>And if you think it's absurd for Russia to fear NATO, hearing NATO countries like Poland and my own Romania fearing a Russian invasion is truly comical.

It is clearly absurd for Russia to fear NATO because both parties have peacemakers aka nuclear weapons. The threat of nuclear retaliation keeps both in check. Any agreement on the NATO side to not use nuclear weapons is a defacto dissolution of NATO for countries that do not have nukes.

Russia has nothing to fear because NATO is a loyal customer of fossil fuels. There is no political, cultural, economical basis for attacking Russia. Really the only argument in favour of getting rid of Russia is to get rid of an enemy with nuclear weapons and that can't be done through conventional warfare, you're going to need to slowly let the economy crumble over decades until it loses nuclear capabilities. If those things are happening right now, you should be complaining about the man in charge e.g. Putin he ran the country to the ground. At best this could mean that Putin is a NATO puppet. The more we assume that NATO is a threat to Russia the more absurd the reasoning must become. If Putin is a NATO puppet then why does he start a war against a NATO aligned country (by that I mean Ukraine wants to join NATO)? We are now running into a irreconcilable contradiction. NATO could either bait Russia into war with Ukraine to justify expanding NATO or it could bait Russia into fighting a conventional war with the expectation that Russia loses the war and then hopefully loses its nuclear capabilities from the damage caused to the economy.

The problem with imagining that NATO is a threat is that it would be winning so hard, it is unbelievable how well things have been going for NATO as if they were orchestrating the entire thing from start to finish. I don't believe in such a coincidence that is effectively a conspiracy theory.

No, it is much easier. Russia doesn't consider NATO a threat which is why they believe they can get away with openly fighting a war in Ukraine. Western countries denied the war until the last minute. If anything they were too soft and lenient, maybe even submissive towards russian interests. The German Energiewende for example was a strategy that is utterly dependent on russian natural gas to get to 80% renewable production as gas is easier to throttle than coal and more flexible and emits less CO2. Putin is inflicting a lot of pain to Europe.

>hearing NATO countries like Poland and my own Romania fearing a Russian invasion is truly comical.

What? That just means NATO isn't a threat and Putin isn't a NATO puppet. I personally think that Putin being a NATO puppet is comical.
I was about to write pretty much the same thing. If I’m looking at detailed comparisons for your product, I’m already half sold and am looking for something specific. I’ve been doing this a lot with hospitality software in the past couple of years and I can’t relate to the lawn mower pattern at all.
Yes. More auth methods are on the way.
Well, IIRC the strings package for example is pretty much all functions, and so is fmt (IIRC). You might not consider these packages “well-designed” but they are certainly idiomatic. I don’t have the inclination to go trawling through the standard library for other examples, but I will say from experience, as a former Java developer and now a Go dev, I’ve sometimes found Go‘s approach confusing because it’s more function oriented than OO.

So I guess our experiences differ, which of course is fine, but I respectfully don’t concede the point. :-)
A reasonably priced upscale Linux laptop with open firmware, named after my favorite animal, and a mechanical keyboard. Wow I can't remember the last time some product came along that sounds so perfect for me. I really want to try this because there's no way this can't be awesome. It's like they read our minds and put everything we wanted but never imagined we'd get in one product.
Isn't that laptop produced by another company and just rebranded by system76?
No car with a radio?
I disagree. If I write a regexp, I have to think about what I am writing.

If I press a button and one is magically made for me, I can skip that step.

Skipping that step is bad.
Tesla is a tiny, tiny company. Tesla's market share is about 2.5%, or 14% when only looking at electric vehicles.

It's not even in the top 10 of car manufacturers by revenue. In fact it's only like 1/5th the size of the tenth place (Hyundai), or about 1/14th the size of the first place on that list (Volkswagen). It's not going move any car markets on its own, regardless of what goes on at Tesla.

So yeah, valuation is completely detached from (current) reality in this case, and Tesla is not a great example.

We could look at the biggest manufacturer instead, but I'm sure most people have heard of VW's union by now.

Yep, exactly that. Removes the appearance of a “fold” or “crease” at the surface transition, and makes the surface smooth and continuous.
> Go is a language that indeed misses several features... that help people perform their job better... It is a systemic issue with the language

The only language in which "misses several features" is not "systemic" is C++, and having every feature seems also to not really help anyone do their job better.

I'm sure your language of choice is perfect, though.

The whole argument is silly. People coded on 21" CRT and LCD monitors at 640×480 even, and yes ... they still live!

While higher resolutions look nicer, they provide no real value for a console. I've had 4x xterms on my desktop for 30+ years.

There is zero "extra space" with higher dpi. None.

One sad downside of things looking nicer, is the battery cost.

UHD vs HD means 4x the pixels, and a GPU rendering all those pixels. If you want a 14hr battery, and light weight, you won't be getting it with a UHD screen in 2022.
I refuse to use laptops. They are not ergonomic, and by not using them I free my mind from work in more circumstances, which I consider to be a good thing.

That's an interesting story, but irrelevant to this.

