It was a friendly fire incident, your phrasing makes it sound like he was fragged by his own men.
Wow, now that's interesting. You were so close to that cover-up; it's something that's nagged at me for a long time now. Do you suspect there was motivation to murder Tillman because he'd been saying some fairly disillusioned shit just before his death? How did the battalion feel about the subject, was it discussed? Taboo? Obviously I understand if you can't say too much.
Sorry if it was unclear, I was specifically commenting about C# with regards to build, test, deploy cycle because I don't have much experience with Java. It's good to hear that it's not slow or cumbersome.
Defaults matter. Exceptions give me the question whether I want to worry about this piece of code here, or just go on and be reminded that it is actually important at runtime with an unmissable runtime error which has exact character number for the origin of the mistake. Even Java’s checked exceptions can be just added to the method signature.

(Ab)using Result types without good syntax for dealing with the very common case of “handle it higher up” (Rust’s ? macro is ok, not perfect but it is a much better compromise) is coming from a wrong angle imo.
We're still considering FAANG startups?
It's really not, and it's even saying so explicitly in the article.
In case of lead solder it's the problem of you also the (potential) problem of:

- Spouse, Child or anyone sharing your apartment

- Technicians or similar which might enter your apartment

- Anyone living in your apartment after you

- Anyone to which you might sell the desk, used tool and similar

- In case of gross negligence you might also contaminate public transportation or e.g. a desk at a restaurant

- Police/Firefighters (in case they have to enter your apartment)

- ...

also many young people which start soldering as a hobby are not really aware about the health risk of solder, in which case lead free solder is still a better choice.

So no it's not just your problem.

And it doesn't matter if you specifically handle it correctly, most hobby soldering people do not and this is a general decision which is mainly about lead in hobby use cases (there are a bunch exceptions for companies).

Well and it's also about sold devices, because that also matter, children get there hand
on them and there are various (sometimes surprising) ways how lead from soldering can get into the life of people using the product, instead of producing it.
> There were other brokers that managed to do it just fine.

If Robinhood is taking a net inflow of shares, then logically other brokers must have a net outflow. So of course there would be other brokers with shares to buy.

One reason you could go to some other broker and buy GME is because that broker had many other customers looking to offload an overhyped stock. You couldn't buy on Robinhood because their customer base was mostly retail traders looking only to buy.

ML maybe, but solar power definitely not. They show an example use-case as a single-family house in a site of flooding and devestation. An emergency desalinator would definitely need to run off of a small generator or solar.
I was impressed reading that as well, but after looking at the code, I wonder if it’s really 2000? It seems more.

Regardless, the code is clearly well-organized, easy to read and to the point. I like it.

Yeah, for sure XPath is the more powerful of the two, so much so that Scrapy's parsel library parses CSS selectors and transforms then into the equivalent XPath for execution

To the best of my knowledge, CSS selectors care only about the structure of the page, lightly dipping its toes in the content only for attributes and things like :first-char and :first-line
This is cute but modern concurrent garbage collectors like the ones used in VMs and languages such as Go are way more complicated. In fact, the GC can be the most difficult aspect of an entire environment including the compiler.

Right in general you don't want people to hate you. You want to be polite. You don't want enemies. But if they behave that way to begin with it's not like a simple plea will change their behavior much except for a little while perhaps.

Soon they'll be back to their antics playing maybe baseball (just kidding, sounds crazy right but so does playing soccer in the office). They're just not concerned about other people's productivity. The general point is that open-office floor-plan easily leads to distractions like these and can even lead to animosity between co-workers.
"US police is violent, but how terrifying it can be when every car you pull for a routine control may contain a person who may shoot you?"

Arguably any car pulled over in any country has the potential for an occupant to shoot (or otherwise kill) you, even if guns are illegal and uncommon (as are murders). The likelihood just varies. In general, an officer should not be "terrified" of being shot on a routine stop. There are many technologies and procedures designed to minimize risk. Once you are no longer a rookie, the practice is routine. Being shot or shooting someone is fairly rare. I believe the lifetime chance of firing your weapon on duty was 2% or so, which is relatively low. Likewise, I remember non-violent fatalities were larger overall percentage (car accidents, drowning, suicide, illness, etc). Yet most officers are not terrified of covid nor car accidents. Situational context is a huge factor.

"I find it very effective how in US the discourse can be shifted to which tools to kill should be limited more or less, rather than considering if society wouldn't be better off without them."

