> It's a good step, but you'll have to excuse me if I have a hard time believing that the people who have voted for Nancy Pelosi every two years since before I was born actually will learn their lesson.

This is what I don't get. There are these politicians, across the board that don't seem to be well liked within their own party, but they win their election everytime. Either their state must really love them, or voting must be some sort of ritual where people just mark what they always have and go home.

And look, I get it. CA doesn't want a Republican and KY doesn't want a Democrat. Great, that doesn't mean you have to elect the same person every damn time.

Ah, I was wondering why you post about IHP on most Haskell threads here and I just noticed it is a commercial product. You should probably disclose that this is an advertisement if it is permitted at all.
They do complain about those, Germany desperately needs a connector from north (off-shore windparks) to the south (Bavarian industry), but it is not getting done because people don't like the idea of seeing the practical necessities that make their modern lives possible.
Great memories with this library, one of my all time favs.

It is fast? no.

But it had a fantastic mission: extracting data from malformed HTML.

Might be less common now but back then (~10+ years ago) it was still rampant. Many if not most parsers would barf on any deviation from the standard, leaving you to hand-roll regex solutions and ugly corner cases.

BS covered a LOT of these cases without forcing you to write terrible code. It mostly just worked, with a reasonable API, and stellar, well-written, example-laden docs.
> what is the story from their side of things?

That crime is going down (but see grand-grand-grand parent's point about less prosecutions).

That these policies actually help the homeless or reduces crime(initial evidence does not look good).

That voters voting for recall are brain-washed by misinformation from Republicans (?!. Ah yes the classic misinformation bogeyman misleading the poor gullible voters).
One of the thousand of so times this came up recently, I tried to look up actual data and found property crime rates had increased quite a bit in San Francisco in the last decade and were higher than comparable cities, but every other kind of crime was a normal or lower-than-normal rate and hadn't changed much. Of course, that doesn't mean anything if the real problem is behaviors pissing off residents aren't classified as crimes.

It is far from impossible to quantify quality of life using measures other than crime rates, but I'm not sure who still does that. I haven't personally been in San Francisco since 2007, but I do remember back then that world rankings of livable cities consistently included San Francisco as the only American city in the global top ten, so to drop from that lofty position to this perception of a post-apocalyptic hellhole is quite a contrast.

It does seem to me that the nature of the complaints don't seem unique to San Francisco. I've had my catalytic converter sawed off twice in the last five years, my car ransacked once, power tools taken from my garage, and gigantic homeless encampments are all over the place around me, in good old Dallas. My work office that I visit quarterly is in downtown San Antonio, and they have the same issues, too. Streets are overloaded with people wearing rags who haven't showered in ten years wandering out into the street and yelling at ghosts, sleeping in the doorways you have to step over to get into the building.

From the outside, it seems to me like residents of San Francisco are mostly pissed off that they're paying so much to live there, yet still experiencing all of the problems normally associated with poor neighborhoods in cities. Even that isn't unique to San Francisco, though, as city centers have becoming increasingly hip places to live. My neighborhood is not poor, and I don't think downtown San Antonio is poor, but rapidly increasing property values don't just eliminate all of the poor people if they live on the street. It only eliminates the low end of the buyer market, not extreme poverty.
That is such a freaking joke.

Personal automobiles are the worse possible thing for the environment. End cars. Let's get real public transit back. Hyperloop is a lie to kill existing public transit efforts. So many people have documented that so many things have issues. Yes electric cars are good, but not much better than Plugin Hybrids.
Google ships all these too, either in Android or Google Photos. The UI is sometimes less smooth than Apple's, but ML is competitive. (Which I think is your point: Apple does have competitive ML.)
That’s a shame. I kinda liked edge.

I don’t use Chrome. Use mainly Firefox. But I might not even bother having chrome installed anymore.
bs4 is able to parse some malformed documents that libxml2 chokes on.

For these cases it can be useful to do the reverse, and use the BeautifulSoup HTML parser as an alternative parser backend for the lxml package: https://lxml.de/elementsoup.html
Government institutions (the tax man mostly) are trying their best to limit the flow of anonymous transactions. Withdrawing a relatively large amount of cash (>=$1500) requires you to sign a form stating your intended purpose with the cash. Depositing a large amount of cash (>$750) requires documentation on how you came by this cash.

Crypto is nowhere as anonymous as everybody appears to believe. Every single transaction is on the blockchain, and can be traced from acquisition to being spent. Considering that all European exchanges are now obliged to report their customer details to the authorities (under the KYC of AMLD-V EU directive), it becomes a relatively simple matter to trace your money to crypto transactions.

