I'm sorry but it was not fully clear from your two posts what do you actually think about NATO stance on Ukrainian and Russian relations, but I take your word on it and I apologize for my mistake.

Because you made multiple wrong statements about the situation, I concluded that it is most likely that you are intentionally misleading people. You maybe also be simply misinformed but active to share your opinion regardless

Either way, it is factually wrong as I explained in my post. If you read what has been said in Russia about Ukrainians, you can see that certain people WANT Ukrainians to consider themselves Russians. But you can see also that they are extremely hostile towards people who do not consider themselves Russians.

It has been also demonstrated to be factually wrong based on extreme and extensive violence that has been committed against Ukrainians near Kyiv (and as far as is known, also in Mariupol).

Timothy Snyder, author of many history books and a holocaust researcher has written about this in his small essay "Russia's genocide handbook" https://snyder.substack.com/p/russias-genocide-handbook

I strongly recommend you to read it and linked material if your intention is to make informed arguments about this topic.

Rhetoric in Russian TV mirrors this and has become increasingly aggressive towards Ukrainians to the level of insanity.

There are reasons why I think the use of nuclear weapons is not very likely (but still probable) but Ukrainian and Russian relations are not one of them.
A story about a new IDE is not political. A story about the stand of the US government in the Ukranian war is political. There is some grey area too, but let's not pretend like it is not clear what "political stories" means in this context.
I work in finance (HFT) and some shops have been using liquid cooled, heavily overclocked gear for quite some time now. Typically with all cores locked to avoid c/p state transitions.

Even immersion cooling is getting traction and showing up in data centres here and there.
I just want to make sure people can use it for free if they want but I don't want to give the right to sell.
Not nitrogen-cooled, but liquid-cooled overclocked rackmount servers (with consumer gaming CPUs rather than the usual Xeon CPUs) are a thing in HFT.

They’re crazy because they are so unstable that you basically can’t reboot them and expect them to reliably come back up, so you are stuck on that given kernel version and firmware etc (important for eg the custom network cards that often want firmware updates).

You just turn it on, run it for like a year, and then it dies and you trash it and get a new one delivered.
With rising energy costs I recently coalesced onto a pared down homelab.

2U server with 6 4TB drives (ZRaid 2 leaving 16TB of usable space) running on an Asrock Rack WSI 246 mini itx board, a Core i3 9100T (35w, can be configured as a 25w part) and 32GB of ECC DDR 4.

It idles around 20w and going full pelt with all disks running at around 40-50w.

This is running UrBackup for the computers in the house to backup to, SeaFile for the phones, a Minecraft server for the kids, Plex, Wireguard (for remote access) and InfluxDB for collecting metrics.

Whilst playing with ex enterprise kit would be fun, the noise, and the power consumption, just isn't worth it to me.
I won't think anything of it because I will continue to use mother like 99% of the world's population.

worries about ADE is clearly widespread in scientific community, and the inversion of infection rates, with vaccinated people catching it more than non-vax, has occured everywhere with the most recent variants.

Of course, any scientist name i'll give as a reference will be immediately categorized as "anti-vax" or "fringe and non representative"... Which curiously is still a grave thing, eventhough a lot of the consensus around covid vaccines has been proved incorrect times and times again (with the only remaining truth being that it does protect people at risk from lethal outcome, which is clearly the bare minimum and not the original expected outcome).
You just used the term "bl..k". This word is forbidden. Use the allowed word "coloured" next time.

The langage police
I feel you. This is my biggest critique of the so-called "woke" language. Perhaps their intentions are good, but I fail to see how hiding behind inclusive language does anything to change the reality of the lives of people they claim to be helping in the first place.

Calling a "landlord" a proprietor (example from the article) does nothing to change the actual dynamic between landlord and tenant. You have only changed the symbols you use without affecting any meaningful change in the world. Maybe a devil's advocate would say, "Symbols evoke feelings evoke action and thus we are affecting people's actions". That's the strongest counter-argument I can think of, and it's not very convincing either. Not sure how a landlord would suddenly change how they act because they are now proprietors.
By default, Mercurial doesn't allow editing of public history pushed to or pulled from a remote repository. There are no such restrictions for local revisions, which are considered draft. And if you configure the remote as a draft repository, you can keep some remote revisions as draft before publishing them.

