Nineteen children have received a particularly final form of gun education as part of their primary education yesterday.
Ruby I have found to be incredibly difficult in this regard as well.
Funny, I was going to say it seems similar to that one - dense with words but light on technical theory (I was tempted to say 'content' but I'm sure that's unduly harsh, as you say this will suit some). Maybe I didn't spend enough time with it, my recollection is just of it waffling on and on about agents.
Stay away, as much as possible, from physical items.

They will serve as a pair of handcuffs and make your life harder to move around in.

If you feel comfort in things you should try to get out more and experience what else life can give you.

Sell it all or give it away. It's fake comfort and it comes with a different cost than what you paid for it in the first place.
If you're using Github you don't even need RTD. You can host a Sphinx site direct from GH without the sluggishness and theming of RTD.
This could be said about any criticism. It’s also perfectly valid to point out flaws in a style of writing.

It’s so common, a lot of places have comment sections where people can leave their opinions.

As for making assumptions, that’s fine, I read heavy technical stuff on hn a lot and often find myself out of depth and unable to gain benefit that would apply to me from an article. So often I’ll just stop reading and go about my day.

But really, having an obtuse opener on a blog post serves no one. There’s just no flow to it.

Thanks - that made me laugh!
A different point-of-view: on one side people and so some institutions who happen starting doing a very little part of their job start to wonder how "safe" is living on someone else computer-systems and want something "more local" under their control. On the other some wannabe dictatorships start to think that covering their back parts from others propaganda can be good for them.

That's NOT at all the end of borderless data, it's just the beginning of the end of GAFAM dominion since most States in the world and few Citizens start to want their own systems under their own control. Witch is actually mostly VERY good, the not good part is censorship but the west world authorities can only remain silent since their own censorship on their own people from Assange to present censorship and mud machines of "third parties" subjects they dislike (no matter the reasons), the missed part is popular reaction that so far AFAIK is hyper low.

My fellow HNers if we want, for good reasons, a homeserver with our data instead of someone else services that can be banned, changes overnight in unpleasant manner, ... why someone else should want differently? Does this means the end of borderless internet? IMVHO DEFINITIVELY NOT it means just the end of some hyper giant players witch can be observed elsewhere like the end of mega-ships, mega-planes, mega-projects etc or just the passage from mainframes to clusters.

The negative part is that we still not get much freedom simply because ways to control us are so many that even dropping smartphones and IT giants accounts to the bin (witch means GAFAM in the west, Yandex in Russia, Tancent in China etc) does not change anything since now digital controls is done by private parties (the aforementioned giants) under States laws like digital payment push, social scoring etc witch is the actual real dangerous and disastrous thing. For that the real missed point is: people need a basic IT culture to understand because now IT is a basic component of our society and to be Citizens we need to know a bit our society OR we can only be subjects/parasites. Only with such basic culture people in sufficient mass would push against certain dangerous aspects ON TIME.
The number of bots misses the point for advertising too. If a company spends $X on Twitter ads and measures a boost of $Y in sales from Twitter leads, how many humans vs bots viewed the ads is neither here nor there.

That said, the question is certainly worth asking beyond the realm of advertising. Media has a significant impact on people and society beyond its profitability.

Modern remixes of legacy microelectronics like this are a hobby I'm particularly fond of. I'm sure I'm not alone in having assembled far too many Z80, 6809 and 6502 and of course 8088 projects than is probably healthy over Covid.

On the PC-XT specifically I highly recommend anyone who isn't already familiar dig in to the great Sergey Kiselev's project logs and documentation,[1] as he's often the root inspiration for many more recent remixes (such as the NuXT) [2]. He's also created clean redesigns of many ISA-compatible cards (sound, video, storage).

Some people take the hobby to levels I find mind-boggling, such as Alexandru Groza's efforts to essentially single-handedly recreate 386 hardware. [3]

My argument was towards the network/IT equipment, but Voyager is even more special since it's a very application specific system.

Generalization itself is hard, it gets MUCH harder when you have to care about back compat and random executables that can alter system state because previous versions allowed that behavior and it needs to be supported for the common cases moving forwards.

Serious security vulnerability in Tails 5.0
Exactly. If there’s benefit in checking that everything is configured correctly, and software bugs, hardware bugs and cosmic rays cause things to enter a misconfigured state, then maybe it’s worth periodically validating the internal state at runtime? The earlier errors are detected, the less damage they can cause and the easier they are to debug. Also when errors are detected, I imagine soft-reboots of that hardware or kernel module would usually be better for the user than hard reboots of the entire system.

Mind you, a once in a blue moon reboot of the network interface might cause more problems in a web application than a reboot of the entire machine.

That I have no idea if you would have wanted more lockdown or less lockdown or more masks or less masks, etc, etc, should indicate the difficulty in decision making.

