Could it have been someone working with a car repossession group?
If a car drove through with a human driver who was either looking for a specific plate/vehicle they thought might be parked in your lot, or a human who was simply following bad directions, no one would bat an eye or call it "trespassing".

The problem is that politicians and the law fail to recognize that there's importance in the quantitative difference between one human doing something, like reading a license plate, and a computer doing the same thing a billion times.
My experience is that the people for whom learning a bit if SQL is a bridge too far, will also not invest time into learning some complex automation software. And these no/low code software all look like complicated electrical diagrams when you are doing real life workflows.

The category of people who are ready to invest time in understanding those tools are the people who might as well spend the same time or less learning SQL and maybe a bit of python or VBA.

As for business users doing code, I wish there were more, and I think younger users tend to be a bit more technical, but it's a light breeze, not a big change.
That's an interesting perspective. No-code tools to enable businesspeople to write good specs.
My post is built from two data points, my experience of driving and seeing as many trucks on the road as ever (and an increasing number of newer models, which are bigger and have distinctive grills), and extended family members explicitly griping about gas prices as they drove their trucks.

Your post has snark.

Which is more valuable?
If you want to program and play around a bit with the Pell equation (and learn more than you'd ever think about continued fractions for square roots - it's magic), here's a Project Euler problem involving it:

>In my view, in a healthy organization, the meeting itself should be a point of collaboration. Otherwise it's a waste of time.

Everyone publicly and mutually agreeing to support a decision IS valuable collaboration even if they all had 1-on-1 discussions on that idea before hand. Meetings are pretty horrible venues to actually discuss an idea in depth for many reasons. However if you don't all publicly agree on the same idea then the chance for backstabbing politics increases significantly. In essence it's a trust but verify approach.
Please don't rage-delete comments. It renders the discussion unreadable because the context is gone.

Believe me, I understand how impossibly frustrating it can be to represent a minority/contrarian view in an internet discussion on an inflammatory topic, but turning over the chessboard and storming off—which is what deleting comments and leaving spiteful remnants in their place amounts to—is not a positive contribution.

I can't find any reference to something like "combine the scores of new submissions of the same URL to the first submission's score" though. I guess that's either new information or incorrect.

I think that falls into the "noticed through observation" bucket. I'm relatively sure that it is correct, as I've noticed that behavior myself. But, I have no official standing here and I could be totally wrong. But that sure seems to be what happens in my experience.
Everything you said would happen, I saw happpen. I literally witnessed this.

I started my career at a company that sold a graphical programming product. It's exactly the typical "no code" thing described elsewhere. Nodes and edges to implement Ifs, Loops, actions, subroutine calls, etc.

We sold this to customers but also had an in house professional services type department that used it. Those folks were indeed at a whole nother level with that tool and knew all kinds of tricks and had developed special scripts to transform the XML formatted files that the "programs" were saved in, etc. They had developed a long slew of best practices to try to tame some of the problems of the tool.

Then someone added a "execute arbitrary javascript" action and it was open season on everything...

I think when I left someone was working on a linter!
It's as if the standards of what is and what is not acceptable are slowly shifting...
Not in my experience, no. The newer trucks have very distinctive grills, and I've seen more and more of them over the past year.

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups.
If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting
new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures.
If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

We should add to the off-topic section: If it would feature prominently in a tabloid.
A warrant would not have been needed for this arrest.
Robot dogs could soon patrol US Space Force's station
For me this is just as ridiculous as everything else being discussed.. why can anyone ever find out about an arrest that leads nowhere? Why all this dancing around? Because not even the police databases are secure! No one has trustworthy computers or communication technology and it is causing waaay too much drama.
Something I can't figure out is how it infers the length in this example:

let array = core::array::from_fn(|i| i);
assert_eq!(array, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);

Is it because of the assert_eq? Can it use the length of the second argument to infer the length all the way back up in the from_fn call?
They do all the physical work, janitor, maintenance, cooking, cleaning, etc. Everything that isn't sitting at a desk typing on a keyboard.
I went back to the dumb approach of setting up keyword filters (SpamHound on iOS, which allows a Regex-similar pattern).

