> Furthermore, if Ukrainians are committing war crimes against the invading Russian army which basically has war crimes as their tactics and strategy, they're mostly morally justified. Hopefully they don't.

Yikes. Good thing you don't speak for anyone but yourself. Justifying war crimes from any side is so far beyond the pale, it's mind-blowing.
It jumped out at me as a nice example of the Edward Tufte style (which I'm a big fan of -- I once published a tech report in that style). People have put together style sheets emulating it for LaTeX [1][2], CSS [3], and R Studio Markdown [4], among others.

> Actually Southern segregational practices are highly unprofitable to all Southerners, but most Southern whites take the view they’d rather be poor than suffer what they consider spiritual defilement. I don’t approve of their attitude any more than deA, but to drag in Communist twaddle merely confuses the issue.

> This is ultimately nitpicking without addressing the substance of the problem, something else that fans of science fiction today will recognize whenever the issue of discrimination rears its head. A penchant for pedantry often undermines any real progress, and carefully side-steps the issue of acknowledging a problem exists or what to do about it.

Disagree with the characterization of this important observation as “pedantry”. Another HN thread recently recalled LBJ’s similar observation. If you don’t know why something is the case, it’s harder to address.
> If a person is not a bot, you'd expect that when they are making an nth account they are attempting to apply another use case for the service in their life

No. In my experience, it's because they lost access to the older account for whatever reason. Accounts are cheap and ephemeral and forgot password flows are horrible.
The area of The Law surrounding how law enforcement agencies may use drones is an important area of Law that is doubtful getting the correct and knowledgeable and non-authoritarian lens applied it critically requires at this point in history.

I enjoy browsing Product Hunt but it does seem like quick mindless side projects in very hyped-up spaces get more attention than people trying to make things that are seriously new and exciting. It’s also full of people taking a solution-first approach for problems that don’t exist. Still enjoyable but it’s worth being mindful that what you see getting upvoted on there often isn’t reflective of what really has potential.

> I don't even want to try new shows because of their reputation for cancelling things unceremoniously

Ah, so I’m not alone in this! Nowadays, I typically only consider shows that have at least a few seasons, I will never ever try one with just one season. The chances of them killing it off are just too high, and that would ruin it completely for me.

I like to binge watch, I can’t enjoy that when they keep killing off shows. It feels like a restaurant with only starters.
It borders on reckless than Tesla isn't using LiDAR or a similar sensor.

Relying on images only requires you to perfectly identify every object in the scene in order to infer its bounding box. And that's an issue like we see here where you don't expect to see private jets near a Tesla and so it may not be modelled.

With LiDAR, Radar etc. at least they know "something" is there even if they don't know what is.
WebAuthn is designed to be able to be used as a strong single factor. You do not need a password. It cannot be MITMed or phished or leaked by server compromise. See an example here: https://webauthn.io/

> It's still a "real benefit" to passwords if they can't be stolen.

SRP does not mean passwords can’t be stolen. It just means that the backend of a particular website is no longer capable of stealing the password, as long as the user is careful to only use their browser’s (currently nonexistent) SRP dialog box.

The user’s computer can still have a keylogger on it.

The user can still be phished.

> Surely you want to protect that password better, on top of the second factor?

No, I want passwords to just go away. They add extremely little security on average. Power users like us might use strong, unique passwords, but almost no one does that in the real world. Protecting the password “better” doesn’t matter when the user also uses that same, weak password on a dozen other websites already.

SRP does not solve the actual problems people are facing, which is surely why browsers don’t support it. It’s a cool idea (honestly!), but it’s a solution in search of a problem now that we have WebAuthn.

If SRP is so beneficial even today, why don’t browsers implement it? They implement so much other stuff. You’re implying quite a conspiracy, which doesn’t make sense when it “compromises” the security of passwords going to Google and Apple just as much as it does everyone else. The “real benefit” appears to be lacking.
because they are hoping to run into interesting people to hire. why would they share knowledge otherwise? if they are interested in doing that, why not share all the details of their tech stack and what they are doing exactly in the market? it's very hard to hire, especially with FAANGs who compete with them for talent.

