of TC to keep that brand just about alive.
Yea, over simplify it, that's always great.

If you focus solely on the getting notifications part. But the core part of any community is the ability to broadcast news to them. If you remove the ability to broadcast news and falicate communication between members then the community fades. Especially, if it's remove.

Not all members of a community are extremely active, some aren't that active at all if you remove the ability to let the less active people know stuff that may be of interest to them then obivously it'll damage a community.
I find sponge really useful. Have you ever wanted to process a file through a pipeline and write the output back to the file? If you do it the naive way, it won’t work, and you’ll end up losing the contents of your file:

awk '{do_stuff()}' myfile.txt | sort -u | column --table > myfile.txt

The shell will truncate myfile.txt before awk (or whatever command) has a chance to read it. So you can use sponge instead, which waits until it reads EOF to truncate/write the file.

awk '{do_stuff()}' myfile.txt | sort -u | column --table | sponge myfile.txt

> If you were to simplify it, it would be nationalism on steroids with a deep hate for all other nations

That is a huge oversimplification. Nazis viewed Slavs as inferiors to be enslaved, but they saw Scandinavians much more positively. Hitler admired the British Empire, and prior to the outbreak of WW2, Nazi propaganda was pro-British - Hitler had hoped to recruit Britain as an ally, and was disappointed when it became an enemy instead. Nazi policy towards conquered nations was complex, ranging from genocidal extermination at one extreme, to promoting enhanced minority rights at the other (which they did for the Frisians in the Netherlands and the Bretons in France). Even for Slavs the policy wasn’t purely enslavement - some were to be forcibly assimilated as Germans instead (the Sorbs), and the Nazis were keen to play different Slavic groups off against each other (which is how some Ukrainian nationalists ended up volunteering to fight for the Nazis)
How was Yeltsin bad?
> It could happen here too.

What makes you think it hasn't? How do you know all those drone strikes were on bad people? How do you know that standards of evidence before employing military force haven't been slacked off to the point of meaninglessness? How do you know those secret FISA courts are actually giving full and complete due-process? How do you know that every person in the world's largest slave-labor force definitely deserves to be there? There is an awful lot of stuff that one could point to as being fascist in the modern US system.

And we have a habit of "military adventurism" ourselves... we got ourselves into Iraq through acts of aggression, and that's far from the first.

This is precisely the problem discussed in the article and the comments here - the framing of "us, good wholesome people who love our country, vs dirty vile Russians who support an evil military aggressor" is itself the result of propaganda and messaging. No country is going to message themselves as being the bad guys.

Most people support their country because it's what one does, and there's immense social pressure to do so. And we tend to rationalize away the bad because "well, there's always some bad, but it's mostly good". Most people really don't have (and aren't allowed to have) a full picture of whether the sum is actually good or not, we just assume it.

So in the end, Germans support German tyranny, Russians support Russian tyranny, and Americans support American tyranny, because that's what one does. Why do you think you (or americans in general) are the exception here?
I don't know why this is down voted. Imo, it is accurate.

Hitler is not the only bad genocidal man in world history. It is super possible for Russia to be fascist, genocidal while also having important differences against Hitlers ideology. Being different then Hitler does not make one good or defensible.
> You are fighting an imaginary opponent.

Yes, i'm sure there's an imaginary opponent downvoting my comment.

Also there's a lot into my comment, and people are not even noticing it in the whole context.

If there's no reason, why people get so upset? just move on if you are not being mentioned, as it will clearly be the case if i'm talking about "imaginary opponents"..

> The one proposing it is a long-time kernel contributor.

I'm not saying anything about people working on it specifically, if you read my comment, there's a clear separation between serious people and the hype crowd (which is not just RIIR, but now also cryptocurrency fellows, etc).. i can't say where the people working on this fits, i don't know them. Don't know from which part of my comment you took that conclusion.

There are quiet, clever, serious people doing the work, like Hoare, Matsakis and the people that are real enginners, i have all the respect for them (and im pretty sure Rust have tons of such a people). To be fair, all languages have all kinds of people but i don't know what happen to some of them that tend to attract a certain type of people more than others, like the feeling a got from Haskell community more often than others (but given the community was much smaller)..

For instance talking about culture, C succeeded exactly because it was a pragmatic language very simple and efficient like their founders to get things done. With this culture, things happened to be done around the language and we have the ecosystem we have today.. it's a great hacker spirit of more humble, hard-working, behind-the-cameras sort of people which i sincerely miss in the days of instagram, tick-tock and tech celebritism.
They probably could do a more beautiful art faster if they knew how to use modern tools. But I get your point.

In addition to military history visualized (mentioned by another commenter), I recommend:

* The Chieftain: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChieftainsHatch . He has a series on the development of Armored doctrine for various nations prior to WW2 which is a very interesting dive into what military doctrine is and how it is formed.

