Even in extremely hierarchical organisations (such as the military) one can call for an assessment of someone to make sure the person is still fit for power.

Another option I’ve become very fond of is to criminalise lying when in power. The only excuse for lying on matters of public interest is national security. Any other lie or misrepresentation is a breach of trust and should disqualify the person from its position. We cannot afford to have public officials, elected or not, misrepresenting reality for their own agendas.

That's interesting, I wasn't aware. I had guessed the reason was that the lawyers looked at the journalist's background and writing, and both the defense and the prosecution concluded that he was more likely to be favorable to their own side, and that their arguments would not be harmed by having a persuasive domain expert on the jury.

edit: and as you suggest, I'm sure my opinion is impacted by high-profile mistrials I've seen in the media

> Somehow, is this an American only activity?

Perhaps for cast iron cookware, but this mania for detail isn't unusual, nor is it mainstream in the US. When reading HN we are simply more exposed to a population that self-selects for paying attention to detail in everything as it isn't a trait that is turned on at 9 and off at 5.

Think of it as the American equivalent to the subset of Japanese who really get into selvedge jeans. Or the subset of British who really get into high tea. Or Estonians who really get into saunas.

I just take it as a signal of what a wonderful, fractally rich, diverse world we are truly blessed to share with each other.
Congrats.

On a lighter note, another anecdote to validate the need for "Complain on HN as a service" (COHNaaS) (or COSMaaS for more generic service posting complaints to twitter/fb as well) which seems to be the only way to get any sort of customer service these days! ;)
> And occasionally I'll bump into someone when we're both in the office and be able to say whatever not looked over by AI.

At my present workplace, we have cameras with microphones. They also have installed spyware on laptops and desktops, to be able to see the screens of employees. They also go through mails and have a list of all web traffic done by employees.

I can only speak from personal experience and observations in my environment, but to me this statement sound like a dark, cynical joke.

There is plenty of scientists who would love to work on interesting things, are hired as scientists, but once they are hired, no one actually lets them work on scientific problems.

I like my heavy modern-non-stick pan (not quite as have as cast iron, but close). Most of the same benefits of even heating, but it's even easier to clean and also it's NBD if I discover that it's been sitting in a sink half full of water all day.
Salad's funny because it can mean anything from "lean chicken breast on lettuce and tomato with a tiny bit of balsamic and oil, 200 cal at 60% protein/20% carbs/20% fat" to "mayonnaise potato and bacon, 1000 cal at 10% protein/20%carbs/70% fat," and pretty much everywhere in between.

Not to nitpick what you're saying, anyone on HN who orders a salad is probably thinking about what's in it, but it's worth pointing out that the category is so broad that it can be deceptive for anyone who doesn't read the fine print. I read an article the other day complaining that a 324 cal Subway 6-inch didn't taste as good and wasn't as filling as a 685 cal Sweetgreen salad bowl.
"So using electricity instead of natural gas in your home is wasteful."
I (genuinely) wonder if what's true. I remember thinking the same things about electric car "how can burning fuel in a factory, storing it, send it thought line for kilometers and then store them in a car batteries and then feed the motor be more efficient than burning fuel directly in the motor" and was proven false.
Assuming we aldready have the electric lines of course. (I also dont know the ergy waste of packaging the gaz in usable bottle, move them and retrive them, I assume it's significant, maybe i'm wrong).

> But one thing moving collectors can do that non-moving ones can't is generational sequestration, that is, keeping the youngest cohort of Lisp values separated from older ones. This allows fast, intermediary cycles which only scan the "nursery" generation (the rationale being old objects are very likely to still be referenced). A non-moving collector must traverse the full set on each cycle since its allocations are interleaved. This is why Emacs bros are as eager to raise collection thresholds as motherboard jockeys are to overclock their BIOS.

That is untrue. TXR Lisp has a generational GC, over non-moving heaps. The way this works is incredible. Are you sitting down? Okay, here is a pen and sign the non-disclosure agreement. Good!

So, when baby objects are allocated, pointers to these objects are recorded in ... a nursery array. Not the objects themselves, just their pointers.

During a fast garbage collection cycle (in the sweep phase) we just have to sweep through this array to find the unreachable babies all in a bunch, rather than looking for them through all the heap blocks.

How? The larger the workforce is available, the cheaper it is to fill a role. Nobody outside of prisons, a tiny part of the economy, has it in their best interest to reduce the workforce.
> This is such a foolish law, environmentally speaking.

I concur. This is the same thing as blaming Climate Change on road vehicles when most of Climate Change is caused by energy, shipping, construction, concrete manufacture, glass making, etc. Mostly, Climate Change isn't caused by the People. It's business and industry causing it. IOW, greed causes Global Warming.

So they're focusing on a space that has negligible effect or no effect whatsoever on Climate Change, while there are massive methane and ethane leaks in Bakersfield and Aliso Canyon, the later of which dumped 100K tons of methane into the atmosphere. Pay no attention to most of the stupid oil rigs all over SoCal that are probably leaking mountains of methane and expressly not benefitting CA residents with fuel less than $8/gal.

Why does everything have to be so stupid?! Just shut it all down, every contributor, ban it all, bite the energy bullet now, and stop Climate Change before the dang Thermohaline breaks and Europe freezes over. Well, I guess that will stop it, but we'll all be half asleep and asphyxiating from so much CO2.
Getting paid to mechanically crank through compiler errors? Sounds okay actually!

Since you specifically mention Germany: professors are incredibly well paid in Germany and also enjoy high social status. Of course, a lot of them don't do any science, they are the CEO equivalent of an institute.

