I think there is a real danger in just arguing basically "things have always been a shit show, empires collapse, pandemics rage, etc. etc." for a couple reasons:

1. While true, lets not ignore the fact that things get really, really, really bad during those periods where empires do collapse, or environmental damage causes ecosystem collapse, etc. etc. I mean, yes, you could argue "Hey, the Black Death killed a 3rd of Europe" and be correct, but I'm not sure what comfort that's supposed to give. Even if you want to argue that the post-war era up until, say, the 80s was an extremely unique period of progress and broad-based social advancement, that still doesn't make me feel any better if we're now in a "reversion to the mean."

2. Advanced technology does make "things collapsing" potentially much more catastrophic than in generations past. I'm not just talking about things like nuclear war, but things like the speed with which modern social media (and regular media) can pit people against each other is very different than, say, the yellow journalism periods of decades past.

Repetitive mouse clicks going in and out of a few MDI child windows.

A list of things, select one, new window popup, do some check box ticking with the mouse, click the window close button (top right) , select next item in the list and repeat.

I saw this in a version of XP and havent seen it since. How I knew, was I deliberately didnt click on the checkbox but near to it and did the same with the close button in the top right of the window, and they both worked like I had clicked on them properly!

In a way that repetitive situation is perfect for AI.
> Those things don't require much hard work or intelligence

They really do. It's different from the work or intelligence you apply to technical problems, but it's there. What you call 'street knowledge' and savvy judgment is commonly known as 'emotional intelligence'. (Your terms are way cooler, though ;)

The "hard work" part is also often on the emotional side. Everything you need to do includes a "how will that make the person feel, and do I want that" component.
I work in python all the time, and I’ve still not found a situation where this happened. Sometimes you might have specific components that you might want to write in other languages, but this is really rare unless you’re manually writing really computationally intensive or time critical procedures. Which hopefully you should know going into the project. Like if you’re rolling your own in-line audio processing you know up front that python is a bad choice. But any CRUD-like app? Python is plenty fast, especially if you’re relying on c implementations of heavy-lifting stuff.
This rule is addressing other actions by government, such as the choice of government funded schools to adopt an ideology that a majority views as dangerous to their children — and represents a limit on government power.

Why would this constitute overreach?
Explain that to him. Talk to him, explain why things are the way they are. And of course, compromise as you would with an adult. Is your opinion really an universal truth or is there some compromise you can reach?

For example, playing with knives is not a good idea, but maybe all the child wants is to be included in cooking? Giving him a spoon might be enough (and much safer).

But every situation is different, it's not easy. :) Don't give up, and good luck!
Yes! That’s what the plugin system is designed for. https://github.com/str4d/age-plugin-yubikey is fairly mature and I use it every day.

Currently it's only compatible with https://github.com/str4d/rage, because age only supports plugins in a branch, but I'm hoping to land support this week!
As someone with a spotty internet connection and who likes to work at coffee shops with annoying login prompts, I'd really appreciate a product like that. I can get a data-only sim from Google Fi for free so it'd be an easy purchase for me.

(I have no idea why my internet connection is so bad. I pay for 20Mb/s, and half the time it's like 200Mb/s and the other half I don't have internet at all.)
Well, they did have domestic terrorist groups going around setting off bombs on the regular in the 60s and 70s. I was quite surprised to read about it.

I recommend adding a tutorial or explanation. I read the homepage, followed the funnel to "Play as Guest", and this immediately started a game with what was presumably another human. The prompts showed me how to play a card, but I'm not clear how the mechanics work.
Yes. The problem here is that there was a big one of those just yesterday. HN does poorly with repetition, and throwing in the indignation aspect and the meta aspect (can you believe what an HN commenter said yesterday? the nerve!) guarantees that the thread will get high and go crazy. None of that is intentional, but it's a well-known failure mode, so the flags in this case were helpful. We've taken the [flagged] stigma off the title above, so as not to rub salt in any wounds.

The system has checks and balances to prevent such things from dominating discussion here. (Flags are part of that system; so are software bells and whistles; so are moderators). If we didn't have those, the front page would consist of nothing but sensational flamewars and endless towers of meta!

