True to HN form the proposed remedies tend to be technical in nature (though not necessarily wrong). This is another one of those problems best rectified with legal protections, not blog posts about how to disconnect the antennas. At the state level (in the US) it would be manageable to pass laws limiting or banning these practices, and that should be the first response. Of course backing that up with technical workarounds doesn’t hurt, either…
That feels really intuitive now, but less so for a student working their way up to it.

Even more basic is the 2.7 * 3.1 = 27 * 31 and what do I do with the decimal place question. Kids first intuition is often 83.7 because it was one from the right in the numbers they started with.

In that context pi * e exposes several different challenges to peoples mental models of multiplication. Granted most people are just going to plug it into a calculator and trust the answer without much thought, but such is life.
This. I went to get an inspection at a Valvoline place and the final part involved plugging their device to the car's computer. They were clear that it had nothing to do with the inspection, just "policy". I didn't push back since it was the last day for inspection,

Isn't that really sort of a turbocharged version of the hedonic treadmill? Anything that makes you feel good, if you do it enough, becomes the new level of 'normal' and you feel worse when you're not doing it. The better it makes you feel, the more intense the effect.

> Is multi-WAN without a static IPv6 assignment common?

Yes, it’s incredibly common in the small business/retail/food/shop business with fibre primary and cellular backup. These places don’t have the budget for BGP, but can afford an extra €$£20-50/month for a backup cellular circuit. They don’t need static IPs, they just need working outbound internet access. And they want failover to occur within a few seconds, not 30s or 2-3mins.
I appreciate your specifics, but the nature of the article here is not about the very detailed facts about an 'unearthing' but rather, how the information is being presented in the press.

Broadly, the story is 'kids killed in aboriginal genocide, bodies discovered all over the place' - which is not the case at all, it's much more complicated than that, and though there are surely newly discovered bodies here and there, most are not, and nobody was killed on purpose in some kind of genocidal act.

It's about 'popular narratives' vs. 'nuanced reality' - not so much 'a small detail vs. another small detail'.

Wayland will stop sucking when distros and Wayland developers stop dismissing these concerns by comparing them to people who didn't want to adopt systemd.

The worst part of this mindset is pointing to Xwayland. In my experience, Xwayland is more of a fig leaf than a real solution. Applications that need wayland-specific code and can't just use a newer version of GTK or SDL are usually apps that don't work with Xwayland anyway.

The second worst is pointing to Wayland-only apps as a replacement, when the previous apps were cross-platform, and not just X11 cross-platform, but Windows/Mac+Quartz/Linux+X11 cross-platform.

Wayland will stop sucking for people like you when distros and Wayland developers acknowledge that people like you have a point and real concerns, and that you are driven by something else than nostalgia and inertia. Until then, this discussion will always end with "you don't understand that Wayland is a much cleaner design than X11" and nothing will fundamentally change.
No, because the Nazis are universally reviled. A more apt comparison would be the countless foreign invasions and "regime changes" done by the US, which resulted in millions of direct deaths and god knows how much indirect damage, since that is something that is not universally reviled at all.

> I would be very impressed if [no cell service] negatively impacted

Tesla issued a press release years ago in which they reassured the public that their cars were used in connection-less or heavily-firewalled territories, and they still run.

While on the one hand those reassurances are sinister ("our new feature will not impair function"; "our electronic systems will not fail when driving in the desert" - which was false for some manufacturers), also note that - as one poster nearby notes - that the item seems to work properly at some point in time is not a warranty for the future.
I've got no strong opinions, but some trans people I'm friends with have struggled with feelings that no matter what they do, they will never be able to be happy with their bodies and how others see them. For some trans women I know, they tell me that femininity can feel like the plot of 1/x, getting closer and closer to the destination but never reaching it. One told me she wouldn't wish being trans on her worst enemy.

I'm not sure, but I think the DSM-5 classifies gender dysphoria as a disorder, one that's best treated by proving the resources for transition and social acceptance (if desired by the patient). But if the feeling were caused by some kind of chemical contaminant, and removing the contaminant caused feelings of gender dysphoria to go away, I think many people who would otherwise transition would prefer that route. So in that sense, if there really is a contaminant, it and our current lack of knowledge of it would be a disaster.
This won't happen if you are holding your breath, right.