Vigilante action using drones.

If someone eliminated an entire gang in a simultaneous and public strike coinciding with a data dump of evidence proving the malfeasance of this gang and other LEO gangs I imagine the effect would be quite chilling on other LEO gangs and may spurn higher levels of LE to actually take care of the problem instead of ignoring it.

It's almost as if, in practice, JFK's idea worked for us.
it is impossible to surmise?

I mean there are two main arguments that people make, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were war crimes, and that they were completely justified.

Either one is arguable, the justifiable one has pretty solid data as to how many people were being killed in American bombing raids and how many people would have died in a land invasion of Japan. https://www.history.navy.mil/about-us/leadership/director/di...

I mean it is pretty much the opposite of impossible to surmise!
Given that there are lots of well known arguments on how the use of the atomic bombs were justified because of lives saved I find it a bit much to claim it was arguably one of the most barbaric acts of the war without even a nod towards hey, maybe it wasn't though, since the phrasing implies that hey everyone everywhere agrees it was pretty darn barbaric.

If you pay enough you will get a lot of focused, attentive, highly intelligent people. Accounting and law have never lacked for employees because they pay. Any industry that pays well enough will get good entry level people and if it continues to do well one day they’ll be that kind of person with 30 years of experience.
What are the open reqs for? SWE? DL? I think for some highly sought-after roles, you never fully freeze hiring. There are also several pipelines for hiring, and some may get shut-off while others remain. Diversity candidates may not see a hiring freeze, for instance.
Both sides usually get a set number of unchallengeable juror rejections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peremptory_challenge Beyond those a request to reject is effectively at the discretion of the judge as it's relatively rare for a juror to unequivocally meet the legal standards for mandatory disqualification. So attorneys have to be judicious and, especially when they're nearing the end of jury selection, will often accept a juror they might have preferred to reject.

It's not just the judge with which attorneys want to maintain good will. Both defense and prosecution will often cooperate to winnow down the jury pool before voir dire.
Other people can audit it. That gives you a fair amount more assurance than non-E2E.

If biology is a science, some part of psychology is science. But I agree with the idea that many things that are called psychology have little to do with science. The first coming to mind is psychoanalysis. As a psychology student, I'm absolutely shocked at how much credit is given to charlatans.
It's also true that the Jury isn't flying blind. The judge provides instructions as to how the law applies. It's of note a lot of appeals center around the judges instructions. And fundamental a jury places a hard limit on the states power. Which is to say a judge can and sometimes does limit it even further. Jury can say guilty on charge 4. Judge can say not guilty on charge 4.

Electric personal mobility devices are now more popular than mechanical bycicles and motorcycles.

Flaxseed oil is garbage, just use animal fat like your (great great) grandparents did. Cast iron was perfected when people cooked with lard and tallow, not vegetable oils, which are a 20th century invention.

Vegetable oil works ok too, but honestly use that trimmed fat from a beef roast or something, render it to liquid, and then season it the same way you did with vegetable oil and see how it compares.
Fun fact: The definition of a cathedral includes hosting or being associated with a particular bishop. So if it hasn’t done that I don’t think it’s really “cathedral”.
> The problem is that the entire ecosystem has completely shifted to async. There are almost no active / popular libraries related to network IO

The ecosystem, or the ecosystem where network IO is a thing? Surely that's just a corner of the Rust library ecosystem. I have almost never used network IO (databases, http,...) in 20 years of programming, and zero times in Rust.

There is a big (and might I say extremely comfortable) world of programming everything is on one machine, and things are CPU instead of IO bound.
> Amazon keeps plugging away

AWS or Lab126? AWS is a meat grinder and can't stop hiring or they'll run out of folks quickly due to the turnover(which may actually slow down in a bit if the remaining jobs market gets tight).

Personally, I think hiring in SW will remain stronger than other industries unless we see a profound recession, and even then it will be late in the cycle. Sure, non-profitable companies, reliant on debt to continue operations and lacking solid cash flow, will cut staff earlier as they have already begun to do. Sectors like Defense, which is starting a super-cycle, will likely hire strongly until things really grind to a halt in the economy.

I'm not a youtuber, but in similar position – I have a relatively interesting and stable dayjob and a exciting hobby I'd probably earn much more with if I'd really focus on this. It's almost daily routine for me to answer "why don't you turn this hobby into dayjob?" question.

At first I like it this way - it's all my jobs and roles which makes me really me. And focusing in one high income role only would have benefit in short term only. In long term I'd burn myself out and my family will suffer even in short term. This would be even more true if my income would depend on Youtube algorithm etc.
> reconnecting is a hassle when you nuke your entire friend list

Why? Deleting your account doesn't mean deleting your friend list backup. I've deleted my FB account many (6?) years ago, I am not missing it at all, but I still have screenshots of my friend list, if I felt urge to connect with these people it would be matter of few minutes to send them requests (it's not very extensive list, maybe 50 people).

Same reason why I didn't DELETE my LinkedIn account, but it's FROZEN with montly reminder from Linkedin.

At least the VPN ad, as much as I hate it, has an excuse - they're trying to make money. But this? What was the point? What is the user supposed to do with it? The browser is supposed to be a tool to let you browse the internet and otherwise remain invisible; people don't install browsers because they love browsers, they install them because they have shit to do on the web. If the browser intentionally gets in the way of that it's a flawed browser.

Firefox is the most user-hostile piece of open source software that I know of. Every few months it will find some new bullshit to nag you about. It's like an advertising platform - except ad platforms at least make money.