Thanks! Seems like a lovely teacher and person.

Also, interesting to read about the Moore method (I found vid the Algolia link). If I'll ever do some teaching stuff, I'll try Halmos' flavor of that method :-)
I've read the bill as well and I think the clear take-away is Florida doesn't want teachers talking to five-year-olds about sex, period. No sexual preferences are specified in the bill, whatsoever.
On a burning station? That's not safe. Is a train even going to stop at a burning station?
I did the SaaS-side-business thing for about 6 years. Early on I decided the SaaS was going to be my next career move and I would stay at my employer until I could quit employment altogether. A new job means you have to earn your place on a new team and how could I do that successfully with one eye on my SaaS at all times?

When James joined stripe I was surprised both that stripe was agreeable to side projects and that James was courageous enough to try to do both. Open sourcing here just looks like more courage.

Good luck James and congrats on what you’ve built here!
I don't get it.

You don't like that he is wearing a mask in the github profile?

Are you serious? Am I missing something?
There's a lot of different ways to answer this, but I think about it as a different architectural paradigm. Yes you can do stream-ish things with Postgres but at some level of scale you'd be putting a square peg in a round hole.

What opened my eyes to this world is this post from Martin Kleppman on turning the database inside out: https://martin.kleppmann.com/2015/03/04/turning-the-database...

This comment may have been made in jest, but I think this is the only way to really reduce traffic. At a certain point, if you're on the road, there isn't much you can do to make yourself less traffic causing since you can only control your actions and not the actions of others.

There may be some ways to slightly reduce traffic, but the impacts are nearly negligible. Driving more efficiently and safely has its own benefits, but without reducing the number of cars on the road traffic will inevitably get backed up once enough cars are on a road.
I'm more concerned with "what they do with said taxes" than what they're taxing itself. California has one of the least-efficient operations when it comes to deliverability.

Same here, we had to stop buying books from Amazon because they just get destroyed in a way too large box (often with other items) and no packing materials to make it secure. Amazon might now be the largest destroyer of books in the world!
This is if you have emacs-based keybindings (which is the default). M-f/M-b (Meta, often the alt key or option key) will move forward/backward a full word. C-f/C-b moves forward/backward a character. C-w kills the previous word (if you're in the middle of a word it leaves everything from the cursor to the end intact).

C-r will search backward in your history allowing you to type partial matches (like, "I know I compiled foo.c, but what options did I use?" type `C-r foo.c` and repeatedly type C-r until I find the compiler command I used).

You can switch to vi keybindings with `set -o vi`.
One important distinction is to understand that VA ECMO is more often used as mechanical circulatory support in cases of severe heart failure leading to cardiogenic shock. Used alone or in conjunction with other mechanical devices (balloon pumps or impella pumps) it can augment cardiac output to provide sufficient perfusion and oxygenation of your organs and distal extremities.

VV ECMO, on the other hand, is used purely for gas exchange (O2 and CO2) due to respiratory failure. Much of the debate in the critical care community is centered around which circumstances and patients derive the most benefit from initiation of VV ECMO. The best studied use case, is in the setting of acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is defined by very specific criteria (bilateral noncardiogenic pulmonary edema with ratio of arterial oxygenation partial pressure to fraction of inspired oxygen less than 300 mmHg). The EOLIA trial published in NEJM in 2018 looked at early initiation of VV ECMO in patients with severe ARDS [1]. It demonstrated no mortality benefit of ECMO, however many say that the study was not appropriately powered as the assumptions used to design the study were from 2008 when mortality from ARDS was much higher. Re-analysis of the data from the EOLIA trial using bayesian methods suggests that there might actually some benefit to early initiation of ECMO [2]

At what cost? How many man-hours did it take? How many bugs could have been avoided? How much faster could it be done with other languages? Most importantly: if Google stops backing its development, who else could replace it?

Redis/SQLite are written in C, and it is also used by millions of people. They are also not known to be bad or full of bugs. You don't see that being used as an argument to claim that C is an "adequate" language for most people nowadays.