Sporting purposes include target shooting in addition to hunting (see the Olympics, etc). The needs and ideals in one country are not necessarily the same as in other countries. It certainly does come up about repealing the second amendment and banning guns almost entirely. Some of the counter points are that much of the US is rural, where police response can take hours or even days (remote Alaska), and many of those residents require a firearm for various rural purposes, like protecting livestock from other animals.

On top of all that, it's a fairly large minority that owns guns. Many do not want to be burdened by additional regulations. It's similar to any other issue in a democracy - people vote for their own interests and benefits.
Yes, it doesn't remove the latency completely, but it's the best we've got now. I'm using a Bose soundbar and the Bluetooth connection is way too laggy for movies on pulseaudio, windows, or Mac. Pipewire was great and usable with default settings. In an ironic twist, Linux has the best audio story of all systems right now.
But it's precisely the welfare state that brought my former country to the brink, when a massive influx of refugees put so much strain on public services, that lifelong citizens were having to wait months for critical care and stirring up (understandable) angry, nationalist sentiment. And there are many such examples across Europe at different times.

The other thing the safety net doesn't seem to provide is happiness, much to the chagrin of American democratic socialists. Overtime, unchecked depression results in the crumbling of society as well.
Shame too because football players desperately need something like this. A lot of them fall into substance abuse and homelessness after football simply because they don’t have a job or marketable skills.
It isn't, though, because that would be 60Wh per liter, but the video actually specifies it's 20Wh per liter.

They just stupidly used watt instead of Wh in the article text.
Ask HN: Is GPL enforcement outside the West impossible?
Assume the following hypothetical situation: You discover a blatant GPL infringement in a piece of software. Blatant such that the programmers were so careless and lazy they made nearly no attempts to cover their tracks. However, the offenders are located in a country that is known to be hostile to matters of intellectual property. Is trying to enforce the GPL in such a situation basically impossible?
I know these languages are both members of the ML language, but why would one pick OCaml over F#?

I've toyed a bit with both and F# seems a bit more ergonomic: pipes, computation expressions, a more concise syntax, etc. I do like how fast the OCaml compiler is though.
Um, do genies get universal sentient rights? And if so, is the genie going to continue handing out wishes?
Not really, the question is how the organization is classified. Linux Foundation is a 501(c)(6) so they can sponsor some people but it's only for the purposes of furthering "common business interests" and not for profit.
Except on stunt planes (and maybe fighter jets?) that are designed to fly upside-down a significant portion of the time, the wings are angled relative to the fuselage. Otherwise the whole plane needs to be in a nos-up attitude even for flying at a constant altitude, which would not be fuel-efficient because if the high drag.

The difference between the pitch angle of the plane and that of the wings is indeed fixed in any normal aircraft.
Do you have a reference for your claims, inside EU...?

It sounds reasonable to me personally, but not convincing in reality. There are 27 legislations in the EU.

Edit: Based on a quick web search it seems correct for Germany and Austria.

Hi from the Dependabot team! We're working on a fix for the Typescript @types problem that should be available very soon.
This seems more like a Facebook wall where you approve each post. The design looks good from what I can tell, not sure it you have apps or if this is open source, but in terms of making a company out of this it seems like little value compared to free alternatives that already exist. With email, I can already create white lists. Also, what is to stop a group of accounts from spamming someone with requests?

Mastodon let's you filter people and block them as well, and there are plenty of similar apps that provide actions to create and filter groups of conversations.
> I'm not sure what the competitive edge could be to not wall garden.

I've had several email providers die since the 1980s. Each time it was a major disruption in my life. The last time, I coped by mostly dispensing with email whenever possible. Like most people I have a "good" email address for important things, that I check weekly, and a "garbage" email address I only bother to check when I have a need to.

Hosting my own mail server, not subject to some provider's ideas of filtering, or simply vanishing in the night, would make email more attractive. But the festering mess that SMTP email evolved into isn't just something you can set up in an evening. It's not even a hobby. It looks pretty much like at least a part-time job. Weighing the options, I don't really need email that badly.
I'm an engineer living in the UK who likely _could_ move to the US and take a larger salary, but actively choose not to pursue that option. As I've said many times on this site, it's likely that after paying rent for an apartment in SF, health insurance, and all my living costs, my pay after that would be more than the gross pay of an engineer in most parts of the UK, I still decide not to move for a few reasons.