* Battle Order https://www.youtube.com/c/BattleOrder covers how troops are organized and divided into squads/platoons/companies/battalions/etc in various countries and at various times.

* If you are interested in World War 2, the World War 2 in real time series on YouTube is also fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldWarTwo .

* For getting the perspective of national security experts dealing with current events, I would take a look at https://warontherocks.com , which has a mix of articles and associated podcasts. The war on the rocks podcast has been doing weekly updates on the state of the war in Ukraine with Michael Kofman, director for the Russia Studies Program at CNA. I've found those very informative.

* Arms Control Wonk (https://www.armscontrolwonk.com/ ) the blog and podcast are interesting for looking at the military from the point of view of strategic stability.

* https://acoup.blog/ is run by a professor of military history. He covers a variety of topics; he does several series analyzing the historical realism of video games and movies for example. But he also discusses some of the fundamentals of military theory, and tends to focus a lot on what the popular imagination gets right and wrong about the military and warfare throughout the ages.

* There are think tanks like the RAND corporation, CSIS, and CNA that publish papers on a variety of topics in military theory and policy. With a little effort, a lot of them are fairly readable to the layman

* For the deepest dive, the US Army field manuals are publicly available if you search around. Skimming through them gave me a much better understanding of how an officer goes about planning an attack, preparing a defense, setting up an ambush, etc.
Still using it to build Kubirds[0] (a Kubernetes operator for monitoring/alerting).

WhatsApp is built with Erlang, as well as RabbitMQ. Discord is built with Elixir.

Some people are starting to build NIFs in Rust with Rustler[1].

Erlang/Elixir and OTP are far from dead. But since there is not a new version every 3 minutes, it's not getting a lot of attention.

It will depend on the commands in question. The entire unix pipeline is instantiated in parallel, so the commands following vipe will already be running and waiting on stdin.

You could kill them before exiting the editor, if that's what you want. Or you could do something else.

The other commands in the pipeline are run by the parent shell, not vipe, so handling this would not be vipe specific.

> This new law means that when an intersection is clear and they already have the right of way, bicyclists ages 15 and older may now treat stop signs as yield signs and treat stop lights as stop signs.

Can someone explain? This, to me, says that bikes can enter a road with ongoing traffic. Yes, it says "when an intersection is clear", which could mean anything ore, more than likely, used irresponsibly. And treating red lights like stop signs also makes no sense. It all sounds like a formula for carnage.

I lack context, which is why I am asking for an explanation.

What problem is this solving? Were cyclists getting killed waiting at stop signs and red lights? If so, the law now allows them to potential ride right in front of moving vehicles? Is that better? How?
Which of the thirty references in that article do you feel are "cherry picking"?

What is your justification for dismissing data because it is "decades old"?

Even being 'somebody' may not enforce it. A few years ago Salesforce hired so many execs from Microsoft that it looked like there's no end to it.
Don't be too sure of that...
I moved to the states from Ukraine, and I must say that I love intersection with 2 stops and find it very strange that lots of the proposals in comments section is to get rid of stop signs.

When I was driving in Kyiv (that has eu-style rules, with most of things covered by signs like yield, main road etc) last year, I missed it so much. The things like yield sign, main road or absence of signs at all, expecting that if you have obstacle on the right you should give way are just not working in places with high traffic and low culture of driving. There is a chance that you will just sit and wait because NOBODY will let you go as you should yield by the rules, when, in case of 2 stops, I could go much earlier.
That sounds like a part-time job to me. I happened to run across this possibly relevant job opening because the company had a SWE role on the Hacker News homepage today: https://jobs.lever.co/goalbookapp-2/63b983f5-00c6-45d0-a9b2-...

(But I'm not affiliated and have no other info!) I guess a downside is that it's not an ongoing position, but on a project-by-project basis.
That's a claim no real study ever has measured to any truly scientific degree.

So it's just a claim.
From paper: “Of the 4.5 million households who met the criteria for inclusion in this pilot program, 3.9 million were randomly selected to receive the intervention.”, “The final sample consists of 4.5 million returns, corresponding to 8.9 million individuals.”

Those in the treatment group were 1.3[1] percentage points more likely to enroll in coverage in the year following the intervention than those in the control group: about 50,000 extra households (~100,000 extra people) were signed up due to the letter.

So, about 200 died because they didn’t receive the letter (But that was offset by the 8 billion lives that were saved by something else that didn’t happen that day.).

[1] “those in the treatment group were 1.3 percentage points more likely to enroll in coverage in the year following the intervention than those in the control group, a 2.8% relative increase. On average, each letter increased coverage among this group by 0.14 months during 2017, or one additional year of coverage per 87 letters sent. We document larger effects among individuals who lacked any coverage during the prior year and among older non- elderly adults.”

Edited: corrected numbers - mistook households for individuals.