And if you did see anyone using that argument, we probably would say that this is just a lie they tell themselves to keep using C.
"Strong man" and "strongman" are identified in the meme. I'm just making that explicit.
Nim (https://nim-lang.org/) is a fast, compiled language that is as easy to use as Python. It doesn't have the same ecosystem or user-base of Python though, although Python and Nim can be bridged via nimpy.
Cologne is also a bit bigger, out in the smaller towns around Cologne they still pay with cash most of the time. But last year I did notice an increase of card payment at the supermarket. At the local baker and butchers you can forget about it though, they don't even have a terminal for it.
FWIW you can get a USB dvd drive for under $30.
Even hiding potentially illegal speech (if you believe such a thing should exist) for some time creates considerable potential of abuse. A group of malicious political actors could still suppress opinions and thus make it appear that there is a public consensus on the opposing opinion.

Especially with a state which has deliberately unclear and flexible (in the sense of 'rubber', not 'agile') laws, this is too big a risk. For example, right now it appears to be illegal to use the letter Z as a symbol in Germany, because some people think that this somehow glorifies/justifies the illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, which is illegal in itself. (No such provision seem to exist against glorifying/justifying the illegal wars of aggressions which "NATO partners" have staged).

So, if we think we need to ban free speech, the strictest controls need to be set up to prevent abuse, and that includes:

1. after a report, a judge ordering a post to be taken down (this could be done by an "Einstweilige Verfügung" until a final verdict can be made)

2. clear guidelines which speech is illegal enough to justify this strong response, defined in a way that does not allow for a slow and secret extension over time. Beware of rubber vocabularies like 'Hate Speech', which can be anything. While we are at it, get rid of 'illegal speech' laws that only make speech illegal when a sufficiently large number (how many?) of other people (that may then decide to become violent) may find offensive (looking at you, blasphemy)

3. Sensible instruments to punish people and/or organisations who abuse this process.

4. These blocking cases need to be publicly documented to avoid "things just disappearing".

Anything less than that, and we really cannot claim to be any better than the many autocratic regimes who ignore human rights.

People won't stop buying phones because their laptops are 5G enabled. The laptop's eSIM would be on the same plan as the phone. It would help carriers to push more expensive plans with much bigger data caps, which is easy with 5G. To the point of eating some home broadband market share- I imagine some people canceling their home broadband like they've cancelled their phone landlines, which initially seemed unthinkable.
It might feel like that, but I'm not sure it is in reality. "Good To Great" (Jim Collins) was published in 2001, and commented how publicity-seeking CEOs seemed to do better when the reality was quite different.

I wouldn't be especially surprised to see Elon Musk bankrupt by the end of the decade.
Yes I totally regret it. There are ethical VCs that would be willing to invest a small amount and I should have done that. Bootstrapping isn't all it's cracked up to be; there are a lot better and smarter ways to kickstart a project.
totally different approaches tho. people have tried what you proposed many times before and for some scale succeeded. hard to compare at all when you dig into the details.

expect a companion post. this was super fun to partner with kyle on this. +1 would recommend to anyone building a storage system.
The consequence is supposed to be that you get voted out of office. Unfortunately, there seems to be quite an audience for bad-faith politics nowadays. And I don't think this is unique to conservatives, and I also don't think that your examples are good ones. It seems increasingly clear that anti-abortion bills, for example, are not being passed in bad faith. The Republican Party really is intent on delivering on its promise to overturn Roe, and it looks like they are going to succeed.

On the other side, I'm pretty disappointed in how Merrick Garland is handling the events of Jan 6, 20201.

But we should probably shut this conversation down because we are getting very close to violating the HN prohibition on political discussions (if we have not already crossed that line).
Private equity executive sought to undermine NSO critics
Except for the ones who don't.
To me this is a category problem, which are very complex. Because man and women are concepts like a chair is a concept. Ask a hundred people to define a chair and you are going to get a hundred different answers.
'Per Wikipedia, the US army defines an assault rifle as: "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges."'

