If you want to let the ACLU "speak for themselves" here they are arguing against vaccine mandates while Trump was President: https://www.aclu.org/news/privacy-technology/coronavirus-imm...

Under Biden, they switched course: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/02/opinion/covid-vaccine-man...

And you're flat-out lying about the mask mandates, they're suing schools who want to make them *optional*: https://twitter.com/acluva/status/1494327778203901952

You can stuff any amount of authoritarian "bullshit" as you put it under LGBTQA+MAP territory, using "equity" as a vanguardist spearpoint, which is what the ACLU is doing. Can you honestly say the ACLU that once defended KKK members is the same organization today? One of its former directors, Ira Glasser, thinks it's not the same, and I think most people have enough common sense to agree.
Just for clarification: the variation selector for selecting text presentation only applies to emoji that have a text presentation, which is a subset of all emoji: https://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/emoji/emoji-variation-seq...

For example, there is no text style "pizza" emoji.

This particular project is an attempt to provide a black and white emoji rendering for all emoji, which is distinct from the Unicode approach of allowing specific text / emoji stylizations for certain emoji.

I don't know rust, so pardon my lack of knowledge. But given a quick look, can't "traits" be seen just like "typeclasses" in haskell?

I program in C++ as a hobby and typescript for my day job. I would say if anything it's just as hard trying to figure out why a JS object is undefined as it is finding out why you get a segfault in C++.

I will add it's really easy to have a custom memory allocator that allocates extra bytes at the beginning and end of every allocation to detect heap corruption in C++. It's also super easy to add memory leak detectors. I've written both of those utilities in a couple hundred lines of C++ I honestly can't remember the last time I had a segfault that wasn't immediately obvious. Nowadays my biggest problems are debugging OpenGL global state errors.

Excuse me, why are you conflating gay people and pedophiles?
This is really interesting, thank you for sharing! I wonder if it would have been more successful if it had just two rows instead. The duplicate rows add more power, but at the cost of adding ambiguity when sightreading, as you have to impromptu figure out what fingering you want to use. And it also makes it more expensive and intimidating looking. I feel like two rows would provide the core benefits while being more accessible. But I could be totally off, as I've never touched this thing.
It seems more like faulty reasoning than an actual agenda.

They argue that the lack of indicators of gout, and analysis of bones of people who might have been kings based on the nature of their burials, doesn't fit with the notion of someone who over-indulges in red meat.

> Cambridge University bioarchaeologist Sam Leggett drew her conclusions after analysing chemical signatures of diets preserved in the bones of 2,023 people buried in England from the 5th to 11th Centuries.

> She then cross-referenced these with evidence for social status such as grave goods, body position and grave orientation and found no correlation between social status and high protein diets.

Later on in the article, it examines the historical evidence that royalty ate lots of meat- meal plannings and so forth, which they believe would have led to different chemical analyses had that been a daily regimen.

I'm skeptical of the idea that they can confidently state they found a representative sample of kings, or that "not over indulging every single day" constitutes a vegetarian diet (it most certainly does not). All it really shows is that they had more moderate diets than we see in movies. What a surprise!

When you consider that it’s 40 year olds disavowing their inclusion as millennials, it becomes pretty clear that they really are an entire generation apart. People who “should have been in generation X” do not want to be lumped in with the social media addicts that comprise younger adults today.

SML doesn't have subtyping or variance AFAIK so that can't really explain the issue. The way I like to look at it is to translate to System F. The standard translation would give:

let m : ∀α. ref (α → α) = Λα. ref [α → α] (λx. x)
in
(m [bool]) := not;
print ((!(m [int])) 23)
end

This actually has different behavior because the ref allocation is under a big lambda (Λ). Each time it is applied it would generate a new ref cell. So it would generate a `ref (bool → bool)` starting with `λx. x` and assign `not` to it. Then generate a separate `ref (int → int)` (again starting with `λx. x`) and dereference and apply it. Thus this would print `23`.

(The naive model of) SML runs into problems because it erases the big lambdas and so evaluates `Λα. ref [α → α] (λx. x)` to a single ref cell of type `∀α. ref (α → α)`

Sidenote: Variance does have some relation here, I couldn't think of a way to trigger bad behavior without a type that uses the type variable invariantly.

My point was that major oil companies already operate with low profits relative the the S&P 500, and that even an extreme reduction to 0% profit would not significantly reduce prices at the pump. An 8% profit does not explain gas prices doubling since 2020. Also the "all time" high profits are something like 0.05% above 2018, that language seems like headline clickbait. It might be technically true, but it's rather misleading.
It's a service that charges the same for mailing a letter from rural Alaska to New York as it charges from New Jersey to New York, to facilitate communication and commerce.

No omginternets, you are wrong here. Heightism and racism really is the same thing. If someone who is 160 cm doesn't get the manager job because however is recruiting don't believe his subordinates would respect him because of his lack of stature, then that is just as bad as a black person would't get the manager job because perhaps his subordinates don't respect black people. The point is how limiting the discrimination is, not whatever the historical background was.

In many countries, some jobs are de facto unavailable to short men. Next time you visit a schoolyard. See who the bullied kids are. They might have something in common. It might not be their skin color. It's not talked about a lot because it is taboo. It may be your sense of proportion (haha) that is incorrect.
That's pretty clearly not what you meant above.
Easy. Having people change their ways on your demand is called power. And since our brave new economic order eliminated the constructive ways of gaining power, more and more people see this kind of behavior as the only outlet for their ambition to be more than a nameless cog in the machine.