Twitter claims that < 5% of their "monetisable daily active users" (aka mDAU) zfd bots, where mDAU is a very specifically defined term, but broadly represents "people that Twitter thinks they can count when they sell advertising". Bots don't tend to buy things, so any bots counted in mDAU is a mistake that will piss off advertisers. (Which would be bad for Twitter, hence why the number matters.)

That there are a lot of bots on Twitter is well known, and clearly true. That Twitter happily leaves most of them alone to do their own thing as long as they don't abuse the service is also well known, and quite sensible.

The question is whether Twitter is good about flagging them as bots. You could have a million bots following you, but as long as Twitter has correctly noted them as bots and not counted them as mDAU, then exactly 0 count as part of the 5% bots.

Nobody outside of Twitter knows who they are counting as part of their mDAU, which means nobody can cross check their numbers.

I am referring to the United States. In my youth I traveled a great deal, especially around the Midwest and Boston-Washington DC corridor and nearby countryside, much of which has since been developed.

If you do a search for long term housing price data you will see that until the burst of inflation in the mid 1970s house prices were mostly flat. There was still inflation and wear, but the prices remained about where they were. In this environment where house prices are flat and houses wear out the asset becomes known for its depreciation.

The big thing about locales is their vulnerability. It really is the case that back then some undesirable people moving in to a community could start a cascade of people moving out. In that case prices went from flat to falling fast. If you really did pick a great locale then your reward was prices remaining flat.
You and OP know very well that Lunduke isn't a fascist by any sensible definition of the word.

It's a massive failure of neoliberal economics that this has occurred.
Mortgage prices, along with the cost of electricity are two massive handbrakes on economic growth and potential productivity. Yet somehow the banks and power companies have captured the public to make people think that paying a million dollars to the bank is a great way to live. It's just crazy.

I do fully agree with this normally! But Vue and a few others are so lightweight and well tested that I feel like I’m being crazy if I reimplement them. Of course YMMV, I do a lot more backend than frontend.
With modern laptops you can definitely get at least 10+ hours of work out of them but that wildly depends on how well the power curves are configured. If you're in luck the ones that Linux uses are good for your use case and you'll get great performance out of your laptop out of the box, if you're out of luck you'll have the tweak all kinds of settings to get more than five hours of battery life out of a laptop. The same is true for Windows, though manufacturers often provide better presets to Microsoft.

The biggest killer of my laptop's battery life is the dedicated GPU. The second that thing turns on (for example, when I attach an HDMI cable) I can feel the entire laptop heating up. Granted, this laptop is sold as a mobile workstation for about half the price of a Macbook Pro, so it's not really designed for battery life, but it's still quite annoying sometimes.

My previous laptop couldn't get more than two hours out of a charge, it's crazy how much more you can get even out of cheap laptops these days.
fair enough, but few things are easier to test than a regex.

Interest rate hikes enacted to fight inflation also raise a currency in the forex markets. (Because holding said currency gives you relatively better yield vs before the hike.)

A currency is a tool of the economy controllable by a central bank, not a competition (otherwise everyone would
d shoot for high deflation).
I think we need to start thinking more clearly about real estate as a combination of two things: structure (depreciating) and land.

Land behaves very different from other assets, because there is a finite amount of it, and it generates economic rent. And the increase in land value generally comes actions not of the owner, but of others, and of the government deciding what is allowed on the land (which happens at the local level, where a small cabal of landowners can exert great influence over a small number of officials making decisions).

And unlike speculation on, say, lumber futures, speculation on land by buying it and hoarding it is actually a huge economic damper. Real estate speculation, by holding a property underdeveloped until it can be sold for maximum profit, creates a land bubble because it withholds productive use of that finite resource that everybody is trying to get.

The best way to solve this would be to, IMHO, tax away all the economic rents that land generates. This removes the speculation, and ensures that every piece of property that is being underutilized will get transferred to someone who can better use it. This will keep housing prices down, because more houses will be built in high demand areas. It's a tax that would greatly improve economic efficiency, housing affordability, and our overall productivity. (It does need to be paired with zoning reform, though).

We also need to reinvigorate our construction sector's productivity, and reduce the shocks to it from the boom bust cycle, but that takes different policy.
Switzerland has no space for additional "simple roads". It would also be extremely difficult go get it approved, as it would pass through many municipalities. You would have hundreds of objections by residents and probably also a few referendums.
Oh? This is news to me. The media are all claiming he waived it, though I tended to doubt it. That he would waive it does seem kind of odd, since even waiving due diligence should not absolve a company from lying about its assets if found out.
Default behavior being for a single mouse button to paste and run (if it contains newlines) whatever's on the clipboard always seems dangerous to me. Beyond the accidental mistakes, I bet a website could catch a lot of people out about not checking in a text editor if it presented an innocuous command then swapped it out (with JS or tiny invisible text) for something nefarious when copied.

As someone that moderated a … pithy … community site, I am all too familiar with that type of complaint.

