If you read closely (imo), it’s the desperate class(es) on both supply and purchasing side that drove the poaching cycle. Generally speaking, ruling class are secure enough in their status they don’t need the “short term sale over the long term benefits” or the “look I’m special/unique too because I bought a really big bee that you don’t have.”
They touch on this idea in ventriloquism. The idea is that your brain normally stops you from saying the first thing you think of, because you're afraid. But when you have the puppet, the puppet can say anything because it's not you. It lets you get that first thought out that normally would have stayed hidden.

i have never owned or even ridden in a honda element, but the fact that you can hose it out is distinctly lodged in my memory. if it's not true i assume it wasn't claimed in an actual ad, but it was definitely a widely circulated fact at some point.

in general i'd assuming hosing out a car is an awful idea, but if for some reason i had a dirty honda element, i'd probably hose it out.

Even brilliant for adults: I did my entire professional website in iWeb when I started as a solo attorney back in 2011.

For Linux, look at the eBPF tools - they're really useful[0]. I've used them to troubleshoot annoying problems before, and they're far more practical to use than the usual `strace -f ./program` dance.

Nope. It’s stuff people agree with and care about: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/opinion/biden-latino-vote...

> We began by asking eligible voters how “convincing” they found a dog-whistle message lifted from Republican talking points. Among other elements, the message condemned “illegal immigration from places overrun with drugs and criminal gangs” and called for “fully funding the police, so our communities are not threatened by people who refuse to follow our laws.”

> Almost three out of five white respondents judged the message convincing. More surprising, exactly the same percentage of African-Americans agreed, as did an even higher percentage of Latinos.

I guess it’s easy not to care about this stuff if you didn’t literally flee your homeland to get away from it.

> This means that the comparison has to be stored in the struct, with the corresponding runtime overhead.

The runtime overhead is solvable in principle by making the comparison a const-generic parameter of the data structure type. But to do this properly requires dependent types, because the type of that const-generic parameter is taken from an earlier parameter in the same definition. It's a dependent sum type, sometimes called a dependent record.
In fact, the sun at sunset which appears to be above the horizon is already well below the horizon, precisely because the atmosphere is less dense at higher altitudes. See https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_26.html Fig. 26-7

I felt "generics" became the term of industry to contrast to templates, and then if some environment provides generics it is wholesome and good vs nasty template metaprogramming.

I also think in that in the context of managed environments .NET was also pushing "generics" terminology (again vs templates) at the same time, and across more languages.

The suspicion of manipulation is based on years of evidence of "troll farms" and other social media campaigns. To think that HN is immune is naive.

If arguably the smartest tech group on the internet cannot devise a defense, then we're more doomed than I thought. After all, at the opposite end of the spectrum we have "AI" at Google and other companies banning users based on incomprehensible algorithms. Surely there's a path between the extremes.

Consider for a moment how little it would cost to pay people to post on HN. Other HN readers don't even need to see it; it just needs to get indexed by search engines. That adds the weight of HN to the content which it is linking to as far as the search engines are concerned. They probably aren't measuring HN reader votes.

So the question is, should we allow HN to be used as a lever to promote anything that a financially-backed group wants to promote? Or can we devise ways to reduce or eliminate this?
I have worked with a lot of freight drivers. They have to do some seriously stressful tasks:

- unloading pallets, some over 1.5k lbs in weight. When they’re stuck, the truck driver is responsible for getting them out, and that’s that. Not every small biz has a forklift lol.

- you drop off your load in a warehouse and nobody is there to receive it/unclear directions/your pickup directions suck. You spend the next hour walking around a warehouse searching for someone to sign for you.

- backing up to a dock and interrupting traffic = outraged commuters who get ridiculously upset

- unloading broken pallet loads by hand.

I couldn’t and wouldn’t do it.

Hmm might be different terminology. An uncle owns a mid sized shipping company and described things as owner operators either own the truck outright or lease it from an independent company. Their employer then just pays per trip and maintenance is effectively coming from that payment. Either directly out of pocket or with higher lease payments.