The history editing capability of Mercurial is arguably more advanced than git, especially in a collaborative setting, because of Changeset Evolution [1], and the Evolve extention [2]. The former keeps track of metahistory of commits. The former keeps track of the metahistory of commits, and synchronises it between repositories. The latter provides a set of expressive command line tool to edit history. With them, collaborative history editing and stacked PR is a pleasant experience.

Many (most?) large airlines take cargo directly like this. It's not so much "check your bag and don't board" as it is "consign this cargo shipment" which happens to be taken on the same aircraft as passengers and their luggage. Unlike checked luggage you need to declare the contents of the packages etc., and presumably there is security screening.
"If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

It's sad this is true for the world as well. Almost all news is off-topic for your life.

A good question to ask: does this have any impact on my life? If you are unsure or the answer is no: skip that news.
The existence of these kinds of things makes me both happy and sad.

Happy - human technology is capable of these things.

Sad - only the hyper-wealthy can afford it.

Hopefully in 20 years treatments like these will be accessible to 'commoners'. So much progress has been made in the last 50 years that I wonder what the next 50 hold.

That wasn't my experience in the 6 years I lived there. Even in the most advanced cities, the misery and squalor and decaying infrastructure was brutal. It's the only first world country I've lived in where I genuinely feared for my safety at times (especially in Chicago and Philadelphia).

Americans are always commenting about how unusually clean Canada is, but Canada is actually quite ordinary; that's how first world countries normally look.
Political debate on HN has become unavoidable because tech itself has been politicized.

Of course on some level it always was, "everything is political" etc, but a decade ago most participants saw tech as broadly neutral. What was the political valence of Etherpad or Foursquare?

Today, engineers are asked to implement things like the "inclusivity warnings" that just shipped in Google Docs. The scope of "content moderation" has expanded dramatically. Founders are often explicitly partisan in one direction or another.

And the new engagement goes in both directions. The five most valuable companies on earth are all West Coast tech cos now. Political actors of all types are watching and trying to harness or control tech to a much greater extent than last decade.
I am a little disappointed to see this comment so far down. Not sure how anyone can dismiss all those concerns as "only" parasitics.
That's fair.

In the end though, I got fed up with my consumer gear (Orbi mesh system) never being very reliable, so had the house wired for Cat 6 and shoved a UDM Pro, USW-Pro-48-Poe and 3 U6 Pro access points in and it's been far more stable and problem free than the Orbi, to the point where the kids have stopped telling me "Dad, the wifi sucks!" and needing to reboot the whole thing, which I had to do at least once a month previously.
We can can unsaturated fat from olive oil and omega3 from walnuts/flax- or chiaseeds.

Report reveals Big Tech’s last minute lobbying to weaken EU rules
There is a school of thought, primarily from critical theorists and their derivatives, that proposes constant agitation, there is no neutral. E.g. Kendi's anti-racist. As this school of thought has taken root in schools and media, political discussion has expanded to encompass more and more of life. It is the intended result. Fair to say they have been wildly successful.
Depp was found by a UK court to have assaulted Heard, on a dozen occasions and put her in “fear for her life” three times [1]. So for me it seems clear that they are both abusive and not worthy of anyone's time.

But my point was that the Depp/Heard issue has very much crossed the line into being completely irrational and morphed into a generalised anti-women sentiment. And it's very much radicalising the younger men in particular on Reddit in ways you don't see on other social media platforms.

It's doubtful.

The asymmetry between theory and scale has been shrinking on most fronts when it comes to the government. The government certainly has brilliant scientists on its payroll and in the past has been able to shove resources at problems that no other entity has, but these are no longer the days of the Manhattan Project and this isn't the atom bomb. You can't throw money at this problem beyond buying computing power (which the private sector now holds more of than the government does), and it requires incremental advancements in dozens of fields internationally over the course of years, along with huge collaboratively captioned datasets that simply can't be produced by the government without tipping their hand.

I see some people repeat that but it makes no much sense. We're talking about children 1-6 y.o., mostly too young for C19 vaccination. I know different countries have differing positions on this but I haven't heard anyone recommending vaccination to 1-year-olds. Even WHO recommends waiting until they are 5.
I am still salty that it took 20 years for .NET to achieve a similar native experience, and lets see if they don't bork it, like the previous features.