Fortunately, Europe isn’t hit as hard with the customer profiling as the US is, and the EU is rather intent on protecting privacy, so your data purchase history is available only to youths relevant parties.

In case of MobilePay, the service provider can of course see the details, but all my bank sees is a text I’ve input when sending money, or what the sender has input. It still gets reported to the tax authorities.
The south has almost a third of the viable area for wind power generation. The only reason why the expansion there is slow are ideological opposition and NIMBYism.
What’s not nice to look at is sick dying polar bears or penguins clinging on to a small piece of melting icecap…

The pylons, no one complains because they’re used to them. No kid will grow up complaining about turbines.
a choice between umatrix/origin and chrome, simple decision for me

another misstep by google/abc, following from youtube.
I wrote some (what would now be called "CRUD") applications back in the 80s in BASIC and later in C, and the answer is arrays and linear searches. 80s BASIC wasn't able to store more than, say, 100-500 user records, so linear searching was fine, even in an interpreted language.

If you wanted to get really fancy you might have used something like JETSAM which gave you a single key-value db in a file.
The problem with lists like this is that any possibly convincing feature tends to get copied after a while.

For instance, jails are nice -> docker, podman,... exist. Might be better or worse for your use case, but similar enough that it is not worth switching for.

Or ZFS is nice -> ZFS is still nice and also available on linux. Btrfs also exists.

Boot environments are nice -> Snapper does this and more and things like NixOS or Fedora Silverblue go much further still.

Popular package is in the repos of ... -> It is in any OS's repo.

Package manager is good -> Even Windows now includes apt-... er, winget https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/win...

Kdeconnect offers nice integration of your phones, tablets and pcs -> Apple copies it, MS copies it; gsconnect, mconnect....

Combine that with the fact that switching always involves some uncomfortable adjustment and any "killer feature" becomes -> Eh, now I will have to wait a bit until it is available on the OS I am comfortable with.
Upgrading the HDD to an SSD is the easiest bump in speed you can get for an older laptop IMO. Now, SSDs are standard, but you can pump a lot of life into an older laptop with that simple swap.
If you have a signed NDA, it may cover disclosure of agreements such as employment contracts.
In London, there's this skyscraper with wind turbines on the top[0]. It was supposed to generate some of its energy from these, however due to the vibrations and noise it creates they were turned off.

I think OP more means social media, or other sites where html/css/js are directly useful on the platform.

The closest thing I can think of are games with scripting languages in their creative modes. (Like Minecraft, Overwatch, etc.)
Lightning is a decent cable technology from a form factor position, but it has several technology drawbacks. First each lightning device (including cables) have to pay a nontrivial royalty to apple bringing up the minimum cost of accessories. Secondly the standard is limited to relatively low power and data rates.

Notice also that nothing prevents apple from additionally shipping MagSafe on their laptops, the device just needs to be usable with a type-C charger.
This is just my perspective, but it's gotten extremely bad. I was frequently traveling to SF 10-15 years ago, and crime and homelessness felt on par with the average American city. I enjoyed the area so much that 5 years ago I decided to move to SF proper, and lived in a few different neighborhoods in the city.

In the approximately 3 years I lived there I saw a dramatic decline in the safety and cleanliness of the city. It's a shame because SF has the potential to be a beautiful place to live, offering a lot of unique benefits. There are few cities you can live in that have the proximity to nature offered by SF, with the variability you find in the landscape of Wine Country as well.

Now, I avoid even traveling there. While it's anecdotal, I had too many close calls to bad situations where I or my wife was followed, harassed, assaulted, etc. I have too many friends and colleagues who have also been assaulted or robbed. I really hope SF is able to enact policies that make sense, because the trend has only worsened.
If you were paid to write PR’s knowing full well that absolutely 0 of them would get merged, and you’d make the same money whether you wrote any or not, what would you do?
Before this becomes another metoo thread: I think Google is pushing the boundaries testing how far they can go. For many of us this was the thin red line, but probably the society at large hasn't noticed - or maybe they don't care. My predictions is that Google continues to make small steps in the same direction, with these small steps totaling to something that would cause a public outcry if implemented all at once.
Note that continental mode of corporate governance uses two boards, executive board and supervisory board, and employees have guaranteed seats just on supervisory board, which generally have less power than US-style single board.
Graduate students have like four good years of research time. If your work is scooped it will almost guarantee low citation counts but very likely it means that the work cannot be published at all. A year down the drain.

If you want a faculty position after graduation you've got one shot to create a strong research profile. Getting scooped once can close career doors forever.