The other option was for the employer to own the truck. They might then lease the truck to their employee but the difference is the lease automatically ends if their fired.
It's worth noting that the government has 3 primary tools for dealing with the burden of debt. (Debt brings with it interest payments, reducing the effectiveness of government.)

1) Tax increases. Political poison.

2) Reductions in entitlements. Unpopular with many (depending on which entitlements are reduced.)

3) Inflation. Sometimes nearly invisible, it only becomes politically dangerous when it's a good deal above average and in the public eye. (We are there now.)

How is the inter-state (between US states) commerce clause relevant to an international border crossing?
You generally may not be able to fire unionized workers on strike (depending on what it’s regarding) but at least in the US it’s not against the law to hire temp workers during a strike. The only power a strike has is shutting down operations, if the strike doesn’t do that because of scabs, it’s essentially ineffective. In my opinion any labor union that calls a strike that doesn’t result in work stoppage is not helping its workers.

Responsible parenting. Learning how to deal with my teenagers and help them become good citizens. I'm glad there are a lot of helpful tips and articles online. Though our own experience is the best teacher for this topic.
This certainly came as a surprise to my team today.

We operate some number of repositories and the majority of them use https://github.com/actions-ecosystem/action-get-latest-tag - or more specifically, a fork of that repo which more or less works the same way.

Midday today our CI/CD started failing. We must have hit this so soon because the `apk add git` in that Dockerfile grabbed the new git version. Evidently the SID that ultimately executed the git command inside the included actions' dockerfile was not the same as the one that owned `/github/workspace` on the runner.

We were able to patch around using the new `safe.directory` option, but I'm curious to see if there's more fallout since CI/CD environments in particular create this sort of shared repository.
If that's the case, it's not what's discussed in this article. I don't think there are popular original songs being covered in this list of "background jazz" songs, and if they were, the originals were presumably not the same kind of moody muzak that the playlists are designed around. This is a "scam" in the same sense that the CDs of generic mellow coffeehouse music you could get at Starbucks were "scams".
yeah, words of encouragement can be great, but i don't think anybody at LetsEncrypt is in any doubt that Google is happy with the work they are doing.

also, i get the sense that getting wider adoption for FIDO outside of LetsEncrypt is a bit of a goal, so having a third-party announce support for FIDO without referring to it as "the LetsEncrypt protocol" is kind of a win for the FIDO people.
I’m not sure it would still be true. Your hypothesis that smart people can still make good money without unnecessarily doing illegal things sounds logical, but people with high risk tolerance sometimes do things simply _because_ they’re high risk.

The book “The Mastermind” was about a guy who operated a nearly legal business that broke open the telemedicine industry, only to use the proceeds to fund wet works, piracy (not digital, like actually killing people and taking over vessels) and general shady stuff.

I think if you get a person who is motivated by money and power to a certain degree, they may actually prefer illegal business because there won’t be as much competition.
My dream would be bidirectional openAPI. I used it for a project and liked it but after the generators are run, making changes becomes more not less work to keep the spec and code in sync.

I've never seen a laptop with a "broadcom SoC" that could make that claim.

Repos can have precommit hooks, which are just executables (usually executable she'll scripts, but anything will do) that will run (as your user) on commit, checkout, etc.

I feel like this change is a far bigger one than thought, and it's gonna break some workflows, such as mine where I have a git repo that's shared between multiple "users" that I run applications as. I'm glad I've not gotten too far into this project. The next step is just to keep doing a pull/push cycle on every commit, but it's a bit more of a pain to make that happen.

Whatnot Built 5 New Beta Features in Its First Hackathon, with Minimal Planning
Some of us read every post, top to bottom, end to end, including those missing from the chronology. You decided to refute any criticism, clearly without taking the time to read even one of the original posts.