Why not go entirely surveillance system. And record all use of roads. Mandatory 24/7 tracking with penalty payments on any public road. Then track which roads and sections of roads person travelled during each day using which method. And divide the bill between all of them.

Use routes that other people use and get it cheaper, have the private low use roads cost more. As poor people are more likely to live in denser areas it would be cheaper for them.
It also helps to already be independently wealthy.
That seems like an odd example. The "specific intention" of the word "slave" in computing is unquestionably to draw an analogy to slavery, so if somebody objects to the word on the grounds that it references an actual atrocity, they're factually correct.

I think what you're trying to say is that people don't mean to be offensive when they reference slavery this way. And you're right about that. Similarly, if I ask someone how their mom is right after she died, I'm probably not trying to be hurtful. But not intending an outcome doesn't actually prevent you from getting that outcome. If somebody tells you their mom is dead, and you didn't mean to be hurtful, you won't keep asking after her, because now you're aware of the effect it has.

There's only one earth so far, so that wouldn't make a lot of sense.
And no mention how much do they slow down or redirect exhaling of viral particles (esp when eg coughing), thus enabling those air filtration systems to do their work (eg. in an airplane).

When you can't tell if you are infectious or not, by wearing a mask, you are reducing a risk to them, and signalling that you care even if you are confident you are not sick (eg. you've had it a month ago).

I am not sure why is such signalling considered useless: it makes everybody around you more relaxed.
You could forward all your constructive points to the author and ask for a correction. This guide will be read by many front-end developers and designers.
It does have very flexible metaprogramming capability and the syntax of the language can be extended in the language itself, very much like Lisp, and like Lisp it has a high skill ceiling and a huge possibility space to explore.

It's the ways in which it is not like Lisp, the features that Lisp hackers discovered decades ago were nests of bugs and confusion that... arghhh.

My overall impression of Tcl, however, is quite positive -- and Tcl/Tk is a JATO bottle for rapid GUI development that no Lisp implementation has yet been able to match -- not without embedding or incorporating Tcl itself (e.g., PS/Tk: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/PS%2FTk).
> Depending on how finely you split the other causes, anything could be the "leading cause of death".

In my country there are usually zero gun deaths among children (0-17) (usually here means that they do exist, but are so rare that I think the last one was in 2009)

No matter how you fine tune your stats, gun deaths will never be a leading cause for them, while In 2017, nine children and teens were killed with guns each day in America — one every 2 hours and 34 minutes ...
So you are basically saying that 99% of the time it will work fine. Got it.

But seriously, they were comparing to the server they got, not the one you have or can provide.

It’s entirely reasonable for the IT team to provide a VPS that doesn’t have nearly the amount of power for a application that’s barely used. Doesn’t mean it’s easy to explain to management.
It doesn't seem to be very good at ears.

Which is objectively true. What is your point?
It seems to me like mostly wishful thinking, or at least I have never seen these two points actually written in a license, let alone implemented in practice:

- the seller guarantees the software will work as documented, won’t be infected with malware, won’t be riddled with security holes, won’t contain plagiarized code

- the seller provides support and maintenance via e-mail, with a response-time service-level agreement

Usually there is a clause that is the exact opposite of the first (i.e. no obligation that the software actually works for what it should), and the second in practice means "if you e-mail us, we will open a ticket with no deadline whatsoever, we will solve the issue or completely fail to in whatever time we see fit".

Admittedly, I have not a lot of experience with commercial programs that offer a service of assistance, and generally speaking they do work just fine (and contain no bugs/malware/etc.) but the few times I found something not working as expected (actually as it should) it was a nightmare to have the issue fixed in a timely manner (or at all).
> “gosh people eat poorly” doesn’t seem like a good explanation.

Maybe they drink poorly? One guy shown in Super Size Me drank 8 litres of soda a day IIRC. The body has no use for fructose, it can only be converted in the liver to fat. You can even get a fatty liver from it, like with too much alcohol. Soda is usually sweetend with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) no?
I've only ever heard it from a few white people and NPR.

> "Mild mycoarditis" is a complete propaganda lie up there with war is peace.