The etymology supports this as well, going back to the first ones during WW2.

One thing to note, is that the law can define terms however they want. So places are applying their own novel definitions, largely involving cosmetic features or make/model.

Of course one other thing to point out is that the assault rifle bans are mostly a red herring given the relatively low contribution to homicides.
Have you been a CEO?

Edit: come on guys, you're going to criticize the author for not having been a CEO? If you haven't been one either, what's the basis for the criticism? It makes no logical sense.

Edit 2: Regardless of whether the author is right or wrong, "You can't judge because you were never a CEO" is a silly comment to make. Maybe, the author is wrong, but in any case it's not because he's never been a CEO. Almost nobody has been a CEO. Does that mean they are immune from criticism by the rest of us? I just really felt the need to point out the sloppy thinking there. I'm clearly right about this. It seems as though pointing out obvious logical mistakes is now justification for downvotes and taking personal offence?
But the output is depending on how much you put it, it’s actually progressive. Just less so than taxation in general.
HAHA it's not, no worries! The goal is to bring the most space-like experience to your browser, the rest is not important.

The future of Linux: Fedora project leader Matthew Miller weighs in
The difference is internal vs public. I'm saying build one for internal use (public is readonly). That way you don't deal with moderation and spam.
You're a niche. But if linux fixes the 10^10^10^10 different distros problem and gets an awesome desktop environment that large companies can confidently program against knowing that all linux users will be covered, then everything else will pretty much disappear overnight.

Who cares? This is literally an instance of a sitting government official using the power of his office to punish a private enterprise for not donating to him. It's that simple. That's what Disney did to offend DeSantis (that, and excersizing their free speech). It's a straight up banana republic shakedown.

OCaml is a language that I'd really like to use more in my day to day but can't find a use for.
I probably shouldn't be responding to this because it's skating dangerously close to the HN prohibition on political discussion (if we haven't already crossed that line) but I have to say that from where I sit most of the intolerance for dissent in the Democratic party seems to me to be coming from the left and not the center.
Interesting, when I looked at it a couple years ago I didn't see that. So it uses the PIV mode? And it can use asymmetric encryption as I see it?

This is definitely something I will look at. One problem is that I use Unix Pass ( https://www.passwordstore.org/ ), which uses GPG under the hood. Through that I use the yubikeys as the actual encryption source for each password, I have each password encrypted against multiple keys to safeguard against loss.

So what would be needed for me to completely move over to age, would be a version of 'pass' that supports age with yubikeys, and also a mobile app that can do this (right now I use PasswordStore on Android, which communicates with OpenKeyChain which is basically GPG for Android with a nice shell around it). So I use the Yubikey over NFC there (though USB is also possible if you really want), to access my passwords. It works pretty well after some initial hiccups.

Besides this I GPG for asymmetric-based file encryption of things like backups, for which age could already be an alternative indeed. And for SSH access, but I kinda had Fido2 pegged as a replacement for that as this is where they're seeming to be headed.
That sounds like what happens whenever I run WebEx
Agree. Nowadays, I see anything that did not go through Jepsen with suspicion. Forces me to do the triple of technical due diligence.
Usually special purpose districts with taxing authority have supervisors elected by the property owners or residents in that district. (As does this one, it's just the only property owner is Disney). But I don't know for sure if it would be possible/legal in FL to do differently; like a special district with taxing authority over property owners in the district, whose board is just appointed by the governor or something?

I mean I guess they could... it wouldn't surprise me if there are legal problems with effectively just deciding to tax all Disney property extra.
That... seems illegal.
You're making a hypothetical argument that is only tangentially-related to the actual bill as-passed.

The bill that was passed is deliberately vague. Beyond that, it empowers private citizens to sue teachers in their personal capacities for any alleged transgression.

This is crazy. The status quo was that this question would be left up to school districts, with boards that are elected at the local level. If a teacher was not complying with school district policy, then the recourse was to fire the teacher.

The bill you're arguing in favor of hijacks control from local voters, overrides the expressed preferences of parents and local voters, and relies on civil lawsuits to enforce a state policy.
