Yes current politicians want that, yet the French people (as usual) mostly do not care. They have other business to pursue.

There is currently a huge gap between politicians and people in France, it reminds me of the gap there were between Parisian French revolutionaries and the backward provincials (like my ancestors in Brittany) during the French revolution. Tens of thousands people died because of this cultural schism. Let's it not happen again.

A very informative post. I think a lot of the young people hip to Nelson miss this point. I'm no longer a, "free and open everything" kind of person but Nelson is far more of a BioShock character than you'd think. He's not a baby boomer in any sense; he's a child of Welles, Hawks, and Howard Hughes. I could see him being old enough not to freak out over Birth Of A Nation.

God bless that crazy bastard. We used to make Americans so well.
how would you propose setting up a double-blind trial for a psychedelic?
At least a few days, yes, it's impossible.

But more importantly, it's impossible to manage a process that you don't know how to do yourself. The closest you can get is on a client-seller relationship.
> yet many games still persist with these unacceptably hacky half measures.

Unfortunately what you're suggesting is a hacky half measure.

From a servers perspective there is no difference between a client with a shitty connection and a client who is pretending they have a shitty connection to cheat. The reality is that servers trust clients for some cases (and verifies that those things are possible) because it provides a better experience for a large number of players.

> No brittle assumptions about client environment resulting in potential breakages or false bans.

Let's be honest, server side anticheat is no less susceptible to this than client side. If you're banning on heuristics there's going to be false bans at some point, and you are making assumptions about a perfect client environment with this approach.

> No opportunity for the client to reverse engineer or instrument the binary to patch out the cheat detection methods.

Except you can analyse the ban rates based on how "aggressive" your cheat is across all your players and adjust the effectiveness to keep it under that threshold. If we're going to make the claim that cheaters can always adapt to client side cheats, we can make the same claim for server side cheats.

Samsung might want the bill dead because it is in relatively better shape.

In this case, however, samsung has specifically said they don't have plans to build at this time, and only one fab they applied for has a start build date prior to 2029 (and online dates are in the 203x timeframe).
This is technically true, however when you do that they simply convert the epub to mobi on the backend, which is even worse.
You obviously have no idea how diverse the Netherlands is. A monoculture it is not.

If the government of the Netherlands was dropped in the states they would go back to the Netherlands because it is nicer there. But the principles of government might have a lot to offer.
There are worse places just in Texas - there's a chemical refinery locus to the east side of Houston near the port and bigger one near the border with Louisiana with so many flares at night it reminds one of Mad Max a bit, though there are various plants scattered along the gulf coast as well, were a half dozen that I knew of in the mostly rural county I grew up in to the south of Houston.
I find it interesting that everyone is shitting on Musk, and no one is blaming Nicole Shanahan, Brin's former wife.

It can't be because of a general hatred towards tech CEOs, as Nicole Shanahan herself is the CEO of ClearAccessIP, a "patent management solutions" company. [1]

First of all congratulations for completing the Paris Brest Paris. I had a much smaller problem with a new bike. I compressed the tendon of my left thumb on a 6 hours ride (imagine a 89 hours one. ) It got too weak to open a clothespin, no chance to shift a MTB derailleur. It took one month to fully recover. I permanently solved it by raising the handlebar to transfer some load to the back. My question: do you know if some long distance riders compromise the setup of their bikes to lower the chances of those kind of physical problems?
You can even bring them into the modern world with Mini vMac… by taking a screenshot of it!
I just turned it back on and it's at 82% and was last fully charged 5 days ago. It's been on for 2hrs and 44min since then according to the battery screen.

It says it'll last until about 22:45 and that it's currently 05:10. (I apparently haven't set the time!)

I typically read for 30-60 minutes at night, I'd say, so those numbers make sense to me. Seems like about 20 hours.

> My suspicion is that if it provides really interesting functionality, it will have enough competition that you will be able to choose from.

I'm thinking of scenarios where you don't specifically want the app, nor does it offer any particularly interesting functionality - it's just a platform lock-in effect.