I can’t imagine the confusion that would lead someone to conclude that “feminization of men” is a “right wing fear” that is perhaps “strongest” in the US? The US has among the loosest gender norms of any place in the world, including a number of European countries.

In the other countries you mentioned, like China, Kuwait, etc., traditional gender norms aren’t even “right wing”—because that would imply they’re even up for debate: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55926248
I was curious about this and it's apparently needed on Fly.io specifically, only to enable swap space. I assume this is due to a "quirk" of the nodejs runtime: many runtimes, not just node, tend to commit lots and lots of virtual address space for various (good) reasons to fulfill various roles, but don't necessarily need to back all that with physical memory. However, Linux will require swap space to back some of these commitments in practice (e.g. private memory mapped allocations will need to spill somewhere, so they can only be backed by swap, IIRC.) The node.js runtime almost certainly requires more virtual memory commitment than the default Fly.io runtime you pick (128Mb, I'd guess,) and it doesn't seem to provide swap out of the box, because...

Fly.io simply boots a Linux kernel, and the Docker image you give it is then treated if it was full filesystem for that "instance". Whatever is in the container image is all you get. Many container environments aren't going to have init-like frameworks to initialize swap before booting the application; in fact the container only having say, node.js, a few .js files, and starting that immediately after kernel boot is actually a pretty good startup time optimization. So if you need swap space, because the runtime makes anonymous memory commitments larger than physical memory -- the only way to guarantee that is in the application path itself, like done here. You could also do a shell script I guess. You'd have to do this in any similar low-memory environment, really, if the init system didn't.

Seems reasonable; nothing too suspicious or odd in the long run. It's nothing you're going to need outside of these new-fangled container-like environments (besides, in this case, the shell commands are easily auditable and not in any way user-controllable through user input, vastly reducing defect surface area.) Took 10 minutes to audit and figure out if you've had some previous exposure to runtime tuning; comments to explain this would have been nice, though...
From the WaPo article, linked to in the Gizmodo article:

Fisher, a mother of three, told paramedics she had not known she was pregnant. But she later admitted to a nurse that she had known about the pregnancy. And after she voluntarily surrendered her iPhone to police, investigators discovered that Fisher, a former police dispatcher, had searched for how to "buy Misopristol Abortion Pill Online" 10 days earlier.

While there is no evidence Fisher took the pills — court records indicate only that she "apparently" bought them — her search history helped prosecutors charge her with "killing her infant child," identified in the original indictment as "Baby Fisher."

We are not teaching our kids well if they are voluntarily helping police ruin their lives.
Yeah. Roam's dev team is what, 3-6 people? Obsidian was 2, now 3. Alloy.dev who make Amplenote have 20. All provide rich content editors and sync backends.

In Evernote's case, though, they did build things like inhouse OCR and a web clipper before the modern age (eg. Amplenote's OCR is just bought from Microsoft)
Just to add, nobody expects NP-complete or harder problems (like the MILP example) to get any speedup form quantum computers at all.
Hmm not positive, but I don’t think you could use this while simultaneously guaranteeing communication was E2EE.

If communication is mostly 1-1 you could directly connect peers without needing to send video / audio to a 3rd party.

Your link says:

> Many of these components can be recycled. Glass composes most of the weight of a solar panel (about 75 percent), and glass recycling is already a well-established industry. Other materials that are easily recyclable include the aluminum frame, copper wire, and plastic junction box.

Which is almost exactly what I said, with a few extra details and less sarcasm about "chemicals'.
I strongly disagree that it has no value.

If I interviewed a developer and they showed me an impressive website/application that was built without a framework, I would probably be more impressed than if they showed me one that was built with one. An understanding of the basic building blocks of the platform is always helpful, just like I would consider knowledge of lower-level programming and different programming paradigms a huge plus, compared to someone who's only ever done web.

