They opened the gates because they didn't have enough forces to hold the gates. The videos where the gates were overrun instead show quite clearly what the alternative was. The gates were pushed over and police assaulted.

You won't find any evidence of a superior force opening the gates. One commonly shown video of an officer waving protestors past was actually him signalling for other officers to pull out of the crowd and the officers were clearly outnumbered in that situation.

I really have a hard time with comments like these. It's hard to believe it's just ignorance nearly two years later.
I would for sure want to know why a company was using svn or fossil for source control (just to take two examples)… there might be good reasons, but either one suggests that the company may not be making the right trade-offs.

(Nothing against fossil, it sounds lovely. But there needs to be a good reason to choose a niche product here.)
If you'd like to hear someone who can barely do long division† discuss this vulnerability with one of the leading isogeny cryptographer researchers and the world's most isogeny-enthusiastic cryptography engineer, have I got a podcast for you:

This is more a financial signal of a real estate debacle created by the federal government and federal reserve. Literally the only way to "save" the market will be back to low rates as soon the spending and money printing move through the system and thus cool inflation.
Yeah, while I have more friends who were hospitalized due to eating disorders than obesity, time will change that as we all age.

I do think the larger models are due to obesity actually being the normal now. Not natural, but totally normal. When this many people are obese we need to recognize that simply continuing to say "eat right, exercise more" while correct, isn't working. It isn't like people don't know. Short of authoritarian bans which will inevitably be the wrong diet for some individuals, and get influenced by agriculture and manufacturers, I have no idea what might work.

Above all else, TDD requires that... ... ...you like working that way.

I dunno why the TDD folks specifically get so zealot-y about it being the one-True Way™. I'm happy that they've found something that they like and are passionate about, but, damn... it seems like they missed the episode of Power Rangers where you learn that different people will like different things than you do, and that that's okay. They don't have to be "wrong" for you to still enjoy your TDD.

What about the other two dimensions? I used an ice cube containing 50ml of water, ie 50 grams. That specific number came from a quora answer where someone measured their own ice cube tray, but they seem to have giant ice cubes. Other sources mention numbers from 20ish ml to that 50ml upper bound, so I'd say the number I calculated is actually double a more reasonable answer.

So a middle sized ice cube required the same energy available in an off brand, cheap-o non-alkaline chemistry AA battery. Damn, that's way less of a convenient number.

Does macOS not allow you to have multiple keyboard layouts and switch between them with a shortcut?

On Linux I use fcitx to cycle through half a dozen keyboard layouts depending on which language I want to type in.
How the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Works
My comment might be unhelpful, but in the end I settled on using the computer keyboard and focusing on programming the music(via macros, scripts, etc) vs performing it. Because it's always there, there's nothing additional to plug in. Apart from that I have tried a number of weird things:

I have a toy Casio to bang on if I want to play keys, though that admittedly isn't MIDI(Yamaha's PSS-A50 is, though!)

From time to time I've considered getting a Critter & Guitari Organelle: also a complete instrument, with small keys in an interesting form factor. It's open enough and programmable enough to serve nearly any synth need.

I've considered repurposing ortholinear mechanical keyboards. It's mostly an issue of sheer DIY effort. There are some examples of putting velocity on standard layout keyboards...

I have not one but two exotic isomorphic MIDI layouts: the C-Thru Axis49(relatively speaking, portable enough to cram into a backpack, but a bit thick, fragile when dropped, and the manufacturer is long gone), and the Chromatone CT-319(full-sized, really nice build, cheesy built in sounds, manufacturer cleared stock for shipping price only). These layouts are wonderful for hands-on play with scale and harmony ideas, and can be experienced more cheaply with touchscreen apps, though I've never found an app in this category that I'm totally pleased with.

It's actually the isomorphic boards that got me to think in terms of programming it all in the first place. If you reduce the keys to the ones you need to play the particular track you have, you only need maybe 16-24 most of the time(7-8 note scales across 2-3 octaves). And you can easily go into a wholly rhythmic approach by being sample-focused, and then just use drum pads to perform.

There's a lot of options once you break away from resembling a piano. None are exactly better because a majority of people would rather transfer piano skills and play piano music, than play a new thing. That's just how it goes with music.
Slavery by the back door!

Sympathy for the problems for EAC seems to be in short supply, and I can sympathize. It doesn't really excuse the abrupt removal of the compatible hash table format without at least a deprecation effort ahead of time. What I would expect to see would be something like

step 1: provide complete and accurate documentation for the new format and communicate it widely and prominently to the developer community

step 2: set a target date & version for removal, and get feedback from the community to ensure it gives sufficient time and information to complete a migration. Provide a way for developers to ask for and get support to make the necessary changes. Release sample code, if possible.

step 3: one release before removal, loudly note the deprecation and the upcoming change.

step 4: as the release that removes backward compatibility is being prepared, again, communicate the upcoming change and provide guidance for those who can't update on any ways to mitigate problems.

step 5: finally, release the version with the breaking changes, and put the break boldly at the top of the release notes/changelog. Reiterate the previous guidance on mitigating problems and help.

step 6: Go have a tasty beverage.
Drawing general comparisons is exactly what this article tries to do at the end, that's one of my concerns with it.