The first question I ask is what would I do with the extra money. I don't _want_ to retire at 40 to pursue my dreams, I like what I'm doing and the pace that I'm doing it at. If I had the choice, I would choose to be where I am doing what I am doing. Why would I move somewhere else for 10 years to make money only to come back and do what I'm doing right now? [0]. I have friends, family, a life here. I don't want to uproot all of that (I have no kids and have already moved country, I don't want to do it again unless it would improve my quality of life). My partner would likely need to find something to do, as it's unlikely she would find a company willing to sponsor a visa for her line of work. Health care being tied to my place of employment is a total nightmare - I can only imagine what happens if I'm in a car accident and I end up at the wrong hospital, or treated by an anaesthetist that is out of network. It's also not just me, the injustice of it boils my blood, and I don't really want to contribute to that system.

I own a car, but it spends 5 days a week parked outside my door, and is only used for "adventuring". The idea of movin somewhere to live in a large house that I have to drive for groceries, drive to the doctors, drive to the bar after work etc, is not appealing to me.

The annual leave situation is commonly far superior in Europe - my current job has 40 days PTO per year, and I take them all. My previous job, the American employees had unlimited PTO, and I don't think my boss ever took anything longer than a long weekend in the 3 years I worked there. It also seemed many of them were banking on a "European trip of a lifetime" with their families, which I can do on the train from where I live (also I live in one of those bucket list countries to boot).

> It seems like non-Americans in this thread are unhappy that their ceilings are lower.

Grass is always greener. The Americans in this thread are complaining that it's so much more expensive to live in the US and are unhappy that it costs so much. Of course it seems the "ideal" situation is work for an American company, on an American salary and live in the UK, but having worked with Americans for the last decade, that has it's tradeoffs too - my workday starts at 10am and ends at 7pm (whereas my partner works 9-5). The "culture" of American work spills across, etc.

This looks pretty cool! It feels like a new take on the idea of mailing lists. One suggestion that came to my mind, is to have the ability for viewers to subscribe to conversations. It could be either through Email notifications or RSS.
A "meeting of the minds" or "intention" is one of the elements that is required for a valid contract. But it's not the only one. (For example if two guys sit in a room and say "let's order a pizza" that is not a contract even though it does express an intention.)

You also need:

- an offer

- acceptance of that offer

- some sort of consideration, i.e. some exchange of value

- capacity (i.e. you can't contract with someone who is incapable of consenting)

- legality ("lets steal a car" is not a valid contract)
They show that the 1L/h version uses more elements.

I assume there are some efficiencies as you get larger.
This means it is highly available and eventually consistent, but with additional consistency guarantees.

Anna is strongly eventually consistent. Meaning that, regardless of the order or number of times operations are replayed, the answer will always converge to the same value given time. For example, imagine you have a default value of "False", and a convergent value of "True". You may observe "False" after the value has been set to True, but you will never observe True and then have to worry about it flipping back to False.

Another example might be an integer that only grows. You can write to that integer:

1, 2, 3, 4

In any order, in parallel, or 100x each. But eventually the value will be 4 - not 1, 2, or 3. It may be 1, 2, or 3 at any time before it is 4, but the system will eventually converge to 4.

This can be very useful. Let's say you have a query "X < 3". This query happens after a write of 4, but you observe 3. You know that, given that the value only ever grows, X could be 3 or higher, but it definitely isn't less than 3.

So you can answer that query with the stale read. In an eventually consistent system without strong eventual consistency, after 4 gets written another write may get replayed after and make it go back to 2.

This has some obvious benefits. You can cache values forever, without invalidation logic. If I had read '3' from a cache I could answer the query directly. If the read had returned '2' I would have to go fetch the latest value to know if it had grown since then.

You may be asking "but what if I need to know the value right then". The answer is that you can put a strongly consistent store behind your strongly eventually consistent store. This is what is proposed in the CURP paper that I can't find this very moment.

I'm probably not current but Lua used to be an important one, used as a DSL within games. That is a fun one to spend some time learning anyway.
There's something the "old hackers" know that many CS students don't learn from the start (in the introductory classes), and that is actually how a computer operates. Don't spend a lot of time on this unless he's really interested, but it's a good idea to sit down with him for a few hours and teach him what really goes on inside a computer.

I'm talking about the concept of instructions, registers, addressable memory, etc. - with block diagrams, not with full circuits unless he's into that kind of stuff.