You didn't even bother to read the post you responded to, or you'd realise it was essentially supporting your uninformed position. You have a made a name for yourself by being vocal, but it takes more than that. Step up or step out.
You’re thinking of the framework ProKit, which was used by a bunch of apple’s pro apps.

I intentionally did not identify the poster. But if you look at recent submissions regarding birds and phys.org, you'll find them.

As for hyperbole, I think it's a valid concern. If that user is allowed to operate freely, (and assuming that user is being paid or is a bot), then we can expect many more like them to appear. Then indeed HN will be drowned in garbage submissions.

Unless the mods have analytics which identify odd patterns of behavior, they will depend on users to flag things. And if only a few users flag something, then most other users won't see it. Thus, it only gets "some" flags.

It seems more reasonable to judge a user by the volume of posts and submissions over time. Who legitmately has time or motivation to submit 10+ things per day? Or to do that several days in a short period? Even if that is a real human choosing to promote content, does that not suggest some behavior which is likely to be detrimental to HN as a gathering place?
Could you (or anyone who understands) explain what these do?

And for that matter, no real disrespect intended to Batiste, who is a talented guy, but would he have won a Grammy if he wasn't associated with a popular TV show? Does the involvement of CBS in promoting his work make him a "fake artist"? I don't think that's fair at all.
The law says the specified range must be "in good faith"[1]. Your example would be easy to identify as bad faith.

Posting a large range also works against the employer for the most part. If I want to pay someone $15/hr, but I list the range as $15-60/hr, then any candidate offered $15/hr is going to think I'm valuing them very poorly.

Ok. Even so, I think there could be some automation to at least hold submissions for review based on patterns.

Perhaps I'm lazy, but I can't imagine submitting 10+ links per day. That seems like a bit of an outlier which could be identified programmatically.
I know plenty of people that don't own a TV or a monitor, they only own a phone and they have a locked to portrait mode. I wouldn't be surprised if you checked the world and there were more of those people than TV owners at this point. Why should they have to make their videos for TV users?

That's a strange take considering generics can provide important type safety benefits in many situations. For example, without generics, there's no way to implement the `MapKeys` example from the article unless you want to give up type safety and resort to unsafe casts. The performance impact is likely to be negligible in most code unless you're calling generic functions in a tight loop and you've exhausted every other optimization opportunity and you're in a position that requires such micro-optimization. That's a lot of ifs.
You don’t have to stack -v like that: -v inverts all the -e expressions, so this should be equivalent:

> When critics diverge so far from the role of answering the question "what's a movie I would enjoy" then no, they're not doing their job.

There's no critic that can predict what you'll like, since tastes in films differ so much.

I have a friend I don't discuss movies with much, because we disagree on pretty much every single one we've both seen; it's literally impossible for a single critic to directly tell us both what we'd like.

With that preface, I have recommended an Element to multiple acquaintances on account of (seemingly) being able to hose out the inside!

Whatever the root of this perceived 'capability', the dissemination of it was remarkably effective. If you asked me why I thought this, I would say that my recollection was that the official marketing campaign highlighted it as a feature.

Thanks for the interesting reply. Related to the Swiss model, how society controls levels of automation, and also resilience, you might like the sci-fi novel "Retrotopia" by John Michael Greer. It explores those issues from one perspective.

A couple of things:

People today confuse reviews with criticism. The two are not the same. A review is a consumer recommendation, i.e. should you pay to see this movie? Criticism is discussion of a piece of art. Both are inherently subjective.

Second, how many new movies did you watch this year? I'm guessing for most people, it's >10 (data seems to suggest it's even lower). If you are a film critic and you watch 50 movies a year, you're more likely to gravitate towards the less bombastic, crowd-pleasing movies. Same with games. If you've played 50 FPS's, then that indie-platformer is more likely to grab your attention.

Personally, I like guys like Mark Kermode, who can say "this movie was complete and utter nonsense and I had a great time" or "this was a really smart movie, but it just didn't work".