They don't know what state the M2 was in at the start of each test (because the hw monitoring support isn't there yet), and this is a system that is known to thermally throttle, so the individual results are potentially flawed too.

The laptops don't cost the same amount. This is comparing an $1100 laptop to an $1800 laptop.

FWIW, I don't actually care which is faster (I own both AMD and Apple hardware that I use for different things) - I just think the review is flawed.

Operating a business with a single point of failure is a risk to be considered in the risk:reward analysis. For many businesses, it is a reasonable risk that enables unique solutions.

It's important to observe that the parent didn't suggest regretting building that business even though the customer-acquisition channel evaporated. They merely said that option is no longer viable for future businesses.

“two clicks of a mouse” - that’s a negative, not a positive, attribute. I’d rather not use a mouse, when possible. And yes, my S3 “workflow” is a very short shell script.

are you actually interested in which user agent I use to access HN, or was that just a snide assumption? I mean, sure, sometimes it is, but it’s ableist arrogance to assume everyone’s using a fat graphical client. Folks really don’t always use a web browser, or touch a mouse, to interact with websites.
My knee-jerk reaction would include adding the sentence the accused was threatened with as a "bonus" to the standard sentence the rogue law enforcement officer would receive as punishment. That might add sufficient disincentive.
No, I am not getting a deal, I am paying quite a bit. I had some warning, when I signed up with the power company they required a deposit "based on location usage" which they sized at $350, so I knew ahead of time that was going to suck.

It's not a pure CoPilot alternative, but I'd put https://codesearch.ai into the mix (disclaimer, it's my side project).

It is a semantic code search tool that can be queried using natural language. It provides decent answers to a variety of questions, and I've been finding myself using it quite often to "autocomplete" various mundane tasks. For example, plotting with matplotlib, making http requests in Go, running multiple goroutines, etc. - things where I would usually reach for Google. It doesn't provide a straightforward ready-to-run answer like CoPilot, but it does provide a way to help yourself. It all depends on what you prefer and how you learn. Arguably, having to read the code before you use it makes it more likely it will stick in your brain.

HFT needs to be outlawed.

No exchange should allow trades to complete, I would argue in any time less than 15 minutes, and each trade should have a random 1-15 minute delay pad on top of that.

The HFT access only serve the larger financial firms, and are used to do frontloading and other basically-illegal tricks. It provides anti-competitive advantage to large firms for markets that are supposed to open access/fair trading. And of course it leads to AI autotrading madness.

I get that it keeps a lot of tech people very well compensated, but it is either in the service of unregulated fraud at worst and unfair advantage at best.
Thanks for mentioning us, you are too kind! We are taking a more holistic approach to Copilot (we also have documentation, custom edit mode and some early refactoring capabilities). We are also hard at work building support for larger scale changes at the codebase level.

Arguing with artistic types is frustrating because they have no rigour. For instance "because only science can provide truth" - I never said that.

(edit: regarding "Maybe it's not valuable because it's not true?" I'm saying maybe literature is not as valuable as you claim, just so that doesn't get misunderstood, nothing to do with science).

"But if you don't think anything's missing in your life that they might help fill in" - Sure, I love a good escapist read and literature can definitely provide for that, but beyond that, what I want is a job, a GF, drugs, sex, going out and seeing some good mates. Lessee, will literature help there?

You claim, but are willing to provide no evidence. You won't even answer a simple question I asked, let me try again "Get a mate, have a comfortable life..." - what else?

Life is not awash with deep questions, most stuff in life is trivial and straightforwards.

Lots of land in Canada and Siberia is going to become a lot more habitable.

"average elevation" is a bit of a strange metric for a continent.

Several large American cities are above 1600m and just looking at a map of the land below the ice of Antartica, there is plenty of low-lying land.

And we need not exaggerate the actual expected warming. The beyond-worst-case doomers don't need that much attention.

People are going to move away from coasts because the sea will make a new coastline. Agricultural zones will move north and around because of changes to weather patterns.

Pretty cold places will become less cold and new cities will pop up further north. Canada will do pretty well and grow a lot.