Then when he moves onto one of the high level languages that the other commenters are talking about the concepts will naturally stick. E.g. a variable is stored in memory, when we add two variables in the HLL we are copying those values to registers and using an ADD instruction, then we are writing the result back to memory. When there is an IF statement the computer will jump to either block of code depending on the conditional operation. Pointers become intuitive. And so on.

I've explained this to laymen and people who are interested in computers and have gotten a pretty positive reaction from them - so it's worth a shot. For a programmer who generally focuses on HLL it also allows them to get some idea of how their code is executed in the real world under all that abstraction.

Sorry, this is a complete misrepresentation of the whole Arm architecture in 2022.

The idea that ARM64 running on M1 or any other desktop or server is hobbled by the fact that you have a completely different ISA running on a $1 microcontroller is just wrong.
Yes, all the threads are one-on-one. We've toyed with the idea of group discussions, but haven't landed on what the path forward is there just yet.

I took CPSC 110 at UBC with Gregor Kiczales (who worked at Xerox PARC). It was the best course I’ve ever taken.

The course can also be completed for free: https://www.edx.org/bio/gregor-kiczales

How to code - simple data, and how to code - complex data together make up the material in CPSC 110 (though there are probably some differences). They’re completely accessible with no background requirements.

The courses are based on this curriculum, which uses HTDP: https://programbydesign.org/

The programming language used is based on scheme.

Yes, anecdotal.
Maybe write to Red and ask them if this means they have a right to your footage? Say that you will publish the response. Their reply could be no, yes or no/yes but... and their response will be usable in litigation, so they'll have to weigh the legal protection with the PR damage.

If they just repeat the EULA then treat it as a yes, hammer their social media comparing it to Apple's, ARRI's, Panasonic's etc. stance and let the EFF warn everyone.
And it was, back when any hint of "commercial use" could get your machine booted from the mail routes and usenet. After Cantor and Siegel, it was every spammer for himself.
Its not progress. Your car plant now needs a truck worth of car bumpers every day, when they take 4 weeks to ship from overseas. Any disruption means that your whole plant is now idle. But because of accounting rules, it made companies look much better off if they got 2 trucks of bumpers every day, rather than have 28 trucks worth of bumpers sitting in a warehouse. Much more risk, but sure does help up that earnings per share to help the CEO with his bonus based on stock price.

Remember how hospitals didn't have PPE, because they could always get more shipped in 2-3 days? Works great. Until it doesn't.
Conscription.

If you want to incentivize military service then make it mandatory and many of the best candidates will enlist in exchange for some influence over their military occupation. If the worker shortage persists, and all indications are it will, this is a probable outcome.

To @downrightmike who thought the Pat Tillman tragedy was worthy of mention in such a disrespectful way, the guy's sacrifice is awe inspiring regardless & your spin on what happened is inaccurate.
Thanks for the question!

There's certainly a risk that some kinds of abuse patterns will get through our reply-to-publish model. Eventually we'd like to try and detect bot traffic and challenge them with a CAPTCHA or similar.
I am not doing that at all. Switzerland for example has similar vax rates to Germany and I'd bet that Flordia is similar to Cali. You can even compare before any vaccinations and it's the same picture.

The reasons given for lockdown were ever shifting. Just very recently German Health Minister Karl Lauterach said we have to keep measures because 200 people a day die of Coronavirus and that's just too many.

> Up until the introduction of vaccines and more contagious variants (Delta/Omicron) there were clear effects on Rt from the introduction and lifting of restrictions.

Where, when, how? Even the very first lockdown in Germany happened when R was already <1. That used to be on the RKIs (our CDC) website.

What I don't understand is that I have to keep coming with facts (and still get censored) and you (the pro-lockdowners) can just keep doing argument by false assertions without showing any data whatsoever.
It would have been a boring SF story if they had been successful with climate control, right? That’s the dystopian bias. It’s hard to make positive future visions emotionally interesting, so we revert to the more entertaining visions of catastrophe.
How can someone get involved in the project? Do you plan to hire soon? Do you plan to develop mobile apps?

> Not to be shit-eating, but I never understood why people use python instead of Go

I've got a few sysadmin type scripts I wrote in perl that I'm currently rewriting in python because other people will use and need to update those things and they will be more likely to know python than perl. I can't imagine they'll be more likely to know Go either.