As a trivial instance, you can't install Fortnite on Windows machines without going through the Epic Store. Yet, the value of Fortnite isn't how the game plays, but the skins & community - things that cannot be replicated by another app.
Yes, there are tons of these bugs and tons of PoCs. However, in real life, nobody bothers to exploit them because there’s very little to gain by doing so.
From someone reading with a Kobo device:

* Have you considered putting the books onto the official store? It would make it much smoother to get books on the device. You could charge a small fee to pay for the effort, I’d pay the extra to support the project and avoid the hassle of doing an upload. I just saw above you now do bulk downloads, which will help also.

* Although your covers are beautiful, they only appear in a small corner of the screen for the Kobo devices I’ve used, even using the Kepub format, is that a known issue?

And also to thank you for the effort. This project plays a really important role and has been a source of pleasure for many of my friends and family.
At this point seeing mask usage e.g. outdoors on a hiking trail is a little disturbing, because at this point people are thinking they are fighting the good fight but are now on the other side of the evidence (which says you are pretty safe outdoors or in a big room or while merely interacting briefly in passing with people, as one does with strangers in public). I wonder what the messaging will be given that this supposedly "scientifically minded" mask wearing subset of the population is no longer listening to the science.

I hope this doesn't lead to weakened immunity overall in the population. If you wear a mask every time you go out into the world, that doesn't give you much of a chance to build up acquired immunity to all the other bugs that are out there. There are stories from the early 1900s of native americans coming out of the woods and joining western society. They of course have spent decades in isolation versus just two years, but that's enough for them to end up perennially sick and in poor health when they were actually integrated into western society, and eventually die young of common disease. A lack of acquired immunity is what killed Ishi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishi

It's a fantastic idea, and the reason I own a console. The extra advantage of consoles is that both I and the developers know that the other players on my platform are all on locked down hardware so measures like this are unnecessary for everyone.
I remember some discussion about that a while back on HN. The TL;DR is a) he does say that and b) he would say that, since lzip is effectively a competitor to xz.

That said, I've been using pixz (which is compatible with xz but can do parallel decompression and a few other things) for many years on many dozens of terabytes of compressed data and have never had any problems.
Jeez...How many women does this guy juggle at the same time? I admire Musk's entrepreneurial/innovative prowess, but nothing about his personal life. I guess this is what happens when wealth and power gets to one's head.
'Social sciences as Sorcery' indeed.
It seems to have stopped being a thing in the US in the `90's, for whatever reason. I recall walking to and from school as a 1st grader, although everyone was doing it which made everyone inherently more likely to reach their destination.

If I was in charge, I would set the residential speed limits to 20mph and have the Police enforce those speed limits 24/7.
> and doesn't necessarily help if there's a need to go away and make significant changes based on the outcomes of discussions.

See, I disagree, because this is absolutely the place where it helps the most—you can now go away and keep working on the same task without having to context switch to anything else or remember where you were or what you were working on. So you're never in a state where you're blocked and can't work on your ticket, and you don't have anything else to do or have to pick up another ticket and start learning about a whole completely separate problem. (And yes, definitely everything still needs to be written down, it's important to walk away knowing which changes you need to make, and why!)

> it might still be some time before your coworker has available time to participate in such a session, so it's still likely you'll need something else to work on in the mean time.

In teams I've worked on, the expectation is that an engineers highest priority is always unblocking another engineer, so this very rarely happened. Unless they had an interview to go to or some kind of meeting—and in that case, you could always just ping somebody else.

Obviously it's a style of work that relies really heavily on everyone sharing the same timezone and work hours, but it works really well to eliminate time lost to context switching and minimize the amount of time engineers spend blocked waiting on someone else.
github pull request review process, UI and the whole experience is very much the worst thing about github for me. there's literally one feature that I like (C-g, suggest a one-click committable change in a comment) and everything else is better in gerrit.
- the World Cubing Association speed cubing rules are designed to make competitions more interesting and fair for speedcubers and NOT for general public.

- the 3x3x3 without inspection used to be an official WCA event but was removed as it was considered a worse way to fairly judge competitor's skill.

- it isn't the fault of speedcubers that people interpret WCA records as something they aren't and then claim it's lying when they find out what they actually are

And the whole analysis of who is fastest with inspection by looking at the data from solves with inspection is kind of meaningless.

Max park has solved 434 cubes in one hour solving cubes with an average 8.2s per cube inspection included. I guess you'll find a 5 seconds solve somewhere in the video.