You’d be surprised at how much spam gets blocked by a simple “http.*” filter. Of course, I occasionally do miss messages but it’s pretty easy to check the spam folder when I’m expecting a 2FA code or something. Known contacts are never blocked so it’s never really that much of an issue.

Check out the message contents you’re receiving. I bet you’ll find a similar pattern, maybe “(vote|election).*” would suffice.
iAPX 432's security features would be welcome in the computing world we have today, I wonder to what extent its failures doomed similar functionality in Intel?

At least there is CHERI now but we still hardly seem close to having hardware enforced capabilities-grade security in high perfomance server kit.
I'd like a copy of the following :

Keep in mind that I'm using "OS" here loosely; it's a bare-metal program that exposes a subset of Linux syscalls so that the interpreter (which itself is compiled for Linux) can run in the extremely specific context that we target. It's still early days so I won't spend too much time shilling it, but all the code is open source and lives under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation: https://enarx.dev/
You come off as saying the arrest is warranted but in a way so as to suggest you aren't saying so.
Comments is clearly for configs, not for server responses, but even if someone did respond with json5, as the previous post said, you don't have to tokenize the json5, you can convert it to json first (since I would imagine you don't need comments). I can imagine how you feel about graphql.

I appreciate your positive framing.

I definitely do have hidden or not-so-hidden strengths, but they are all fairly abstract and rooted in emotionality. For example, I've often been told I have a strong ability to empathize, to understand the emotional journey of a UX, identify moments of friction & delight.

But I lack the structure to self-catalyze. I've tried for a year now to build something on my own and inevitably flounder due to an ignorant and scatterbrained approach to priorities, process, decision-making, etc, despite attempts to self-teach.
"Examples of the opposite" being people who don't get arrested?
Yes, but it's the monitor arms that Uplift sells, so perhaps they've put work into keeping things balanced. I also have a third party arm that holds my laptop. It probably helps that it's solid wood (walnut butcher block, 1.5" thick) as opposed to the common MDF/particle board and laminate.
The FTC is going to be limited in what it can do unless Congress passes legislation specifically allowing it to regulate this. Due to a recent SCOTUS decision, federal regulators are allowed much less leeway in how they can interpret their powers as granted by congress.

This is in principle a good thing, appointed bureaucrats shouldn't be allowed to create law by fiat. However it means Congress actually has to do their damn job and stop delegating their powers through lazy and broad legislation. Good luck with that.
By putting it on the chip, it can be dynamic rather than static. The microcode can know a lot more of what's going on than the compiler can.

Perhaps, but that's speculation too.
1. Find a good deck online on either AnkiWeb (https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/), Reddit, or via a web search. For example, https://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseLanguage/comments/7mjmjc/bes... is excellent for learning Simplified Chinese and Mandarin.

2. Set aside a dedicated block of time to drill every day, about 30 minutes to an hour is sufficient. Try to build it into your day, for example I drill Anki flashcards while commuting to work on the bus.

3. Just keep persisting at it and turn it into a habit. Create a trigger to remind yourself to perform the habit every day (eg: maybe a reminder post-it or poster on your wall), and reward yourself (maybe with a snack like some chocolates or juice) when you complete the 30 minutes of drilling to make you look forward to the next session.

4. Recognize that forgetting is natural, but there are ways to minimize the losses. I like the idea of paraphrasing key concepts into Evergreen Notes (https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes) based on what I've read, and occasionally reviewing those.

5. Eventually create your own Anki decks, using tools mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32397162 like https://github.com/kerrickstaley/genanki or https://github.com/ankicommunity/ankidown/

Visual Illusion Trick Your Brain into Thinking Static Black Hole Is Expanding
There are private companies that roll around looking for cars scheduled for repossesion, and will call in their tow trucks if one is found. You'll also see cops do this in some of the "more affordable" motel parking lots, as these tend to attract the types with open warrants.
To answer your questions briefly:

Communications Act (Malicious Communications) is the law he broke, it covers sending "offensive" messages online.

Policing and Crime Act (PACE) is where you need to look for arrest/interview/search procedures. Very different to the US.

