offer really clear eyed commentary on 'all of this,' but they are
also dated - 1990's publishing date. It's like you have to tap into
sometimes hokey "the information age" literature to get a clear read
on 2020's tech.

Yes that's weird isn't it. I don't believe in "suppression

My solution to this conundrum is to anticipate the opposing straight driver's arrival, and match it. I.e. try to arrive at the intersection simultaneously and a beat later so we can then both go at the same time, with them continuing straight and me turning left behind them.

Or, I might get there a bit faster so It's crystal clear that I was first and I can get my turn over with while they're still coming to a stop.

But that gray area in between is no good, for the reason you say: people don't agree on the order of operations. Better to avoid it entirely.

There are Nazi-minded people in every country. Also anti-Nazis. It is not like a war between Nazi-nations and anti-Nazi nations. It is a cold war between autocracy vs. democracy, happening everywhere.

Rich Hickey was already using a native lisp; then he wrote a couple of bridges between it and JVM/CLR before deciding running a lisp directly on the runtime VM was the way to go.
But restrictions like this don't just apply to soldiers, journalists can be prosecuted for revealing classified information, people can be prosecuted for treason because they revealed specific information to foreign agents, people can be sued for defamation. All these are restrictions to free speech.

My argument is every one believes there are limits to free speech they just place the boundaries at different places. And I stand by my position that the soldier example is on a fundamental level a restriction on free speech.
You seem to be arguing in favor of the ability to declare one side entirely bad, while I (using sarcasm) argued against it. I am still not entirely convinced that the ability to completely denounce one side as entirely evil is somehow an important freedom which must be preserved, even if it is sometimes true.

Regarding your examples, I couldn’t possibly comment, for obvious reasons.
As a counterpoint, I'd read Michael Pollan. Also, a fundamental problem with this article is the lumping of 'psychedelics' into a neat category so it can be critiqued. In the real world, the story of what's happening is diverse.

TL;DR: This is a dangerously biased dismissal of actual science and historical progress in understanding of various 'psychedelics', and it's exactly the kind of cherry-picking dismissal that's been fought against for decades.

I think you are confusing APS systems in general (of which Shtora is one) and the subset of APS systems that are hard-kill such as Trophy.

Of course regardless of efficiency, an APS system has to be installed in the first place and it is possible that that is not the common case in Ukraine.

At an international corporation with 60k employees I was once able to leave an amendment to my contract unsigned. I told them straight that the amendment is impossible to fulfill and I won't sign it. Legal told me, oh then just put it into the paper shredder. The amendment granted me significant benefits. My line manager panicked and said you won't see the money. Howewer, the money appeared into my account as originally agreed even though I had not signed that part of the contract.

Yes, I was already an employee, which probably changed things. Still I was very surprised how easy it was. I would not count on that every time, especially if you are not an employee yet and like me not a really famous case that your employment would make headlines.

P.S. I did not shred it, but kept it for the case I would need it for any purpose. I never needed it, I was fully paid as agreed by email but never signed on paper.

I like asking this because while a whole bunch of smaller games do a great job showing examples of how to use the engine, larger games practically demonstrate the scalability of the engine.
I had one of those clauses myself and I knew it was bull before I signed it. I have only seen it enforced once in the wild, to prevent a CEO from creating a competing company for a couple of years.
Seems like a lot of similar ideas! Database-first, typesafety, code generation. Though ultimately SQL has some core incompatibilies with object-orintation, and the active record pattern has some fundamental issues that Neward touches on in his power. Though there's not really any other option in Java.
Interesting. I think it might be a matter of what "leftists" you hang around with/are exposed to, and just possibly how much time you spend on Twitter (a personal bugbear of mine).

Most of my friends consider themselves pretty far on the left, and I don't think any of us have the attitudes about immigration that you're discussing. I think in general our appraisal of the situation is, "It's way more complicated than you think." Reductionist solutions like "Build a wall" or "Remove all borders" are, well, just dumb.

When we talk about the flood of immigrants to our borders, the question frequently turns to root causes. Looking at immigration from Latin America specifically, we have a long history of exploitation and extraction of wealth and resources from those countries. Just like we built our country of slavery, we have done (and are continuing to do) similar levels of exploitation below our southern borders. So when you think of things from that point of view, the range of possible solutions does not usually include "remove our borders" (seriously I've never heard anybody advocate that. If you have, I wonder if it was on Twitter?). It's more like, "corporations who do this kind of thing ought to be heavily taxed, or else prove that they are improving the lives of people in their home countries", etc.