People also often don't understand what grad students do. They do all of the research. 100% of it. PIs are funding the lab and providing mentorship. The first authors on major groundbreaking papers are usually grad students.
I developed such a language, about a decade ago; though it was also happy to run on multiple cores locally. Alas, the gap between an operational language core and a useful development tool was too large for one person to bridge in their free time, and there is no business model for programming languages.
Climate justice demands no less.
Github pages is a fantastic way to get a static blog up and running. I use Zola instead of Jekyll to have a little more control over the look/feel/etc and have an automatic RSS feed.
https://glitch.com/ is kind of like this. Back in the 90s, however, things were a lot more decentralized. Now people make something in Minecraft or make a video for TikTok when they want to have a little creative expression. Creativity has been co-opted by corps.
> Having to pay back the tax

But, if you never really go to prison for not paying taxes because there isn't really a direct victim, why would you bother paying the back taxes or the fines levied? Like, if all that'll happen is they'll assess more fines, and the penalty for not paying the fines is they'll assess more fines, why bother paying any at all?
Lossless was not a focus point for AVIF. There JPEG XL wins hands down, with something like 50 % difference. Also, AVIF can only do up to 12 bit lossless, whereas photography workflows benefit from 14+ bits.

On lossy JPEG XL wins by 17%: https://twitter.com/jonsneyers/status/1532771586381688833

"Overall for lossy, for the same visual quality, JPEG XL is ~17% smaller than AVIF, which is ~17% smaller than WebP, which is ~17% smaller than JPEG."
I dunno, why do you think it looks like they don't have plans for other sources of energy?
Europe has enough wind potential to power all of the world, strictly energy speaking. Combined with solar, storage, a bit of biomass, and robust transmission, wind is a reasonable generator to go big on (and balances well with solar generation). Green ammonia is probably also a great place to invest to store energy longer term and for transport, considering Europe spinning up planning and building LNG terminals recently.

> What really drives quality up is a big, hardass customer.

What drives up quality is cost of defects to the manufacturer. Cost battlegrounds change over time. Currently, some of the big ones are in electronic parts elimination and reliability.

> It's rare to see a transistor opened up today to see what went wrong.

Literally everyone cuts open their electronics nowadays. You don't see it because there's no longer any need to complain about it.
I don't have that stats in front of me, but I'd be surprised if they have more wealth inequity than blue state urban areas. Those are still the places in the country where the middle class can afford a house.

But they certainly have drug and poverty problems too.
"just log in"?

How you do that after you use Apple Passkey and lose your phone? (and SIM)
Actually, 1000dppm (99.9% defective parts per million) is not acceptable except for hobbyists. Typical commercial manufacturing requires <100dpppm due to the number of components and cost of returns. This can be met quite reasonably with statistical sampling and process controls. Every single IC gets tested, it's just a question of how thoroughly and whether the control limits are set well. You need to do R&R studies, but the infrastructure/procedures are usually available to approach 6sigma (even if it's a bit hokey).

Where this is going a bit nuts is that that it's hard to make 100 gold contacts last for 1000 compression cycles at 1 dppm (better than 6 sigma!). That requires a lot of excess maintenance on the test infrastructure! That will be expensive... and your assembly connectors/SMT is likely orders of magnitude higher defect rate than 10dppb so it won't improve final assembly performance.

Also, I think you need another 9 on that 99.99999% to hit 10ppb and realistically 2, if you want to have an acceptable yield rate, and 3 on the test equipment since they are used 10k times every day.

Do you have to pay import/customs fee only when you bring good from Paraguay? What is about other countries? Is there a special regulation or a law?
Just used this to scrap game guides from GameFAQs. Pretty easy to use, would recommend for quick projects.
I understand abstractly what you're saying, but I don't understand concretely.

Do you have a way of fix the homelessness issues in San Francisco that the city has overlooked because it was too hard? I've thought about the problem a lot, I never came up with obvious solutions that didn't obviously end up with removing liberties from minorities or homeless (might fly in other parts of the country/state but not sf, until recently).
Downvoting folks aren't understanding the context.

Understandable is in the Indian context. Generally a lot of things in India are slow/delayed so it's pretty common for people to want everything "fast" (which is probably "regular speed" in the US etc). I agree the content is hardly urgent, but for an Indian everything is urgent.
I draw the line, myself, at permanently maiming people for petty crime, so the Saudi method of handling thieves is off the table. Birching or caning was used successfully in anglophone countries for years.