But for the record, I'm not defending any decisions made by any government, I'm merely defending the difficulty of the process, and they will be dragged for any decision they make regardless because, again, there is no win scenario in a pandemic.
Wasn’t this the case with every generation? This is not boomer specific at all.

I was surprised at how cheap it was, actually, once I went ahead and bought myself an old C64. These things aren't remotely at "collector level" prices yet, and they might well never be. They're still usually cheaper than the sticker price back when they were new, and with inflation that's not very expensive.

I have the impression people are selling more to "make sure it ends up with someone who can appreciate it" than to make a profit, and that's a good example to follow in other niches than vintage computers I think.
Because as tech stack increases, complexity also increases. Just move it to the cloud :P

> but the alternative is to keep throwing money at the power company (and some of that energy will likely be from coal nowadays).

This is Denmark, where a large part of our power grid is based on renewables, and backup power is based on natural gas. There is no coal involved. When we import power it's from Norway/Sweden or Germany, so either renewables or nuclear. We're not at Norwegian CO2 levels (yet), but it's getting better :)

You can check for yourself here : https://app.electricitymap.org/map

> Since I bought an electric car I've been drooling over the idea of having the car powered by the sun.

Denmark has outlawed sales of new ICE cars from 2030, so at that point solar will make MUCH more sense, as i can charge my car for "free", and the time to ROI will be much shorter.

> But in Scandinavia, I bet most energy goes to heating so improving insulation and adding ground thermal will probably be more efficient.

I thought so to, but currently, in no small part due to the Ukraine situation, lots of people are replacing oil and natural gas heaters with heat pumps or central heating, and the central heating providers are installing large heat pumps as well.

As part as getting a heat pump, my house (built 1970's and renovated 2010's) has a total heat demand of roughly 13000 kWh. Assuming a heat pump with a SCOP of 3.5, that means i will need about 3700 kWh of electricity to heat it, which means that our total electricity consumption ends up around 7500 kWh, so about half the energy (in my case) being used for heating.
You forgot the semi-official extra storage that many houses come with, especially I guess in the northern half: the sauna. :)

Apologies to any sensitive readers from Finland.

In my case, no sauna and previous owners redid the garage into hall/utility (laundry) room/big bathroom and a small unheated workshop. Guess where the clutter lives, heh. :/
I don’t think the above commenter was referring to startups. It’s very easy to fall into the though that all tech companies are either FAANGS, Unicorns or Startups.

The vast majority of tech companies are ones you’ve probably never heard of. They don’t pay spectacularly like the SV shops but they don’t underpay either.

I currently work for an digital agency in Ohio. You probably have never heard of them and you likely never will. They don’t make headlines but they’ve chugged along for over a decade, making a healthy business out of building applications for local companies in Ohio as well as some larger companies you have definitely heard of.

Companies like these are the majority, but you never hear about them because the media is focused on a few select companies, mostly consumer tech, that everyone’s heard of and generate headlines.
I wonder how many “less tech savvy” users use ddg, because in my experience people who actually care about their security are quite tech savvy as a rule - not necessarily in IT though. While the others use a default search engine/browser/whatever.

The point is: Twitter is useful for who?

For users I see nothing useful. For third party using users tweets to get live coverage of something a little use.

For human network and mud analysis by Twitter owners and those who buy/commission such studies a significant use.

So the point is: WHY THE HELL so many people want to work for free mostly against their own interests spending time on the platform? That's an interesting point because having flock of humans (sorry for being so rude, but that's is) willing to work for free for someone else interests is VERY interesting... I have many things I'd like to outsource for free to third parties willing to work gratis for me. Just basic stuff eh! Who want to came at my home to clean it up regularly for free or even pay for being allowed to clean up more regularly?
All companies will look bad and unhealthy on the inside if your yardstick is some abstract ideal or a polished external image.

It's been a Common Lisp problem forever.

Go to Github and do a simple search just to see how many projects are nearing completion, but then dropped at some random point never to be touched again. The README.md is almost always impeccable, and go into great detail about the upcoming plans that were already dropped years ago. Real go-getters, that bunch.

Even better, add "quantum" to your search, and nearly all of them that aren't from the well-known quantum compute companies are like that. They really stand out among their peers. In a laughable way.

Lisp people can't resist getting into something, and then just turning away without notice when they realize they're in over their heads. How many Lisp "books" and "tutorials" are being written over decades now. Especially the quantum ones?

Lisp "tutorials" are the worst because it is so obvious the writer is learning at the same time they're writing. You're basically learning their mistakes as verified gospel. Only once you get some experience, or a better course, do you realize how much those "toots" lead you astray.