So, as a sort of tl;dr - the leftists I know don't advocate massively increased immigration. We are in favor of treating people humanely, and increasing regulation and taxation on corporations that benefit from keeping places unstable and generally undesirable places to live.
DuckDuckGo Removes Pirate Sites and YouTube-DL from Its Search Results
Good lord.. While I know about existence of APS especially on Merkava tanks, this video really shows how modern warfare can brush right up against science fiction.

We're able to detect an incoming round and automatically kill it with a directed explosion, all faster than you can blink. What, are we going to see munitions that has submunitions of its own to counter the countermeasure next? (That might be a reasonable development actually)

Either way I'm fortunate that these things aren't used around me, and I'm not in any danger. I would love to one day see those C-beams glitter, as a spectator in safety
I agree completely with this article. And I understand fully if you don't. But for me, nothing I have done in remote work compares to my in-person work at really well-functioning companies.

I struggle to recall a single memory of my remote working career older than 4 months old. But my head is full of memories of my in-person work because, while sometimes grueling, was often full of fun, surprises, bonding experiences, challenging conversations, war rooms etc.

Most of all I worry that our younger employees don't know what they've missed out on. I hope they can find a way to develop great memories of their own in this brave new world.
Predictably stupid. They're going to come back and say the company is worth >$70B.
> Software at this scale and complexity will have vulnerabilities.

Certainly. The question is what provisions the software has made to mitigate those potential vulnerabilities by notifying users that a patch is available and allowing them to automatically apply that patch.

Deliberately removing these mitigations from a piece of software which is highly exposed to exploits, like a web browser or an operating system, is nothing short of irresponsible.

Instead the leadership would just be biased towards Elon's whims. It would definitely be entertaining, but I'm not sure why people assume it would suddenly be more free and open.

Show HN: React state management you already know how to use
This supposed “important news” is an invented (probably Russian) propaganda story that couldn’t be confirmed by any of the news outlets who investigated it and was hyped up by armies of Russian bots and Russian-funded media trolls, immediately before a presidential election. [According to proponents of this story, the chain of custody of this laptop goes: Hunter Biden → Repair Shop (owned by a legally blind GOP partisan hazy about the details) → ??? → Rudy Giuliani → Steve Bannon → NY Post → Matt Gaetz. Seriously?]

A year and a half later, the course of the Russian invasion of Ukraine provides solid evidence that we should be thankful for social media companies’ rare responsible anti-propaganda effort here. Instead of dissolving NATO and dropping Russian sanctions as the previous president repeatedly suggested, the US instead provided significant diplomatic, military, intelligence, and economic support, and now Ukrainians have a good chance of holding their country.

Once again, remember that impeachment #1 was about a ham-handed explicit attempt by the US president to extort president Zelenskyy of Ukraine, denying US military aid unless he would fabricate dirt on the president’s political opponent and (falsely) exonerate Russia. For that effort, the president’s entire party (with only a few notable exceptions) gave him a pat on the back.
Interesting. Technically it doesn’t contradict my statement, as 1:1 must be some sort of Panglossian survival ratio :-). But of course you twigged that that wasn’t what I was thinking at all at all, which is what makes your comment so interesting.

But it takes a lot of effort to make offspring, so none of them would be of a “surplus” sex. I must say that I’m surprised that the 1:1 ratio survives in schooling or herding species in which a large proportion perish. I suppose it’s insurance against an unfortunate loss of all males. There’s probably an interesting maths PhD in there someplace.
> Specifically, Ukraine had nuclear weapons when it split from the Soviet Union and gave them up in exchange for security guarantees.

Yes: They had them, but....

No: They did not really control them or had the ability to maintain them.

Roads are made with a speed limit specifically matched for cars.

Firebird can do both, though.
I have been seeing a lot of news articles from university websites on HN recently.

Do people realize that they essentially function as hype-generation outlets and are not intended to provide an objective and unbiased assessment of the research?
Yeah, this is always true. I think I was coming more from the perspective of a 1-6 month freelance project being a lower commitment than starting a new full time job. Even if I could absolutely jump ship after 1-6 months anyway, signing on full time just feels like more of a commitment. And also that I'm fairly sure I would run into the same problems at each company I moved to that I do at each of my previous companies.