I would, of course, also be sure to ask them about why starting from Adam & Eve is only rarely appropriate in a business context, how it's important to write code that others can pick up and understand. I expect anyone but the most junior candidate to understand that no tech stack is perfect, and that it's all about trade-offs, and that the tech is a means to an end. We don't hire people to love a tech stack (most of them are pretty unlovable, to be frank), we hire them to, as quickly as possible, get good software in front of paying users.

If you come in and demonstrate that you can take a thorough understanding of HTML, Javascript and CSS up to something resembling a dynamic, modern, responsive web application, and if we can have an intelligent discussion about what the frameworks and infrastructure bring to the table, you're obviously miles ahead of someone whose knowledge stops at copy-pasting React snippets and googling the WebPack error.

The rabbit hole is very deep. Our diet has changed (e.g. nutrient deficiencies, take one out, there is a knock-on effect), we have been exposed to more pollution which is absorbed through our skin and lungs, etc.

Lifestyle changes too.. a great example is the legislative mandate for flame retardants. I feel they are used excessively. Flame retardants don't just go away. If your cushion or whatever gets older and starts to break down slowly, you bet those dust particles include flame retardants and you breath it in.

That's interesting, which part of the US is it, and does anyone have hard evidence of that trend?

Only one datapoint, but: the outer half of my eyebrows fell out in 2018 just before my digestive issues flared up and I burned out in the spring of 2019. I wondered if maybe radiation from Fukushima affected my thyroid, since radiation levels in southern Idaho were 80 times normal before they quit reporting them.

I've since made a full recovery, but it took 3 years and endless research where it felt like I was losing my wits at times. I feel now that our health actually comes from our gut, so a multivitamin and a daily low-dose "stress" B vitamin, along with twice the water we think we need, and about 4 times the fiber (in the US at least) and greens mix or fresh leafy vegetables, is critical to maintain health in today's age where so much produce is lacking vitamins and minerals due to depleted soils.

I know several people who went through autoimmune issues around that time and now can no longer eat wheat without consequences like weight gain to severe GI distress. I feel like I developed lactose intolerance, so maybe a toxin got concentrated in milk. It's probably just middle age though.
How do you feel about people who think climate change is nothing to freak out about? I think empathy is called for here.

Russia is no where near, a near peer to the USA. Every thought it was then it failed to take a city that was within ~300km of its borders.

I do not feel it’s right to “Buy only whole-bean coffee roasted within the last few days.” - what should we do with coffee that was roasted weeks or even month ago? Throw it away? My mantra is to never throw away food - I will keep on drinking my coffee until I’m done, then I’ll move on to the next pack. Difference is so small that it’s not worth it.

The author is making a pedantic point. While I agree with the main thesis that Pulumi *as a tool* is declarative, one of the main selling features (and the first thing I think of with Pulumi) is how languages like Python can be used to write it.
Hence, the association of everyone besides the the author with Pulumi == imperative code.

The imperative vs declarative argument has been used to keep Pulumi out of several infra repos I have been responsible for. A ball of horrible Terraform is much better than a ball of terrible Node.js Pulumi.

E*Trade Dividend Bug

It is about multi request concurrency/parallelism.

If 20 users log in at the same time node and php would behave very differently.

Php would start 20 processes/threads and execute each in independently.

Node would dispatch 20 Request events to the event loop in the same process.

I will not argue the advantage of server-side async, but here it is clear that node needs it, as those 20 database queries will be executed from the same thread. Without async the 20th user would have 20 times as much latency as the first.

Almost nothing falls straight into a star/neutron star/black hole. For it to fall straight in, it would have to be moving exactly towards the location of the s/ns/bh, which is very unlikely (and won't happen for lots of matter at the same time).

Generally, matter that's near a large mass is circling in a disc; if it isn't, then the particles will collide with each other until they've averaged out their motion. So, relative to that large mass, there will be a whole lot of angular momentum in that matter. The angular momentum doesn't go away as it approaches the mass; if it manages to hit the mass then the angular momentum will be added to the mass.

Fun fact: it's hard for us to send an object to collide with our Sun, because you have to cancel out all the angular momentum that everything on Earth carries.
That's definitely not true. "Clear ownership" may still be shared ownership.
