This is false. It’s not illegal to discuss your salary. Discussing a classified government contract is illegal.

Absolute false analogy.
How would we feel about Chinese weapons located in Tijuana? Even if they couldn't threaten a takeover of USA, they could still level Los Angeles with five minutes' notice. Eastern Ukraine similarly threatens Moscow.

Americans where I live couldn't care less what happens in Ukraine. I have never seen a Ukrainian flag in the flesh, although they're on TV incessantly. If I drive around the area, I see USA flags, some state flags, a lot of confederate flags, and even a few "Brandon" flags. My own hope for Ukraine is peace at any cost. This isn't some glorious republic; it has consistently led Europe in the "most corrupt" lists and the history it chooses to emphasize features Nazi collaboration. Split it up into a part that can get along with Russia and a part that will eventually be absorbed by Poland. It will be a win for the West if the latter part contains Odessa.
Show HN: Redirect clicks using a formula
Part of my day job requires me to review a report monthly. The URL for July's report looks something like this:

fancyreport.com?from=2022-07-01&to=2022-07-31

Typing this URL manually every month was just enough pain for me to put up a simple script on somedomainiown.com/magic that redirected me to the report for the current month by automatically filling in the "from" and "to" values in the URL. This way, I could bookmark one link and always open the latest report with one click.

At some point, I figured I should put this behind a UI so that I could share it with my colleagues and maybe HN too. A couple of weeks of hacking, and here we are with an MVP the little imposter inside me finally accepted to post online.

P.S. the "formule" implementation gets the job done for me, but is pretty rudimentary. Would love to know if you have a specific use case that'd benefit from other parameters or a more advanced formula system.
Well, maybe if the vaccine doesn't prevent spreading - there is no need to mandate it.

If you want the vaccine - get it.
You shouldn't loose your job over it - as they were doing in Italy.

There is a whole other discussion to be had about the effectiveness of the vaccine. My body, my choice ?
In the first countries where Omicron spread, such as South Africa, it was first detected in young people where vaccination was very low. And just like Delta or Alpha it started to diverge before mass vaccination was a thing. The article you linked even suggests Omicron may have developed in mice, which are obviously not vaccinated, so the mutations would not be driven by selective pressure against vaccination.

Evading vaccination could very well be why it was so fast to spread in mostly-vaccinated populations in Europe and North America, which happened "faster than any previous versions" as the (very interesting!) article you linked says at the very beginning, but the variant was more fit anyway.
Traditionally, space agencies have used CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) protocols for applications such as interoperability with ISS and Mars rovers and orbiters. Newer organizations use more contemporary protocols used by large communities for terrestrial applications to avoid engineering new solutions just for space.

The early major variants Alpha and Delta were both more infectious and at least as deadly if not more so.

We fluked it with Omicron.
> But when you call it "anonymous branching" you lay bare that the only advantage is that you don't need to name your work branch

Sure, I'm only responding to what you were saying about "There is no such thing; considering one special branch as 'not a branch'". There is such a thing in that there is no branch involved in the detached HEAD state. It's not some kind of Git misunderstanding. I think you might be referring to trunk-based development and always building off of the remote main branch instead of having your own local copy, which is unrelated to being "branchless", for the reasons you stated.

For many people (particularly those on Github!), a branchless workflow won't help, so you're free to not use it. In my opinion, it's a workflow that is better compatible than stock Git with code review tools like Gerrit and Phabricator.

I personally argue that anonymous branching is useful even in some branch-based workflows. Mainly, if Git branches are so lightweight to use, why do we also use the command `git stash`, instead of just always creating a new branch for our temporary work? One benefit of anonymous branching is that it consolidates these workflows in a convenient way. Some people don't stash changes or feel that branching in those cases is heavyweight, so anonymous branching doesn't help them at all.

> then pushing the individual commits in the current branch to the remote under any relevant branch names

If I'm understanding correctly, every time you rebase the longest branch, for each commit in the branch, you would manually run e.g. `git push <commit> origin:my-branch-name`? That seems like it would take a lot of time to me. Is the tacit assumption here that you don't have a lot of commits in your branch, so this doesn't take a lot of time?
Don't IOMMU's prevent that these days?
Oh, yeah! The 'shared recipe' feature - or even just 'Let me easily export ALL of my recipes' (for my own records or to share with a spouse or someone else that I'm cooking/preparing meals with) would be awesome!