Alternatively, something distasteful and uncomfortable, like being dressed in an orange jumpsuit, shackled to other ne'r-do-wells, and forcd to police the side of a highway for litter for 12 hours a day for a month would also work, if it could be applied with dispatch.

Heck, I know testing, cloud, CI/CD, devops, etc. and have been doing it for 9 years.

And I still don't feel I can adequately call my self an engineer.

I feel like I can't call myself an engineer cause while I'm a decent doer who executes well, I am not the one coming up with high level plans of architecture. I've never been put on the spot.
I wish we had the same system in France too...
I didn't know about it, sounds really interesting. A museum about the atrocities is the Stasi museum[0]. I found it very striking, it has a "look at what these criminals did" attitude.

Interesting even for an Eastern German. Having grown up in a small village I guess the further one gets from the cities the more the different subcultures merge because the groups wouldn't be big enough on their own.

For instance in my little home village it was mostly Heavies vs Poppers, where the latter mainly consisted of Depeche Mode and Cure fans (so a lot of overlap with Goths). I'm surprised about the 'neutral' description of Skins, the East German skinhead scene was clearly neo-fascist, at least in the late 80's / early 90's.
BGP hijacking ?
The incentive here is for them (or their local governments whom they lobbied on the minimum distance rules, which are quite excessive in some cases) to look for alternatives if they insist on NIMBY.

It will only escalate if they don't meet goals and it is telegraphed in advance.
As long as you're not messing with memory directly (i.e. dynamic allocation), the OS will clean up after your program exits.
There really aren't any other major sources for wind apart from natural gas, at least in Europe. Wind output tends to drop massively in the coldest bits of winter (when demand is highest), and solar output is also very low there. It is also insanely expensive to store energy in batteries for multiple days of low solar/wind output.
In SF it can be quite cold too for outside. But drug addicts get ~800$ a month and easy access to drugs for being there.
That's not the meaning in English, however.
Is there a physical address on the invoice?

Write a paper check (or get a moneyorder / cashiers check), attach a copy of the invoice and a quick letter explaining that their system won't let you pay any other way, then go to the post office, send the whole thing by certified mail and be done with it.
That changes nothing.
Finland refused to pay.

Most of the European companies adopted the new scheme within their current contracts, so it was a technical thing. Russia just needed to be paid in currency that can not be stolen by some lunatic government.
It does. Here is someone who lists all of the .horse domains just in case you would want such a thing [0]

But Who Tells Them What to Sing? (2021)
It's an incentive to accept wind farms in places where they can go within the regulations. Essentially it's a threat - if people reject wind farms far away from them, then they might end up with wind farms much closer.

Ask HN: Did Nat Kill FTP?
I tried recently to set up a FTP server on GCP (using vsftpd), and I couldn't get it work due to the server being behind a NAT and returning its internal IP address.

Considering that NAT are everywhere, is it still possible to run a FTP server these days without running constantly into that kind of issues? Or did NAT effectively kill FTP?
With a Blockchain, you're still relying on your legal system and the people running the nodes. The Blockchain doesn't make the law go away.
Read somewhere that a litre of milk in northern Europe costs around a kW/h in energy to produce. Whatever the exact number, it should open your eyes to the importance of energy prices on all other prices. It's not "just" transports.

>because good contracts would be impossible to write and impossible to maintain

Airline pilots have notoriously complicated union contracts, but it seems to work for them.

Edit: An example...~500 pages: https://crewroom.alpa.org/ual/DesktopModules/ViewDocument.as...

Police unions might be a good counter example for your idea that it might get too complicated. There's no contract clauses there related to the quality of their work, crime rates, etc.

I’m surprised why Opera doesn’t come up more often in HN discussions. Sure it is not open source like Firefox but it is pretty performant and a competitor to Chrome which we all agree is a good thing.
At some point, we'll just cut power to Bavaria and see how long their candle reserves last. Then the north-south line will happen. :-D
It's clearly not th e only solution though, nuclear can and is providing that.
This does not just apply to SF. The same problems exist in many left leaning cities like PDX.

The far left cannot solve these problems (nor can the far right) because they are inherently reactionary. We need more middle-ground moderates in charge.
I think eBPF could be interesting in you wanted to do something more advanced, like continuous profiling or things like that (I know Datadog uses eBPF for some of their tracing features), but it would be significantly more complex and would require an engineering time and cost that we do not have in my team. It's true that the proposed approach is quite manual and old-school, but I think it is also one of its biggest advantages: it is dead simple to understand and adapt to your use case.
This is gold actually. I have an obsidian note where I store all my templates to serve this purpose!
