That is a fantastic pedagogical method.

I'd like to see some sort of channel or forum dedicated to similar critiques.

Sadly, much of the academic publishing world seems to be geared around "scratch my back" and not disrupting funding agencies, publishers, and/or senior (academic) department officials.

There may be criticism, yes, but it seems far more defensive than objective --- protecting turf.

Defence against the Dark Arts^W^WCertified Crackpots does remain a concern, of course.
Ah nice! The current ones are ok, but you can tell they’re old.
I disagree.

In fact I'd go so far as to say that none of those things are applications.

But one of the problems of discussions about concepts and philosophies in computing, I find, is that people are very wedded to their ideas and will eagerly redefine them on the fly in an attempt to defend them.

So, for instance, I think that a fairly useful example of what counts as "part of the OS" today would be, for instance, what comes along with the OS on its installation medium. And to dodge questions of who-wrote-what, let's say that as an example let us talk about, say, FreeBSD or OpenBSD. They are the products of single teams of people, unlike any Linux distro.

I installed FreeBSD as recently as yesterday, as research for this article:
https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/20/freebsd_131/

And as the piece mentions, OpenBSD in April, for this one:
https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/22/openbsd_71_released_i...

So they are recent, they are current versions, and can reasonably be described as two of the most complete modern versions of UNIX that are the products of single teams.

Excluding Firefox, for example, as being manifestly an external component, albeit a FOSS one that can be installed directly from either OS's repos.

Both come with an X.11 server as a standard OS component. That is not an application. Both offer Xfce as a standard desktop. That too is not an application.

An X server is every bit as much an OS component of 21st century UNIX as is `awk` or `sed`. It is not 1974. We are not using PDP-11s any more.

Tell me, can you pipe things to an X server? Can you usefully pipe its output to another program?

I don't think that you can. And that, I submit, blows clean out of the water all the high-minded stuff about the conceptual purity of UNIX.
It works mostly for me, except that my bank doesn't provide apps through fdroid or an apk through the website.
I don't think autopilot circa 2019 would detect and react to traffic lights?

The case seems pretty clear cut anyway, the guy had cruise control on and wasn't paying attention to traffic lights. We'll see if he turns around and sues Tesla, pleading ignorance about what "autopilot" could do.

I prefer shorter work weeks.

My company's return to office policy is a hybrid deal. I am very productive when I'm in the office and I use the remote days to refresh myself. On those days I generally only "work" by replying to messages and listening in on remote meetings. I've never been more productive. I get more done in my in-office days now than I did during a full week either during the pandemic or before it.

A number of reasons come to mind:

1. Not doing anything in the face of “evidence” is ripe for malpractice lawsuits, rightly or wrongly

2. Not doing anything in the face of “evidence” can drive anxiety for patients and many clinicians want to be seen as having some answer or path forward, however:

3. Not all diagnostics are risk or pain free

4. Not all diagnostics are precise enough to make treatment decisions clear, correct, and authoritative - so more diagnostics will lead to more false positives which, when paired with the previous points lead to trouble for the clinician and possibly the patient.
edit: my comment is not adequate for aneurysms

Well there are solutions that have negligible risk of damage and potent likeliness of protection/improvement, e.g. for narrowed arteries the vasodilator tadalafil in low dose should be a net improvement.
Then you might want to combine it with a pro-angiogenic drug such as VEGF or better BPC-137.

Also even if someone seems asymptomatic it doesn't mean he is, narrowed arteries very likely to increase his aging rate and chances of death and are likely to create a nocitropic effect by creating a mini brain ischemia.
If you didn't create it, it isn't your creations. It's algorithmic output.

The driver is charged with manslaughter. Maybe the title implies that Tesla is being sued or that autopilot is on trial but that's not the case

No they didn't. The justice department announced their interpretation of that policy and how they'd use discretion.

You want meaningful reform on anything within 500 miles of this topic from the legislature? Good luck.
I'd suggest you to write some explanation on what do you want to achieve. Also, you may want to implement social login so it would be easier for people to try.
I am baffled by this explanation. Physical movement is one of the things we have lots of and lots of data about. We can even measure it reasonably accurately using devices that most people always carry in our pockets. If the solution to the obesity epidemic was as simple as "walk around more" then we'd have already solved it. But while there are huge benefits to going from zero walking to "some walking", those benefits don't scale to the levels needed by simply adding more steps.

TL;DR If adding a couple miles per day of walking would resolve the obesity epidemic, it'd already be resolved across a huge swath of the population. But all evidence is that the marginal weight-loss benefit of walking tails off rapidly, unless it's paired with a restricted-calorie diet (which is exactly the point: our 1960s parents/grandparents didn't need that.)
Krebs is not a bad idea as he would cover not only the leak but the (allegedly) shady nature of the service. He’s read by a lot of serious people including law enforcement and national security.

Negotiate your own anonymity with him BEFORE you provide any actual info (this goes for all reporters BTW).

Another option is to drop a write-up in The NY Times or Washington Post Secure Drop TOR service. They both have serious info security reporters.

No guarantee any of these options will pick up the story, of course.
> HN's are pretty well documented.

Au contraire.