All I can say is that twice my roommate has brought covid into the house, neither time did I catch it after 3 doses of Pfizer and zero precautions since he announced that he was sick in my face without warning, this last time I even had covid tests and never tested positive (some commenters from the first time claimed I may have been asymptomatic; nobody can know about that time, but this second time I can confirm that rapid testing showed nothing for me but quite clearly for my unvaccinated and twice-sick roommate)
Before there was science, technology, math and statistical inference, there were our dreams and our stories about a world that could be something other than what it was at that very moment for that very individual.

Have you noticed how many Star Trek gadgets are real things you can now buy in a store? That does not happen in some inevitable scientific process that will eventually produce obvious predefined advancements. It happens because our art and our philosophy inspires our science and our engineering. We are what we dreamed we could be.

You are sitting on top of a very large mountain of human achievement in the humanities. Law, government, peace, prosperity, human rights, ethics. These things all spring from the humanities. They were all invented before the scientific method. We would be still living in caves without them.
FWIW, one of the things that's been happening in FreeBSD for the past couple of years is linuxkpi; essentially implementation of various APIs that a Linux kernel would provide, implemented as wrappers around FreeBSD's native kernel APIs. This is being used for graphics drivers - For Intel and ATI FreeBSD uses the drivers from Linux kernel... 5.10 I believe. Linuxkpi, while not ideal, makes maintaining them practical, compared to gazillions of patch collisions on every merge from upstream if they were ported in a traditional way. The same is happening with WiFi drivers, and it's quite obvious that it will get more common.

Which is to say:

The psychology behind it. "Crucial Conversations" was the book that really kicked me off. It demonstrated how people can hear something different to what you say, and how you can create a conversational environment more conducive to the conversation you're trying to have.

More recently, conversational techniques for problem solving have been really interesting. Google "The SOON Funnel" if you're curious.
I doubt very much that alcohol consumption in any quantity can cause a lower rate of any cancer and I have not heard of any study providing any kind of evidence for this.

When some studies show a lower cancer rate correlated with moderate consumption of certain alcoholic beverages, e.g. wine or beer, it is much more likely that those studies show a beneficial effect of some other substances contained in those beverages.

In that case, it is likely that drinking the non-fermented precursors of those beverages might have the same effects, even in the absence of alcohol, e.g. drinking fresh grape juice instead of wine, or even better, eating red or black grapes instead of drinking juice.

Alcohol in small enough quantities may have negligible bad effects, because humans and their relatives are adapted to tolerate the ingestion of fermented fruits, but there is no reason to expect any good effects.
EPYC Naples wasn't good for much of anything though, so I am trying to forget it.
I wonder if they are using something like truenas or just interfacing directly with OpenZFS (assuming they use ZFS).
Maybe there could be provisions where the fund manager goes to jail instead in that case.
Oh I see, I guess I just meant different motives and intent. I agree that it would probably play out the same though, even if the motives were health related this time.
My super cynical view is that the whole genre of "quantum safe" cryptography is being promoted to try and encourage adoption of weak encryption...

Its felt like FUD based on FUD for a while.

Not that I really trust traditional encryption that much either.

There wouldn't be so much effort going into bridging air gapped systems if even traditional encryption could be trusted...

Hate making cynical comments tho, they always seem to get down voted :( like being cynical when it comes to encryption is a bad thing.....
That 10-year-old PC is quite precocious.
The funny bit about this is that the principles that broke SIDH were in the literature --- they owe to a late-1990's theorem† by Ernst Kani, a mathematician in Ontario. We spoke to Steven Galbraith about this (I wouldn't know who Kani was if I hadn't read Galbraith, just to be clear) and he'd even talked to Kani long before any of this came out. But Kani isn't a cryptographer and apparently isn't even especially interested in cryptography, so the dots didn't get connected until much later.

† That's the "25-year-old theorem" from the article.

> Many of the claims on this page are supported with links to commits, mailing lists posts, etc

Their links to commits, mailing list posts, etc., are cherry-picked and taken out of context to present their view.

For one example, they suggest that the FreeBSD community is unwilling to make changes to improve things, and say "some of their users like it that way though", linking to https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2020-May/01....

If you actually read the thread that response is taken from (starting at https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2020-May/01...) you'll see a wholly different picture: a FreeBSD developer proposed a change, there was general agreement with a small amount of opposition including the cherry-picked message, and the change was made.

The FreeBSD src git repo has hundreds of thousands of commits, and anyone can post to mailing lists, so of course it's possible to find examples of mistakes being made, or misguided posts from developers or users.

I very much welcome constructive criticism and ideas for improving the security landscape within FreeBSD.

I have been trying to get more exercise lately and been frustrated by how my smart watch is telling me that some of my biometrics are dead flat while other things like duration and intensity have been going up.

Recently, but well after I started to make changes, I heard someone say in passing that a sedentary lifestyle is as big of a risk factor as smoking. Initially I had a histamine reaction to that, but it actually isn't that surprising, once you get over the strong emotional response (like feeling attacked).