While I appreciate the data privacy stance of Cronometer immensely there are a few 'collaborative use' features that I wish I could opt into on Cronometer like the shared recipe feature that you mention. Shared exercise info would be great too! Let's say we go on a bike ride together: I can kick over the Exercise activity to your Cronometer account too. Great for parents inputting their kids info too. Not a parent but if I wanted to log my kids' nutrient intake and make sure that they were getting X minutes of sustained bike-riding, swimming, whatever each week it would be great to do some fitness activities together and then kick the activity log over to the kids profile. So as not to cause eating disorders or whatnot I obviously wouldn't make kids log their food intake. My grandmother had me do that as a (mildly chubby) child and go to TOPS with her and it was ... weird.
Anecdotally as well, we've had two that I can think of in the last two years (both were specific to Windows).
As far as I am aware though (and it depends on their contract/rules etc of course) that is completely fine and allowed?

Salaries are only secret if the person receiving it wants it to be. People should be able to say how much they earn without retribution. There is literally nothing wrong with it and it doesn't mean that they are going to broadcast actual company secrets.

If its a big deal for the employer then they should have put it in their contract/NDA and made that clear prior to employing them (but as I understand it that is illegal in a lot of places for good reason).

Caliber's maintainer has similarly pithy remarks about Amazon if you ever check the MobileRead forums.

Amazon should officially be supporting EPUB as the send-to-Kindle option now, so that might no longer be necessary. You might still have an issue with missing covers, though.
Retrofitting is a completely different story, I agree.
Counterpoint… there is too much information now.

There is just too much to keep in a human brain. So, don’t, or, try and make an effort to separate the wheat from the chaff and know where it’s ok to give some up. No, your kids will probably not know as much about an origami trick, but they will know more about fusion or quantum computing or nanobots than you ever will. That doesn’t make them disadvantaged or you better. They might know more about Octaflexagons than you.

I’m sure my grand father that worked in a foundry making cast iron pipe would be horrified to discover I don’t know a lot about that process, but I could easily look up more than he ever knew.

So, this largely seems like a “kids these days” type of rant.

If you like that you should check out this (also free) documentary[0] covering Cuba's transformation towards a local farm network. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 Cuba was basically forced to undergo an artificial "peak oil" all at once (something we'll all undergo soon) brought on by the incredible sanctions of Western nations. There was obviously mass famines and starvation. But in order to survive Cubans had to completely reinvent their agricultural system

Today Cuba is one of only 18 countries with a Global Hunger Index under 5.[1] Permaculturists around the world travel to Cuba to learn for the incredible amount of knowledge that has built up there in the past 2-3 decades.

Yes, nudging is an extremely well established concept, all the way from theory to policy - there's a Nobel (memorial) prize for the theory, and the UK government explicitly established a 'nudge unit' (the Behavioural Insights Team) to turn it into policy.

That is in fact what we do in IEEE 754 floating point! We have +0 and -0; 1/+0 = +∞ and 1/-0 = -∞. However, this means that IEEE 754 floating point violates substitutability, the most basic property of equality, because +0 == -0 but in some cases f(+0) ≠ f(-0).

It strikes me more as cynical than partisan, FWIW.
Interesting argument. Wolves and dogs are behaviorally almost identical. Domestic cats and wild cats are as well. If you've ever been around feral cats or stray dogs, you know to stay well clear of them, as they revert to wild behavior pretty quickly. Their domestic performances depend on their living experience being carefully controlled by humans.

One dream is that I'll live long enough to see humans actually getting cybernetic enhancements and how much of a fuss that's gonna make on the gaming industry.

In the same tune, I genuinely do want to see what Olympic Games could become if anything they consider "cheating" would be allowed - I honestly want to see what humans are actually capable of (though, of course, I won't be happy if people would ruin themselves over merely a silly goal of "winning"). I believe that - unlike most arms races in history (except the Space Race, I guess) - this kind of stuff is going to be actually beneficial for humanity.

I'm not a smart guy, and probably there are some issues that I entirely miss (or maybe even not register as they don't match my beliefs), but that's a honest opinion. And yeah, I'm a sucker for science fiction.
Simply disgusting to see someone trying to find excuses for usage of outright malware with arguments like "users shouldn't care anyway".
Famously, Göring scored 138 and another prominent Nazi, Arthur Seyß-Inquart, 141 on their IQ tests when incarcerated in Nuremberg. Both were sentenced to death later.

That said, their case shows the principle that high-IQ psychopathic people tend not to end up among common criminals. They find other, legal or "legal" (as in "it was legal in Nazi Germany") ways to satisfy their urges.

From this video demo'ing a real DMA cheating device -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIbkt6Rl8FA -- the DMA is read, but the input to the computer is automated "movements" from a device masquerading as a USB mouse i.e. no DMA/memory writing.
They had no organisation, clear goal, or strategy. Real attempted coups - or "uprisings" if you're sympathetic - are much different.

They involve much larger and more organised masses of people, police being neutralised (either they support the coup, or asked to stand down, or pro-coup paramilitaries have rendered them a non-issue) and close coordination with the leader they are attempting to install. Aid by a more powerful outside force is also very, very common.