The word Karen reaching a tipping point in public awareness associated with the Gamestop incident I already pointed out. Many of us have seen it. We're aware of it, we know about it. And we know it is potent, otherwise it wouldn't be on the chopping block for redefinition. And forever, when I think of the word Karen, I think of that particular incident.

The word in that sense, has a great deal of similarity with a tiny little phrase, of a mere two words.

Mission Accomplished.

Whether tearful, premature, ironic, deceptive, tragic, or an example of great hubris, many of us living will forever associate those two words with George W. Bush on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, and the incalculable human suffering of an unpopular war. The friends we lost after that, and military adventurism run amok. The missing Weapons of Mass Destruction. So much is wrapped up in those two words. And forever, when I think of the phrase Mission Accomplished, I think of that particular speech.

Please do not tell me that HN is going to redefine a word for me, whether it is Karen, or Mission Accomplished, or some other phrase.

We don't need civilized pejoratives that are completely decent for dinner table talk to be conflated with uncivilized utterances not fit for the written or spoken word.

Dang should not become a speech dictator.
LiveKit – Open source, high performance WebRTC infrastructure
Honestly, this is the first time I ever hear of this, and I almost go back to steam engine trains :p
i dont see why u need separation of backend/frontend... anyhow. i guesse u can make a frontend executable. On boot it checks if the backend is running or not. if not. run it. Then establish a form of communication. usually sockets. if communication is needed 1 direction, just keep a read() open on the backend, if communication is needed 2 directions, u will have to keep a read() open on both ends.

But again, separating front & backend for a desktop application, is kinda weird.

None of your numbers have citations, which make them hearsay and effectively anecdotal at best
The marketing of "autopilot" may end up being central to this case. It is indeed just adaptive cruise control, which is also present on many other cars, but the way it is advertised suggests otherwise. Additionally, Tesla has been selling people "Full Self-Driving Capability" when self driving beyond cruise control hasn't been figured out yet.

This is false advertising, and apparently it may be involved in turning Tesla drivers who believe it into negligent killers. The driver may be able to argue that Tesla told him the car would stop, and so there is no negligence on his part.
It will be like that for a while, until, one day, we realize we've had fully self-driving Teslas for 2-3 years.

I live in a small city and work in a nearby larger city.° The distance is 45km and it takes me about 45mins to drive the car, door to door.

Public transport is pretty good on this connection, but overall it takes me 75-90 mins, because I need to change twice and there are wait times.

° Well, I'm working from home now...

I used to live in a different, larger, city, and worked on the opposite side of the same city. Distance 13km. Driving commute 30 mins (middle of the night) to 45 mins (rush hour) each way. Public transport 90 mins...
Quick fixes to your code review workflow
The problem with short commutes is most people are part of what we call a "family". Most have two people with jobs. The shorter the commute the harder it is for both to find a job within range.

WFH is nice for those who can do it, but there are a lot of jobs that cannot be done from home.
> Cannabis can very well lead to dependency

My eyes near roll through my head when I hear people say this.

Anything can lead to dependency. ANYTHING. Sex, judo, farting for attention. Scratching your sack. Making shitty tik-toks.

The withdrawal symptoms for cannabis are so, so, so so far from that of opiates or nicotine; or benzos, as you mention, that yeah, you can basically say there are no withdrawal symptoms.

Some people are prone to dependence on things, due to their physiology or psychological make-up. Those people are far, far, far better off using cannabis than benzos or opiates. Look at how much deaths from overdoses go down in legalized areas. That applies in both medicinal and recreational contexts.

> ...very real and especially psychologically quite harmful side-effects of Cannabis

Wut. Quite harmful compared to what - water? Water kills more people than cannabis does.

On balance, far more people find psychological benefit than harm from cannabis. Same with physical health. Handwave that away.

Compare the side-effects from cannabis to ibuprofen. Come on man, let's keep some perspective here.

Just to be sure to understand, and to summarize

- you don't live in US

- you want to build a start-up in the nuclear research field

- you don't want Europe to find out EASILY who own this nuclear research start-up (the privacy motivation)

From my point of view, it seem like you know that you shouldn't build this startup, either because of regulation or non-compete agreement (like using research done for a current Europe corp or administration without rights), and I'm afraid that Europe will think the same (and US won't protect you on this I guess)

I think that if your startup succeed, Intelligence Services will quickly find out who you are (well... nuclear research is I think closely monitored, dont you think).
It’s only a smear campaign if you believe everything he says (which I don’t).

One reason behind why doctors can’t simply do tests then not follow up is simply medical malpractice suits.

If you're offended by my use of the term "alt-right" then mentally apply s/alt-right/extremist/ and re-read the comment.

It seems pretty straightforward. He instructed the cruise control/autopilot to significantly speed, may have run a red light (question of fact for the jury), and is presumably guilty of something (matter of law for a judge).

Because I don't want to make everything else look worse just to lower contrast in text?

And support for low contrast doesn't mean excluding others, it can just be a setting. Like Windows has been doing for a long time with its high-contrast mode. Websites and apps are increasingly adopting dark themes, next we should push for a switch between high and lower contrast. It's just as easy from a technical standpoint. Browsers are already pretty far, letting the user set specific fonts and font sizes, and Firefox' reader mode and its options are great as well.