That was his mistake. He fed the troll. Thing is, trolls like this don't care about the actual issue, they just use it to exert power over other people. If you engage in a conversation with them, you basically volunteer to become a target. If you resist the urge and completely ignore their outburst, they will quickly get bored. For a couple of days to a week the front page of your issue tracker will have one issue where one person is effectively shouting to himself. In a few weeks it will go to the bottom of the list and nobody will care. And as for the Twitter shitstorm, it could be rewarding for trolls to bash someone's response and stick all kinds of labels to them, but it doesn't work if there is no response at all.

I think the tricky thing here is that what used to be called a microcomputer (or apparently a home computer, though that's new to me) is kind of making a comeback (with things like the Pi 400 and some various efforts at building new all-but-the-screen-in-one portable-ish computers in the image of the c64 or spectrum or appleII) and they really ought to be distinguished from what we now call a PC (or laptop, for that matter).

But it would be confusing to repurpose minicomputer for it, given that microcomputer is a term still used to some extent, and is more present in most people's memory.

Wouldn’t anything of variable size require a heap allocation?
They're measuring efficiency in miles per joule, but really the output of a race car is entertainment. You want the most entertainment per joule.

If you make the cars smaller (call the scale s), they have a smaller frontal area by s^2. They can also go slower and look the same on camera, again by a factor of s. Since energy consumption scales as speed^3 * frontal area, you get a remarkable

power ∝ s^5

So if you make half-sized cars you can use 1/32 of the energy. And you can have an identical visual spectacle as long as you scale the camera positions, reduce the tire grip by s^2, and find some 3' tall drivers.

I live by a river. There is such a thriving bird population these days thanks to improving regulations on dumping in the river, I am pretty sure cats are prey.

There is a massive red tailed hawk population. And a moderate Bald Eagle population. Hell, we have started getting Pelicans the last few years, and I simply would not put it past them to swallow a moderate sized mammal.

It is anecdotal, but it seems to me as waterways become less polluted, you are starting to see these sorts of animals return to even dense urban areas like Chicago.

If I've gathered anything from "innovation" in F1/FE, it's because of heavy-handed regulations forcing the teams to innovate. Just enrol bankrupting fines/disqualification for battery fires/injuries/death (if they don't already) and we'll see innovation there that can trickle into mainstream.

In strict languages, you can delay computation by wrapping it in a zero-argument lambda -- i.e., a "thunk." For efficiency, you want to memoize thunks (that's what Haskell does[1]) so that they only ever evaluate once. Scheme has the "delay" operator to create memoized thunks, which you can later "force". It is true that these are not first class in the sense that you need to manually force the computation, but if it were automatic, how would you (efficiently) pass un-evaluated values around?

[1] Incidentally, this is why Haskell's garbage collector needs to be able to deal with mutation. A thunk might graduate to an older generation, and once it is finally evaluated it can end up having pointers to the nursery or other younger generations.
I used to recruit fresh graduates for a fairy high-end consultancy.

What mattered:

- personal projects. Those can be anything from a game to a database engine, in any language too. They show personal investment in the field, not just money-driven career choice.

- enthusiasm for (new) tech. A "C expert" that will only do C (and often very specific stuff in C) is in a very narrower niche than someone who just wants to learn stuff and have fun. There is some justifiable verticality (front end, back end, database, network, surely AI nowadays), but limiting oneself by language, framework,... just means you'll be obsolete in 4 yrs.

- interpersonal skills. Programming is, as any job, at least 30% communication. If colleagues, bosses, clients like you you'll be a much more valuable team member. This does include NOT being a people-pleaser, and NOT hiding failures/issues.

Anyone who had of 3 of these stayed with us. Tech knowledge can always be acquired... actually, always has to be acquired, so doesn't matter that much once you've proven you can indeed imbibe it.
It was not the original purpose of copyright law for the government to control the flow of adverse information, and it hasn't had that effect either. That might be a basis for laws around treason or sedition, but not copyright.

One can disagree with this policy without resorting to a position such as this which is essentially baseless, and which really rises no higher than a conspiracy theory.
Presumably no one who made that decision is fucking stupid and thought they were putting their business at risk. Good lord.

I wasn't affected by this in the slightest and just found out opsgenie exists from the parent comment but even I can understand that this decision would almost certainly be driven by things like "we're already using atlassian for everything else and will benefit from the interop" and "we already trust them with everything else and they haven't let us down or we wouldn't be using them for any of that stuff either."
This is pretty eye opening to me, I would have never thought anyone found C major more difficult to play in than other keys. To me, difficulty is directly proportional to the amount of stuff in the key signature, but that may be because I've never had proper education (~5 years of lessons as a child from a very casual teacher).
That would be difficult to use given requirements like GDPR's user data deletion.

A few people have said they use a Remarkable 2 tablet in this thread. I had seen it mentioned multiple times on HN and ended up getting one a few weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. The writing experience is great, especially for technical sketches which is the main type of writing I do with it. I wish it did a bit more like automatically OCR documents with indexing, but what it ships with is already more than I expected.

I'd definitely recommend it.

What search? You have to declare the information or you don’t get the loan.

It’s no more a “search” than the bank asking to prove your identity when opening an account.
Unrelated to the main thread, but I would content “Natural” scrolling is a different epistemological process. There is/was a lot of user research on this topic. Inverting the scroll direction on a trackpad relative to the display is more in line with how people expect it should move. This configuration was determined to be the better configuration through a rigorous program of experimentation.
Calling the default “inverted” or “reversed” sends the wrong message. The term “natural” is just trying make people feel comfortable with the default configuration. It is trying to convince people of the results of an experiment. Naming a law that is not passed is trying to bias the results of the experiment itself.