It's the part where it explains the "what" and "why" but skips the "how" under the assumption someone who knows how to develop just needs a hook to relate it to what they already know, and can then learn on their own.
They've been around for a while, and now I notice that their cover art format and ebook page layout look vaguely familiar ... :)
The things is there really isn't partisan bickering on both sides of this issue in the first place. There is non-partisan reality where poor planning by non-partisan entity predictable led to service disruption. Even the failure of legislators is itself a non-partisan failure. Ordinary incompetence.

The only partisan bickering is the attempt to incorrectly blame renewables for the lack of capacity when in fact planned downtime, ordinary logistical failures, and failure to winterize are in fact to blame.

Everybody ought to have expected them to need that much power. Not every day and not every winter but everyone ought to have expected another bad winter to come round because they had bad winters in 1957 1960 1973 1985 2015 2017 2021. This includes 3 years out of the last 6.

They weren't prepared because they were short sighted, greedy, and stupid not because solar took so much of the profits and not because insufficient capacity had been built out for lack of such profits. Capacity existed and it sat unused or broke when it was most needed.
I started working like this in the summer of 2017 so I'm right at the 5 year mark with this setup (I actually need to get a new device and DO's prices have remained the same - I think they've actually gotten cheaper and I'm on a more expensive plan - $5 vs now they have a $4 option).

Due to my client work, I need an online test server so I'd be paying for a test VPS either way.

Being able to open my Chromebook and tmux into any project in about ~15 seconds provides enormous productivity gains for me. Not sure if I mentioned this previously, but I'm a freelance developer and sometimes juggling 6-8 clients at a time so being able to pull up any project at any time from any device with SSH access is very powerful for me.
I no longer remember who said that, but it was a woman who started taking testosterone for some medical reason. She said something like "wow, that was a change, suddenly I wanted to fight or fuck almost everyone I met".

The Web existed in 1992 (invented 1989) just not for you. Gopher also existed by then (1991) and you maybe see the problem: The real world gave people something usable long before Xanadu could even begin to get off the ground. The same thing happened with the Internet versus OSI: The Internet protocol suite rendered the OSI protocols mostly irrelevant to the point people now insist OSI is just a model and the protocols are never mentioned. Insisting that we all think in terms of a seven-layer model while using SMTP instead of X.400 for email is some delicate mix of funny and infuriating otherwise known only to the parents of small children.

Your admiration (or lack there of) for Musk is mostly manufactured by the media that wants you to engage with the article and care about it.

Just apply some critical thinking to this:

You have no idea if Sergei Brin is a good person or not in personal relationships

You have no idea if Anne Wojcicki is a good person or not in personal relationships

You have no idea what the dynamic of the relationship was. You have no idea how these people lead their personal lives. Anyone could be lying.

So most importantly, you should not care. If you want examples of personal character traits that are good or bad from which you can make decisions on in terms of who to listen to or not, you should take everything in isolation. People seem to think that just because someone does something good, he/she must also do the same level of good in EVERY aspect of their life. People don't work this way. You can have brilliant assholes, or nicest/kindest people that are completely clueless.

Do you have a better source? Nothing in the Wikipedia article mentions children being taken away, only child benefits being taken away. Maybe I missed it.
Huh? I don’t watch sports but Apple Original series are some of the best TV right now.
Being "aware of" a risk is not enough to make it disappear. It might not be enough to even mitigate it. Why would you think that?

Also, no, most drivers are obviously not aware of the dangers. Anyone on two wheels who wants to survive treats every car driver as a dangerous psychopath until proven otherwise.
I had Apple TV+ for a year for free and never saw anything appealing enough to get me to use it.
It's actually not a meaningful factor AT ALL. Where renewables failed it wasn't because the nature of the technology but because of failure to winterize.
There should be a reasonable age for criminal responsibility. Compare the different approaches of the British [1] who tried 10 year olds as adults and the Norwegians [2] who took a different approach. Which is more civilised? Which is more likely rehabilitate the offender?

Its always great to see Oblique Strategies pop up on hn.

I was exposed to Oblique Strategies early on in my career and, whenever I got 'stuck' on a task, I would look at them like oracle cards to get my mind moving.

At the time, you couldn't buy the cards directly as they were out of print. One of my fondest gifts was my wife making me a set of custom index cards for each one. Its still sitting on my desk and used today.