So I think attempted coup is a very grandiose term for a bunch of amateurs who were allowed to wander in, posed for photos, stole a podium, and put their feet on a desk. They didn't have the support of police, military, civil service, media, the government, or any foreign government.
Yes me too exactly! What brought back waves of nostalgia in particular were the pictures of robots storing variables in the boxes. I remember these were so fascinating to read, bringing the code alive.

QML is something else completely, but bundled, part now of Qt. It's not suitable for desktop apps, at least not in the way we want them to be. Also it has the most horrid way of adding code in there, that's like how the fuck this actually works... No, please no. And I wish Qt stayed away from there.

Our use of Qt, is pretty much what Autodesk does with Maya, or the VFXPlatform community (but in our case it's our level editor - Radiant, written in it - it used to be MFC, but changed since)
It's my observation that even uncontroversial posts are likely to receive an initial wave of rapid downvotes, followed by a slow trickle of upvotes that may even last 2 or 3 days.

I don't pretend I can explain it, but in my mind it is better to accept it and to simply upvote if you think it has been voted down inappropriately.
You know, the entirety of economics is doomed because frankly it is just there to justify and explain wealth inequality rather than actually maximize economy efficiency. The laffer curve is the go to example people bring up. Completely made up.
There is no way in hell you can run a modern fab using on-site power anymore. Maybe in the 80s/90s, but now you got things like EUV light sources that require megawatt-class power delivery all on their own. Just stepping back 1 generation to DUV and you are "only" talking ~100kW per machine, which is still insane.

What would probably happen is a special grid arrangement. If you are going to build eleven of these things, entire power plants, switchyards and transmission lines will need to be constructed ahead of time. They will likely need to run isolated from the broader grid in some manner. I cannot imagine Samsung executive management agreeing to this many factories (even with subsidies) unless some guarantee could be made WRT power delivery.
Are the wolves vegetarian, then?

Python is actually a pretty bad language for novice coders, the programming model is way too complicated and hard to get a feel for. I'm not sure how people can even manage to "learn to code" via Python alone.

It would probably be prudent to strip comments before measuring the code sizes:

I did not check all files, but noticed that the simple rust code consists of about 60% comments (in terms of bytes), mostly due to a verbose blurb. It also spends about 15% of the non-comment bytes on printing nicer error messages, which is an interesting choice for a micro-benchmark. The simple C and FORTH versions similarly have a lot of comments.

Meanwhile a lot of the other files have very few or no comments.
Personally I left a big city for a nice hydro-geologically stable place in the French Alps, a place honestly NOT chosen by some special calculus but simply looking for a fresh enough in summer, cheap and served enough enlarging myself out of Sophia-Antipolis (a kind-of EU Silicon Valley).

I found locally a bonus for summer: a significant thermal delta with no more (so far) than 15-16℃ (27-29℉) at night/early morning and a bit too much (25-30℃/45-54℉) in the hottest summer late afternoon, witch happen to be very good for running aircon on P.V.

The area is not that "far from civility", recently fibered with 2Gbps/800Mbps connections, few local services, few relatively near other services etc. Drought is already and seems to be more and more an issue, not much for humans here but surely for agriculture. Fire risk is significant BUT not exactly where I built my new home (simply because trees are there en mass but distant enough), being new (5 years) is well insulated, with almost any contemporary tech for heating/cooling and hot water. Not enough personal drinking water saved at home but... Essentially while not exactly chosen for climate change I choose to build new because I smell a bad future with not-that-stable-anymore services (electricity, water etc) and social unrest while still being in a normal life mode, not hermiting in some isolated place like certain preppers dream.

I do not design anything "for doomsday scenarios", no "anti-atomic bunkers", hurricane-proof concrete walls over a seismically isolated base, gun-loaded turrets etc. Just a modern home in a hopefully good enough place near enough many urbanized land but still a bit far to be relatively in peace and nature. If all goes well I'm still in a wonderful place, if all goes wrong I'm still in a good enough middle-ground.

In my views cities are modern jails under development since most, at least in EU, being formed of tall and dense buildings can't simply evolve, much people live there and so eat, but no food is or can be produced there, much dependencies on city-wide infra can't be backed up or avoided, very few can surveil and stop many more people (while it's the opposite in the countryside).

UNFORTUNATELY energy relative autarchy is essentially not feasible (yes I can waste much money in battery storage, but it's a nonsense given the expected battery lifespan, so I choose a small battery backup enough to pass 24h on battery for just essential loads, no heating/cooling) nor food relative autarchy since I can't produce enough food for myself even if I decide to became a farmer.

However consider a thing: when around you homes goes dark and you have electricity, when people starve and you have food you are still not ok, if things goes really bad we are a civility, we can't survive alone. The Clausewitzian "best you can" is just a way to soften a hard landing if that happen without ruining your life waiting for it.