Hate symbols usually come under Mal Comms (online), or Public Order.

There is no constitutional (or any, really) guarantee of free speech in the UK.
That's neat. You get this via mouseover hints in either VS'22 or Resharper, but I'd like to see it native in VS2022 too.
That's not what OP was arguing, though. OP appeared to be suggesting it was ok to arrest someone on flimsy grounds, because they were participating in a meme promoted by an organization with harmful ideology. I'm not sure what other motive we can ascribe to that post, really.
What we really need is robust treatments that either slow down the ageing process or reverse it to some extent. There is some promising research relating to both slowing and reversing. The current approach where we treat age related disease as individual things will never really work out in the long term

One thing right now that is available is rapamycin which basically improves health span and lifespan for every animal it is given, won't make you live to 150 but will probably reduce risk of disease.

I am considering starting rapamycin myself as my mom was diagnosed with ALS few months ago (doesn't seem strictly genetic as her mom and dad lived relatively long and didn't get that disease), so I might have some risk genes..

World where people live to 90-100 and where increasing amount have dementia or other age related disease won't be a nice place

They've sent me a few to the e-mail address I registered my Facebook account with. They got my job title correct despite my account being "galvanically" isolated from exactly everything relating to my work, incl. not associating with colleagues. LinkedIn is likely the indirect source.
Yes, you have it right.
Wow that is stupid. That is way too much assumption.
Yes it is and according to what you linked to "According to Lokeshwar, potential causes for these declines could be increased obesity/BMI, assay variations, diet/phytoestrogens, declined exercise and physical activity, fat percentage, marijuana use, and environmental toxins."

Tucker Carlson is using it as a very thin excuse to basically make a series about how men need to be more like a particular cultural concept of men.
Here's the trailer for "The End of Men" nowhere does it mention that study or a testosterone drop. Maybe the show itself touches on that but in my opinion that would only be so people like you could justify what is basically a propaganda video for right wing masculine culture.

I'm probably mixing different things up, but I thought the non-lexical lifetime changes made the borrow checker more permissive in the sense that some code that the compiler would reject using the lexical borrow checker, would be allowed using the non-lexical borrow checker.

If this is so, how are they maintaining edition compatibility? It seems like you could write code for the 2015 edition that would build with the new compiler, but not an older (2015 edition compliant) compiler.
Structural editors are not a new idea. They have well-known drawbacks wrt. supporting incremental editing of program text, which as a rule requires "passing through" invalid representations. This actually makes them quite unintuitive for such tasks.

OTOH, modern editing tools, such as "language servers", provide most of the advantages without the aforementioned issues.
> What is your position? That tools primarily intended to break any law are inherently suspect and it's good to ban them?

I think a tool's primary use is important. And that's nuanced, and subjective.

Let's take guns for example. Guns are regulated in most western countries, some more heavily than others. Gun advocates often cite needing them to hunt animals or to defend themselves from predatory animals in rural environments. Sometimes they also cite using them to defend themselves against other humans. Mostly though guns seem to be used for self harm and to shoot others.

In a more tyrannical setting, guns could be used for revolution and to overthrow oppressors. I assume you're OK with things like banning assault rifles for civilian use in your country even though that use case is a possibility elsewhere in the world?

When Tornado Cash's primary uses are speculation, tax evasion, and money laundering in a country like the US -- I don't disagree that it should be banned or heavily regulated even if in some specific setting it could possibly be used for other purposes.

A lot of folks in the west very loudly cite Tornado Cash (and other things in the crypto space) as a means for oppressed peoples to bypass government control. I wonder if they're not similar to the people who want to own an AK-47 because they sometimes like to hunt ducks or want to protect themselves from home invasions.

Even if some of the things he says are dumb or exaggerated, he still makes more sense than the "progressive" delusion that we've been bombarded with for the last 5 years.

In the section “Don't Underestimate the Ruthless Competitiveness of Your Peers”, I had a totally different takeaway. I think it’s entirely possible that a set which kills among comedians may fall flat to a general audience.
I've written no code professionally in Rust, but a fair amount of personal project code. I've written C++ both professionally and as a hobby. At least for hobby use, comparing the two, Rust is wonderful.