If the objection were to parenthood, which is to say if nurtureboard or parentboard were similarly offensive, then I agree this would have been a stupid stupid choice.

The problem is that you had a motherboard and daughter boards, those were the accepted terms, and never fatherboard or son boards, never parentboard or child boards. Why were they gendered female in the first place?

Because they had “female connections,” which is to say their use is in plugging pins into their sockets.

Obviously that is a sexual analogy that did not age particularly well, this idea that a motherboard is the motherboard because you shove stuff into it. So people started replacing with mainboard because it makes more sense...

Think I read somewhere that of one of their content production differentiators is their direct-to-consumer approach. Classically lots of content was produced for the "average" consumer. Netflix can use their subscriber data to create low-cost content for extremely niche consumers, who might love that extremely relevant production (think super edgy, super graphic, super cartoon, etc - the type of extremes not covered by the average).

Not sure how much this holds true anymore, as now many big players have direct-to-customer streaming, but just sharing since it was a neat thought when I first read it
> Urbit is an attempt to fix all of the major issues of networked computing in one single system.
>
> Security, spam, maintenance, up-time, software complexity, identity, network governance, etc.

And yet, from an article from just a year ago [1]: "Nothing in Urbit is encrypted at rest. No, seriously, all the chat logs, events, everything… is dumped into a journal on disk7 in cleartext form. In other words, when hosting urbit at any 3rd party, you better be the only one with access to the underlying OS (and have it fully encrypted), lest you want your entire history worth of data readable by the company running the instance for you. Or anyone with access to the system."

And: " if you want to stay up to date, you need to configure OTA. So you will be receiving updates to your Urbit instance from one of your neighbors. Sounds great, since this is 2021, and surely the updates are signed. Well, no. They are not."

For the UPS, I always err on the side of ones that are PFC-compatible, pure sine wave, line interactive. Partly because some of the gear I rack has PFC PSUs, but also because I don't want to be flirting with edge cases in other gear. I've owned 3 such rackmount UPSes, but it doesn't seem to be the default.
It has worked on every OS that has chrome that I have used and takes like 30 seconds to install. It is easier to click a chrome extension to stay awake than go to a webpage in my opinion.

You do you though
Best way to think about Snap is it's a replacement for normal conversation. Normal conversations are ephemeral. Snap follows that. You take a picture, you show your friends, and that's it. You say something, and that's it. You don't store it somewhere for later. That's it.

And once you realize Snap allows you to carry on with that ephemeral experience even when you aren't near, you realize why it does so well.

People thought the Simpsons was vulgar, they thought Elvis dancing was vulgar, they thought girls dancing to jazz in the flapper era was vulgar, thought that women exposing any skin beyond their hands and face was vulgar.... you get the picture.

Y'all are a bunch of prudes and artists and the leading edge of culture are using that shock people experience in their art and have been for a long damn time. There's this burned in mythos that sex is bad which was brought in by Christianity and despite the goalposts of what is vulgar and what is acceptable there continues to be the undercurrent of "this is awful because it's too explicitly sexual" even though what was too much has shifted from exposed ankles to whatever people are offended by today. Hopefully we're close to running out of things to be offended by and people will just be comfortable with people expressing their sexuality as normal... but I doubt it.

An attack on business is an attack on speech, and shockingly the Republican Party has shown itself to be more than happy to assault both.

The Democratic Party is not perfect and has a long history of this as well, but this instance feels… feral.

I encourage others to vote Democrat for the time being, at least they manage to keep populist leaders from commandeering the party.

This is just baffling to me. What are you even saying.

Are you under the impression that being more social makes you less introverted? The way lifting weights makes your body stronger?

It doesn't. It just makes you appear that way to ignorant people who still think being an introvert means you aren't very social.

Being social is a skill you can practice.

Being an introvert has nothing to do with that skill.