I'm not sure you're adequately informed or even being honest at all. Myocarditis refers to inflammation of the heart muscle. Amusingly enough, it can also occur with the common cold and influenza.

In the context of post-vaccine myocarditis, in the very rare cases where myocarditis is observed (IIRC between 0.2 and 5 cases per 100 000 vaccinated individuals), typically they are very mild cases where symptoms last a short amount of time without requiring any medical therapy at all.

> Berlin emergency services show a 30% increase for heart attack and stroke codes in 2021. No explanation. Many other such signs from around the world.

Do you have any way to substantiate your baseless claim, or even that there is any link at all to the topic?

Also, COVID infections are already known to cause heart attack and stroke. Why did you ruled COVID out but somehow tried to imply vaccines were a factor?

https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2022/01/covi...

I find it strange that a) you try to pass off as something you personally describe as having "no explanation" as a consequence of taking a vaccine, b) you try to ignore the fact that it's no mystery that COVID is indeed tied to those health issues.
Can you please use "living organism" instead of "person". As an antispecist I find this term offensive.
Turbo Pascal has been inspiring itself with C++ since Turbo Pascal 6.0.

Where Turbo Pascal 5.5. was basically the adoption of Object Pascal extensions from Apple.

So when Borland rebooted it into Delphi it already had 4 Turbo Pascal releases (5.5, 6.0, 7.0, 1.5 Windows) having such inspiration.

Ironically, while everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel how to interop with C++, Delphi and C++ Builder have been doing it for decades, with .NET and Objective-C++ being followers on that front.

Best of all, is that it allows for C++ like programming, with security belt on by default, but as usual the industry is full of left turns.
Yes you can still rent them in San Francisco and Oakland, but less than there were a few years ago.

Electric scooters are limited to 15mph, you can get a speeding ticket for exceeding 15mph even going downhill. And they aren't really safe to ride faster, they can't stop quickly. You need a drivers license. You are required to ride in the street or bike lane, not on the sidewalks or paths shared with pedestrians. Technically you can't make left turns in the road either, you need to ride straight across in the bike lane or road then stop and walk through crosswalk. Also not allowed to ride in a crosswalk at all, but many of these rules are not strictly enforced.

Compared to ebikes where the motor can provide power up to 28mph with pedal assist, up to 20mph with throttle only. No drivers license needed. Ebikes can legally use many multi use paths shared with pedestrians. No problems making left turns in traffic. No need to walk in crosswalks because you can ride on the road/bike lane. It isn't surprising they aren't as popular.

Exactly, that's the big problem with so many of these ideas - they ignore common sense, making them look like tone-deaf measures created in bad faith. Which they probably are.
For electronic music performances it's common to bring your own portable desktop mixer(s). Then you pull the stereo output from that into the PA mixer. PA guy does very little during the performance.

If you don't have a lot of gear (which is increasingly the case because of more integrated music tools) you only need a small mixer for this purpose. If you have a lot of gear you may want small sub-mixers.
I worked with them almost 20 years ago. Back then they had two products, SIDstation and Machinedrum. Pretty much all of they guys came from the local technical University and we were sitting in an office right next to the campus entrance. I'm not sure where the funding came from, probably some seed funding from the school.

I agree that it's not possible to steer clear of politics. But there is more than one way to discuss politics and political aspects related to hacking and entrepreneurship (such as markets, oligopolies, net neutrality, copyrights, patents, encryption, etc)

One way is to focus on difficult questions, on the inevitable trade-offs and on interesting, perhaps less conventional solutions. These debates are supposed to make people think.

The other is to declare all questions settled and focus on rhetorical tactics to suppress the enemy. Stop thinking, start acting, crush the evil enemy, it's about life and death!

In my opinion, this latter form of politics should be kept off HN. Thinking is not a luxury that we can no longer afford once decisions become important to people's lives. It's a necessity at all times and it needs space.
125 GB Rds in AWS...and growing
Good point, I never thought about it that way. The reverse is also true: The length is probably unnecessary, since the "1" is there. I suppose the length makes it harder to produce collisions with inputs of different lengths, but in practice I don't think anyone actually tries to do that.

If I had to take a wild guess, I'd guess that some early design in the family used only the "1", and that the length was added later?