- It's easy to set up cross compilation.

- Cargo makes dependencies easy.

- Building is almost always just `cargo build` except for very exceptional projects, same with `cargo test`.

- `cargo fmt` makes formatting easy and built in.

- Clippy gives actually useful lints and can automate most refactorings.

- Rust-analyzer is fast to index decently large projects, works with almost all language features (even complex ones like proc macros), and has some real time-saver automation built in.

Working with the borrow checker can feel like a pain, but in many cases, feels like a fun puzzle (writing hobby code, I'm not under time pressure, so it's 'solve a puzzle' and not 'oh fuck deadline coming up').

But really, the tooling of the language is where it shines.
Do you think that people aren't porting Linux to phones the second they come out is because they don't have the time, skills or desire? It's because they have to reverse engineer everything.
You can dig up examples where the police did do this. I bet that is harder.
Personally, I use Rust as a "better C++".

Ways in which it is better:

* A decent package manager

* "Safe by default" (you have to use 'unsafe' to turn off the safety features), unlike C++ which is "unsafe by default" (v[i] is undefined behaviour if i is out of bounds, for all of C arrays, std::arrays and std::vectors).

* Really easy to do multithreading -- I had reached the point with C and C++ where I was of the opinion it is "almost impossible" to write large thread-safe programs, and all communication should be between processes with pipes, wherever reasonable. In Rust I again feel I can safely and productively write multi-threaded code.

The things Rust doesn't let you do (throw pointers around everywhere) can get a little annoying, but I find the extra safety increases my productivity enough that it's worth the tradeoff.
Depends on the definition of "better", but bill collectors, maybe.
And you'd miss a lot of the cars. By hanging them off the sides of the car, they can scan both sides of the aisle in one pass. They also need to be weather proofed, hence the housings.

Haha, the first comment is of me throwing shade on HN, oh geez. Now I'm curious to read the old HN thread that I thought was so disappointing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4331855
> dark matter allows you to add various magical elements to explain up whatever is missing in other models.

It’s not like physicists are looking for every little possibility to be fanciful. Here’s the irony — The “DAMA” experiment has been claiming to have discovered dark matter particles for years, but most physicists don’t trust that the experiment is understood well enough to call it a victory. The process of “adding particles” is an extremely rigorous one (the various detailed checks and stringent requirements involved are unsexy content ignored by pop science). Adding particles is how we discovered the Higgs boson, the weak nuclear force carriers and the internal structure of the proton. It is a battle tested process that underpins the tremendous success of particle physics in the twentieth century.

> To me as a lay-man, this seems like you are indeed ignoring non-dark matter solutions

Seems like there is a massive disconnect with how one actually “does research”. Let’s say I completely agree with you and want to come up with alternative models, and I’ve read the literature — but don’t know how to solve the hairy outstanding problems. What do I actually do when I get up and go to work tomorrow morning? :-P

Once you involve the cloud, things get exponentially more complicated. Your `fwrite(foobar)` has ramifications that no human can legitimately understand.

That's what I meant with . I am happy to write `fwrite(foobar)` and get the project going, but it's not simple, and there might be very valid reasons to not do just `fwrite(foobar)`. If you don't want me to even mention these, then I'm out.

Otherwise, I will fully engage. I'm really a pragmatist when it comes to getting stuff done. Anything getting shipped is better than nothing getting shipped, and I will maintain it for as long as it needs to.
Especially with car manufacturers putting huge screens in the middle of the dashboard and eliminating knobs and buttons. If anyone gave a shit about safety, screens, including phones, should be disabled while the car is not in Park.
> Whether or not an arrest is warranted is another debate, but the it's important to highlight the context of the group who made the image to understand their motivations behind creating the image, and what it implies about people who share the image.

Is it really? Someone retweeted something, that's controversial but not illegal and got arrested. The context does not clarify anything but divides.

I don't want to be arrested for pro-trans tweets either, but if people get arrested for speaking their minds that's the pathway to fascism.