> running a homelab is a nonsensical

I think a lot of people build a homelab to learn about technologies and get realworld experience deploying them. That was what drove mine for a couple of years. Once you’ve mastered servers and networking and so on, then it just becomes a fun hobby, I agree there. But someone who wants to get into networking and the like (and who lacks experience) is definitely going to need to practice with real or simulated networks to get good at it.
This is what I did. My wife had an IKEA Besta media center cabinet and it's already mounted beneath our television. I just re-purposed it and put in a homemade NAS, router, switch, and some fanless mini-PCs as my server cluster. The downside is no ventilation, but I got out the jigsaw and cut holes in the cabinet and stuck USB fans with magnetic dust filters in them. Has worked fine for two years now. Upside is everything is small and quiet and I didn't need additional furniture to put servers in. You have to get Windows off the mini-PCs, but since Arch started bundling cloud-init with their installer media, I just put my configuration scripts on a USB stick with the cidata label on the disk, plug that in with the installer, hit the power button, and system installation up to configuring ssh so I can get in from my laptop happens unattended without me needing to hook up to a keyboard and monitor.
Yes, the screeching radical left is completely innocent in derailing the political debate to an extent incomprehensible to anyone with a braincell left. Not that the right wing gonzos are not to blame for it too, but to offload all of the guilt onto a single side of the horseshoe is very much just as undifferentiated as you are calling your political enemy.

I don't think Latinx is a good example. The GP mentions there's no functional cost to `main`, and this is true. Latinx has a functional cost in that the Spanish language literally does not support the phonetics of Latinx.

That phrase is going to die soon and it never picked up in Latin America. Most likely the queer community in Latin America will come up with more effective slang. It took the US queer community decades, a century? To reclaim and come up with effective phrases -- I think the main issue here is lack of patience and a somewhat condescending attitude from American liberals that we, the actual hispanic diaspora, need our hands held.

There is also what I've argued is a hierarchy of needs issue at play with LatinX. The problems facing the queer community in Latin America are more severe than those facing the US community, because it is a younger community in a more conservative atmosphere. Therefore, the effort is better spent advocating for table stakes, like marriage equality in some countries and reduced violence towards queer people -- there is no time to be wasted, right now, on the exact, precise terminology to use. And LatinX is not a way to win hearts and minds in this process.

Edit: this is NOT support for Google's product, which clearly broken and not useful. This is an explanation of why LatinX specifically is not a good counter-example to `main` versus `master`. I hope this pre-empts someone coming in and calling me all 'woke' or whatever is the cool phrase for dismissing people these days.
Yep, that's gross. Having come from a position where people where forced to actually add typing like this to make it through code review, I feel the pain.
Every now and then this comes up. There was a thread from a french nuclear scientist explaining why this isn’t what you think it is.

"always" is not the weird one -- that's just the same as everyone else. "Never" is weird, immediately spending 1/16th of the opcode space (256 million instructions) on NO-OPs.

PC being a general-purpose register was historically not uncommon. PDP-11 and VAX both did it and they were kinda popular at one time.

Load/store multiple was also fairly common with, for example, both 68000 and VAX having it. IBM 360 also, though using a register range rather than a bitmap -- a less general solution, but good enough, and much easier to make go fast.
If only there were a way to get a file of the same movie from a different site and then make a copy of it to save to your personal archive of movie files, ensuring you never need to worry about paying for multiple streaming services that will probably remove titles you like and never carry others in the first place...
I think it is still related and relevant, though I did forget to address it, sorry.

Expanding out further from where I left off:

The "compact" of that cultural Maintenance Agreement further relies on network effects that make it powerful (and cheap as free as in beer as an asset): it isn't assumed that everyone can fix/build every bit of open source, it relies on community effects. It relies on a lot of individuals scratching their own itches becoming a collective force greater than the sum of its parts.