I would regularly get called a “nazi,” because I would step into catfights, and break them up, or “nip them in the bud.” Once you’ve been doing it a while, you learn to smell trouble brewing, and it can escalate rapidly.

Many folks chafe at restrictions, and they may actually be correct. They, themselves, may be entirely trustworthy; but others may not.

Generally, we’re all for rules and structure, as long as they apply to others (especially those with whom we disagree), but they shouldn’t apply to us.

I participate in HN, quite a bit. I basically avoid all other social media.

A big reason is the decorum, here. If it dissolves, then I will no longer participate.

I’ve been “danged” a few times. In some cases, I felt that it was not what I considered “reasonable,” but I accept the slaps anyway.

I appreciate what I assume is a good faith attempt to read this law, but the law isn't about giving the officers room to safely operate. If that were the case, it would not cite _recording the officers_ as the illegal action, it would just define a minimum perimeter of non-interference.

> However, giving officers room to do their job is not “very strange” nor is the premise “ridiculous.” Indeed, moving bystanders back to a reasonable distance might reduce tension and the likelihood of misbehavior

As the law is written and the language of the law specifically acting on _making a video recording_, and nothing else:

IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR A PERSON TO KNOWINGLY MAKE A VIDEO RECORDING
7 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY IF THE PERSON MAKING THE VIDEO RECORDING IS
8 WITHIN EIGHT FEET OF WHERE THE PERSON KNOWS OR REASONABLY SHOULD KNOW THAT
9 LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING,

https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/bills/HB2319S.pdf

If this was about officer safety to operate, then it would just define it as such, but it goes out of its way to specifically forbid recording.

So I can do the following actions which are certainly disruptive to the police making an arrest without violating this law:

- Stop for a smoke next to an officer (presuming I am in one of the allowed places for smoking)

- Make out with someone in a publicly respectable way

- Busking of any kind

- Rollerskate/Skateboard as long as I am practicing reasonable safety

I think it's not easily contestable that these actions are _more_ disruptive to the police being engaged in an arrest, but the law has no concern about them as the focus of the law is exclusively recording. Other laws regarding arrests don't mention such a distance or rights for the officers. The point here is not some desire to interfere with arrests, it's that the premise of your statement that it's about officer safety and ability to perform doesn't pass scrutiny against the text of the law and other situations that would fall under the same concern, which are allowed.

I don't see a justification for this law except to allow police the right to fine/jail people recording them.

Edit: It may be suggested that laws should be concise and specific, and to a point I agree. However, such conciseness also means that the specific action meant to be prevented is much more clear. So I must stress, that even if the law is concise, this means that the focus is not on safety for police and bystanders, but specifically on recording the police. I'm not sure there is a logical interpretation any other way to suggest it's about safety to operate, because if it is, then the law is no longer concise and specific, it requires fairly roundabout inference to reach the spirit of the law.
A lot of replies on twitter critique dang on moderating their comments. But in reality, I think this is a good thing. There are already enough near-total-free speech zones on the Internet (and we see how many of them turn out). It's far more personally interesting to me to see how a conversations in a space moderated above a certain threshold evolves.
But this seems like it could change if we lived in a world where everyone was a renter, rather than renters being a young, transient population that unsurprisingly doesn't vote.
Windows will run on nearly anything but these laptops are often Clevo designs with some mixed and matched parts to get Linux running nicely. The whole point of System76 is to provide Linux support, and that comes at a price.

I think it is because people pay many things per month already, so it is easier to see if it fits in your budget.
A similar principle works in UI design and industrial design. Rounded rectangles often just slap circle arcs on the corners—but that looks unnatural because you don't get such a shape if you bend a straight rod. In this approach the turning radius changes from infinity to a constant at one point, but the proper way is to change it gradually. Bezier curves accomplish that, I think.

Once you see this, you begin to notice it everywhere, just like with kerning. Apple used both ways on iPhones for rounding the phone's corners, iirc. Also I've been told that the principle applies to road turns: you don't want people to have to suddenly turn into the curve. (In related news, I wish a month of bad hiccups on Herman Tilke.)
> House prices were bounded by wages and were understood to be depreciating assets

The first part is still true. The thing is that it's bounded by a smaller and smaller percentage wages, and it's always the highest wages that determine this.

Housing prices being bound by seller capacity to pay means that there are not enough houses. If housing prices were determined by the cost of the houses, then we would have finally reached the point where there is adequate supply b

Thanks for all the posts! In the future, it might be helpful to use different (compatible) hardware for the backup server so it doesn't have the same issue that caused the main to fail, like how redundant aircraft systems are made by different teams.
So, what is supposed to be wrong with "the complete absence of free will"?

It reads like some sort of religious objection. If the data leads you there, you go there.

Not actually happened, but we were doing hazard and risk studies for a new mineral processing plant that had some very large gas fired equipment and due to the placement of adjacent units and possibility there could be a turnaround crew on the adjacent unit, the identified scenario was "operator sits on mouse, kills twenty people".

End result is we took the equipment in question out of the normal operator controls and put it in the safety system PLC to remove direct control by fat fingered (butts) of operators.