Love it!
If I were doing the benchmark, I would just run it on a VM with a single physical core. There are good reasons for comparing single threaded performance since it may not be necessary or desirable to scale that way. For example, suppose it's a wc API or something; limiting each request to a single thread can be better since you get fairer scheduling and less data sharing which is almost always better for multiprocessing. Even shared immutable data can cause problems since the CPU may not realize the data is actually immutable.

I agree GPUs would probably do well on this problem, though it depends on how expensive the memory copying to/from the GPU ends up being. However, if you are going for all our performance, it seems like you could use SIMD like memchr or something.
I'm suspicious whether they're still using MOBI on the backend, given that they sent me an email about it a few days ago when I tried to share a mobi file to my mother's Kindle. The email is below:

Dear Kindle Customer,

Thank you for using the Send to Kindle service to send personal documents to your Kindle library. We noticed that the following document(s), sent by you at HH:MM AM on Sun, Jul DD, 2022 GMT are in MOBI (.mobi, .azw) formats:
<<REDACTED>>

We wanted to let you know that starting August 2022, you’ll no longer be able to send MOBI (.mobi, .azw) files to your Kindle library. Any MOBI files already in your library will not be affected by this change. MOBI is an older file format and won’t support the newest Kindle features for documents. Any existing MOBI files you want to read with our most up-to-date features for documents will need to be re-sent in a compatible format.

Compatible formats now include EPUB (.epub), which you can send to your library using your Send to Kindle email address. We’ll also be adding EPUB support to the free Kindle app for iOS and Android devices and the Send to Kindle desktop app for PC and Mac.

If you have any questions, please visit our help page or contact our Customer Service team.

Regards,
Amazon Kindle Support

I would think they might be converting it to some other format? Otherwise, why yank the feature to send direct MOBIs anymore?

Interview with Greg Ziółkowski, one of the most important Gutenberg contributors
i got a major cognitive dissonance from your comment because stacking PRs is for me the way to get more time and attention from potential reviewers by making their units of work smaller; hopefully small enough to be easily mergable. this is a case of 'more is less' (within reason).
I agree, with the only exception to that (and then again it seemed to me most people discussing it simply pirated it) is Ted Lasso, which is quite popular in some niches (football(the one called soccer in the US) and Football Manager related subreddits for instance).
How many times did you take a task you have no idea of the timeframe, do some short research without completing it and was able to make a correct estimate?

If that happened even once, I would be interested to hear about it.
Then they should all quit their jobs and learn to code.

Being a journalist is supposed to be a hard job with a strict code of ethics, and journalists are supposed to police their own, coming hard exceptionally hard on lazy journalists.
Their summary csv listing all the studies reviewed is at https://osf.io/ubt9a

And boy am I struggling - I am amazed it's even possible to group all of these studies under the same umbrella unless that is "misc".

Claiming that how people choose to treat their cancer, portion sizes at restaurants, rural Kenyan maternal health and Dutch childrens vegetable choices are even in the same field seems - incredible.

Maybe I am agreeing with the study in a roundabout way. If all of these things are under the heading "nudge" then it is too broad a heading. It's probably impossible to say one way or another that nudging works because you can never unpick all the confounding factors. Did the Dutch children have a popular TV show about vegetables while the Kenya media ran months long articles about unsanitary hospital conditions?

With my cynical hat on Nudge is a way for politicians to try something even when the real fix is intractable. I don't oppose "do something positive" - Injust oppose abusing power, violence for political gain, and all the other reasons why we can agree on a nudge in the right direction but cannot agree on a structural fix in the right direction.

I guess if they worked then they would solve the problems without structural chnage and so would defeat the forces that benefit from the status quo. so yeah. it does not work.

looks like we will have to go back to the old politics and revolt.

People are allowed to have opinions. Accusing them of being merely dupes of the media is out of line, and a tactic which seeks to reject their ability to hold an opinion rather than engage with their opinion.

If you don't have an argument to express in good faith, simply move on with your day rather than slinging mud.
What? Ted Lasso is really popular. The Morning Show too. Coda won best picture. All three of those are pretty mainstream. Not Netflix show levels of mainstream but certainly not limited to the blogosphere.