Even the YouTube Lisp courses that pretend they are complete aren't. They get about half way through, and then rush through a one pager on OOP programming to end it. Ridiculous.

I love the Lisp language. I really dislike its "meh" culture.

Vote against "tough on chyna" party

I want to add that it's a gross simplification to say Chinese Australians "like" what's going on in mainland politics. They're much more nuanced than a one button outcome. I think they like the liberal world view, (liberal in Australia doesn't mean what it does in the US) but not the aggrevated tensions with the Chinese state. Many have family ties back in the mainland, come and go, anything for a quiet life...

To be Chinese ethnicity but vote in Australia they have to renounce Chinese citizenship and so they are already somewhat constrained in how they engage with things "back home"

There are probably good parallels to the fracture in Cuban American culture facing sanctions, its bankable in Miami and possibly nowhere else. Or Iranian Americans (or should I say persian americans) who repudiate the politics but love their homeland intensely? Amping up sanctions on Tehran splits views here.

Well.. one party tried to weaponise it in the Oz elections and it backfired.
Too bad you'll still end up with requests as part of some other package's dependency most of the time.
You are right, I was getting angry, and being unreasonable.

But while claiming my representation of pro-lifers is unreasonably broad, you repeat a bunch of the standard claims.

You make the common claim that laws preventing people from doing things to others without their consent are no different from laws preventing a person from receiving medical treatment of their own body.

> "Banning abortions can be effective at lowering abortions as well."

It does reduce the number of abortions a small amount, and it also increases the number of women who die during them, when they get them anyway.

What actually reduces abortions is reducing pregnancy in the first place. Something that has been repeatedly shown is achieved through provision of birth control, and actual sex education. Doing that results in a much greater reduction in abortions, and doesn't come at the cost of killing women.

"At least it gives rights to her baby."

I honestly don't know what you're trying to say here? No one has removed anyone's rights to their baby - again, the only right being removed here is a woman's bodily autonomy. In fact, by forcing women to carry unsafe pregnancies to term you may end up forcing them into sterility. So not only did you remove their right to abortion, you remove their ability to have children later.

The arguments you are making take the color of "pro-choicers want abortions", which is a standard lie promoted by pro-lifers. The states that are electively pro-choice are also the states that provide contraception, birth control, some semblance of sex ed - things that actually reduce abortions.

I do not understand why you think I have not tried to understand. I understand your position very clearly. It is not complex.

You believe abortion is wrong, and therefore you believe that it doesn't matter what a woman may believe, that they should not have bodily autonomy.

Currently this is limited to abortion, but given you believe that women do not have any constitutional right to bodily autonomy, there is no reason you cannot decide that woman should lose other rights in future.

I am not being facetious, and I am not being hysterical. Numerous governments, left and right wing, liberal and conservative, have at numerous points in history determined that women should be involuntarily sterilized (which I guess stops abortions, so yay?) for a variety of reasons - that were mentally ill, gay, non-white, ...

See, the problem is that once you say someone does not have bodily autonomy, then you have stated that the government has permission to control those victim's bodies. It's not "just one thing", the debate about abortion is the debate over whether a woman gets a say in what happens to her body.

The pro-life position is that women do not.

Depending on the age of the car your skull could also be cored by the steering column like an apple.

In the 50's the industry propaganda, parroted by bought and paid for regulators, was that all people involved in an automobile collision were irresponsible drivers deserving of death and disfigurement. And especially so for the colored ones, they probably drove recklessly after stealing them. You can't trust the lot of 'em.

One bit of advice I took from an old decluttering book: You can only sentimentalize a limited number of things, so any mementos of yours beyond what are displayed on a single set of shelves should be stored/rotated or discarded.
Is this even an argument, or are you being sarcastic?
For some reason, many Python libraries use readthedocs.io, their documentation is sparse, very shallow and the API reference is left undocumented, that I'm usually displeased whenever I see that website and colour scheme. I know that I'm gonna be left wanting. Conversely, the Elixir documentation is so high quality that I'm put in a good mood whenever I land on their version of the documentation browser (generated by ExDoc).

It's not the fault of readthedocs per se, I guess it's what most projects that want a barebones documentation site and call it a day use.

I think you read the chart wrong. At least you write "around the same or more" when it is much more. The amount the source lists for "government/compulsory" spending is $9054. That is a quarter more than the _total_ of the next biggest spender (Switzerland at $7138).

Perhaps their business model is not good?

Acting like companies deserve underpaid labor (let's not even get into the combination of that with an expectation of fealty + coming to the office every day to avoid managers being lonely) gets us to situations where people out of college with shitty negotiation skills end up losing 5 years of their life in miserable situations.

Unless you are a business owner, having everyone be paid reasonably is a net win, but it's also the right thing to do, and shows a minimum of respect to people doing work.