Absolutely, Accounting for that is even harder. It's not a "quid pro quo" that you can directly bill to a specific product. That's even harder for companies to deal with. But plenty of companies have much more complex classic liabilities than that: Marketing efforts, R&D, etc. Again, the "wastefulness" in budgeting for "Open Source Maintenance" both specific and general is a super cheap deal compared to classic R&D budgeting. It's a huge savings compared to classic third party software vendors on a combined "asset portfolio" basic. Companies can budget for it. They can and likely should assume some of that "wastage" on "maintenance costs" as natural overhead of building software. (That's what the cultural narrative of Open Source encourages: that everyone should chip in and assume at least some baseline of community effort, from every user [personal, corporate, whatever].)

Bringing things back even more full circle: my company tries to have somewhat regular Community Service Days to give back to the communities the company exists in (and professionally serves day to day). It budgets labor hours towards those efforts (and also promotional budgets for things like t-shirts to pat itself on the back), people sign up to meet those budgets, and things like "helping a homeless shelter" are direct uses of that budgeted time that the company is paying for. My company isn't alone in this practice, and expanding it to charitable "Match" contributions there are a lot of companies paying regular money and/or labor to "general good" charities.

Admittedly, part of those budgets every year come from charitable organization "vendor requests" asking for specific numbers of hours (in many cases) and from Accounting knowing that working with any 501(c)3 makes those hours spent a write-off liability come tax time. That's again where the "cultural" part of Open Source "obligations" meets the practical side that there aren't enough 501(c)3 charitable organization "vendors" to "invoice" companies and also help make the time/labor spent on such "invoices" to be even cheaper than usual labor costs thanks to tax write-offs.
I'm not sure why you are focusing on sex itself. It is not mentioned at all in the text of HB 1557.

There is a difference between gender identity, sexual orientation, and actual sex acts. You seem to be referring to sex acts. I have yet to see an example of Florida school content for K-3 that actually discusses sex acts, much less in a way that could ever be interpreted as grooming.

Does this bill prohibit using a book or story in a second grade class if it features a child with two fathers? It's unclear. If it does, wouldn't it also prohibit stories with a mother & father? They would equally broach the subject of sexual & gender identity.
Jack Dorsey’s new title: Block Head
I don’t think this really affects my point that the fragmentation situation is infinitely better with streaming music than it is with video.

Here’s - perhaps - a better explanation as to why.

The majority of major music labels - Sony/BMG, Columbia, EMI, etc - have the majority of their music available on the majority of the available streaming services.

This situation is unfortunately worsening on video streaming platforms as every major studio and their brother wants to completely commit to their own service.

It’s even worse as the result of this weird licensing moving around is series and films being removed from services you’d previously subscribed too mainly for those particular shows or films.

The only result of this is value loss and confusion presented to the consumer - as the recent CNN+ disaster shows, along with Netflix’s flailing subscriber count.

The music streaming world is exponentially better. Like - subscribing to a music streaming service is actually worthwhile. Video streaming services decrease in value with every new one that is introduced.
Amazing that you were a protester that faced abuse yet you still use the same exact dismissive rhetoric the government uses to excuse every abuse and crackdown against protests. The G20 protests weren't protest, they were just riots from wannabe terrorists. See how easy it is to just do what you did?

And yeah sure the charter is just a piece of paper, but again I'm not sure what's your point. You are basically arguing that we might as well not even try. Remember that that piece of paper will be used against you and I'm not sure how far that "it's just a piece of paper!" Argument will go with a judge. The Charter is extremely weak, but this is still an unprecedented reaction in the post war western world. Over a bunch of truckers and 0 violence.

Also, you are repeating literal fake news. The guy with the nazi flag lasted for a few minutes before getting kicked out by the rest of the protesters. Again, if you participated in the g20 protests and cannot see how easy it is to plant agitators or use one off events to justify discrediting a whole protest...

My point here is that no matter what's your stance on the vaccine (and I'm extremely pro vaccine, I probably went in person with more than a dozen of my friends and co-workers to get them vaccinated if they were afraid/hesitant), the rhetoric around the trucker rally is extremely dangerous. It is setting a precedent, and next time we get a first nation protest/blockade, or a BLM protest (both of which I usually support) under a more conservative government, let's hope that the charter won't be seen as just a piece of paper again.
Is it? Stamping and shipping discs costs very little, the license is the major cost in most cases.