Freelance or contract work might also open the door to more projects where I could be the sole or primary developer on something. A lot of my problems stem from how writing software on a team is almost like trying to write a novel with 30 other authors, who all have a different creative vision for the book.

The "What's included" section direly needs either clearer/longer descriptions, or at least links to the tools' own pages (if they have them) where their use case and usage is explained. I've understood a lot more about (some of) the tools from the comments here than from the page - and I'd likely have skipped over these very useful tools if not for these comments!
I definitely agree that performance is really not the thing that hobbyist game developers need. However, hobbyist game devs aren't (our only) target market.

Right now, the team who is seeing the most success with Bevy are actually building CAD software! They needed something powerful, fast, incredibly flexible with "game-like" functionality.

That said, from talking to the hobbyists in the community, they like Bevy because it's:

- code-first

- written in Rust (C# is fine, but Unity's C# is something of a DSL, and game engine C++ is really rough)

- cares about good documentation and a helpful learning experience

- supports them in contributing fixes to issues they run into

- is incredibly flexible: you can just swap in your own physics or rendering to realize that weird idea you had, or just for the learning experience
Paint me surprised. I would never guess that it was made in the old ms paint. It does not seem like an adequate tool for the job. Still the effect is great, so maybe I am missing something.

You say that some issues of The Economist are propagandist. I am inclined to take this opinion seriously. This said I wonder how you got to this conclusion. What exactly ticked you off?

Apologies for any offense my post gave you, then. I sincerely hope you have a great rest of your day (and to be extra clear, because writing on the Internet is hard, that's not sarcasm).

I remember making inputs into Desmos or some similar graphing package. Gave some pretty interesting and surprising results in that the whole thing broke apart into something more akin to noise. If I indeed did it correctly, then it makes a lot of sense.
That's how the game is played. If you want to take over a company without the consent of its executives, it's going to be a fight and you're probably going to lose.
I would argue that Russia did not had much of democratic institutions in the first place. And Putin was just returning back to the practices he learned when he was young and middle aged KGB agent the first moment it seemed useful.
While this is an easy idea to agree with, I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Michelangelo made David with what are surely basic tools when compared to modern machining apparatuses. Yet he still created something for the ages. While advanced tools can definitely cut down the amount of time you spend on something, they don't necessarily make the outcome any better. A master can create a masterpiece even with just a chisel (or Paint).

>Things work the opposite way. In order to get companies to adopt things you need to get people working their interested in it.

This would mean that the only OSes are first created by hobbyists, then fanboys use it then a company adopts it. But there are commercial OSes and commercial software that are created by a company to solve a problem and not by random dudes and companies then adopts it.

IMO is sad that we the tech industry are stuck with old OSes and old architecture while you have this giants that use open source software to make billions and they could find researching and creating of a few new revolutionary OSes like it happened in the past. And I don't mean desktop OS that will defeat Windows.

It's true you can't undo the past but it's still a major difference. A population having the ability to speak freely and change elected leaders can effect change and prevent governments from continuing bad policies. Is it really that difficult to see how different that is from a continual status quo?

Tanks have always been vulnerable to cheaper weapons, whether that's an anti-tank gun hidden in rubble or a NLAW. This is why tanks require infantry support---to locate and deal with those threats while the tanks deal with things the infantry cannot.

Many of the videos from Ukraine have been ambushes (sort of a separate matter) or of AFVs operating without close infantry support. That's not a good way to do things.

> Elon would back out.... He doesn't even have funding lined up

Can one just walk up to SEC and file an offer to buy out a company all-cash without showing some evidence of how they plan to arrange the money? Isn't there an entry barrier? Also, shouldn't there be a clause to penalise backing out? If not then one could toy around with the share prices as you say, no?
I had a driving examiner try to fail me for that very offense when I took my test long ago. I was in a neighborhood, on the vertical part of a T intersection with no stop sign present. I slowed until I had a clear view that there was no traffic approaching from either direction, then proceeded.

I complained when I returned. Asked to be shown where that rule was present in the state's official driver's manual. It wasn't in there. I passed.
Idempotency is something I think about constantly. It's part of my Optimize For Sleep® development philosophy. You have to assume that 1) your program can and will fail at any arbitrary point during execution and 2) the caller of your code will retry it with reckless abandon every time it fails (or even if it doesn't). I know this because I am often on both sides of my own code, the writer and the caller. Managing state to avoid side effects takes a lot of mental effort and devs often get complacent or rush through it, but eventually it is going to burn you.
