I never said a blockade was a war crime. I said the British blockade was because they treated food as war-contraband.

The British blockade against Germany was August 1914, according to these sources:

Can you provide a source for a pre august 1914 German declaration of a blockade on the UK?

You seem to have more of a handle on intestinal parasites and rational thinking in general than I can muster up right now.

They specifically sampled the dirt that fell into the abdominal cavity of these monks. Wouldn't a potential variable be whether those eggs may have actually been in the dirt above the body that then fell rather than being in the intestines of the monks when they died? It could be that the soil they were buried under had a higher parasite egg load than the soil used to bury the non-monks elsewhere.

I'll try to come back around and do some reading as far as what particular parasites the researchers identified and how they're transmitted/their life cycles when my brain fires up later today. If you've got the time and motivation to give me a head start though, it would be much appreciated.
I'd say realtime communications is harder.

I think one of the options here is to remove the standing charge, making pricing reflect usage — higher energy users will get a sudden disincentive to use the same level of energy.

The article also mentions a domestic cap set at reasonable levels, so anyone heating a swimming pool will be charged at higher rates.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Netflix engineers didn't have blog posts from other companies on how to handle the scale they started facing.

What’s wrong with entry level SWE at 40? Working for and with younger people is no shame.

Someone dear to me could have started SWE at 38 but felt as you do and quit. More than 12 years later they would be a veteran at the job but instead today still are looking in from the outside saying 50 is too late, regretting their decision and making excuses just like they said at 38. Wrong then, wrong now.

12 years from now you will probably kick yourself for worrying about what worries you today. I am proud of you for making a change; stick with it! Few industries consider you senior after 3-5 years.
I don't really agree with that.

Yeah, sure it is hard or even harder. But think about browsers. We run applications and we want to make sure they look and behave the same, but there are so many OS, browsers, versions, devices, ...

So do we have to buy a laptop for each? Maybe in the past, but today we "just" emulate it. The same can be done with kernel testing. Assume that the whole kernel runs emulated (which is the hard part) and then test the outout of that (in the emulator).
Not much, see sibling comment. It used to be the minimum quality for enjoyable 4k. (4k Blu-Ray discs have much higher bitrates with HEVC). But since, Netflix heavily optimized their encoding, greatly reducing the bandwidth needs.
None of these comparisons manage to sink the Apple chip which is what Intel/AMD ultimately wants. If the myth that x86 is always going to be better isn't quelled enough then it starts to become irrelevant as ARM takes hold. So a lot of this is to try to support it through proof in benchmarks. I'm not saying that's the intent of phoronix.com - far from it. But that's a general philosophy which skewing benchmarks one particular way.
What happens if the best apartment you could have looked at was the first one, which you rejected because you hadn't seen enough by that point.

Following the above heuristic, isn't there a chance you never look at another apartment that would be "better than the others you've looked at" once you enter the decision window, and therefore keep looking until you reach N and have to take the last option?

(the implications for dating should be obvious here, with it being fairly common for young lovers to break up so they can "see what's out there", and not uncommon for people to reach an age where they feel the need to settle for "what they can get" at that point)

This made me realize that if someone is willing to give up the NextDNS apps and simply rely on their DNS nameservers, then they might still want to use Tailscale as a way to automatically enforce NextDNS nameservers for all enrolled devices. Kind of the best of both worlds.

The Rescue of Sigmund Freud
The part I quoted isn't about Mitchell, and the article doesn't even quote Mitchell at all. It just reports what one of his studies concludes about temperature trends.

I think you've yourself been misled. Mitchell accepted global cooling was really happening and the world was indeed cooling since 1940. See for yourself, here's one of his papers published in 1975:

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-010-1729-9_...

"In balance, the net thermal impact of all global-scale pollution (including thermal pollution) is likely to be one of warming, perhaps increasingly so after 2000 A.D. It is concluded that the cooling of climate since 1940, apparently still in progress, is a natural phenomenon plausibly related to an enhanced stratospheric loading by volcanic dust in the period"

The fact that the world got colder between 1940 and 1975(ish) was never really in dispute up until climatologists realized that they couldn't explain the contradiction between that and the greenhouse gas nature of CO2. At that point they started re-calculating old temperatures to make the cooling trend disappear, and telling people that all the stories published about their agreement in the 60s and 70s were just awful terrible journalists somehow getting what they were saying entirely backwards. To finish it off they claim that anyone who points out that this isn't true is an immoral denier who should be silenced. It's very much 1984 in real life.
That's mostly just the case of a long-running system: It was a sensible choice in the day, and apparently it's held up, considering we're talking about an RFC revised 41 years later.

I do wish it was more clear how one could engage in the process: I will literally not sleep soundly at night until the HSTS standard is revised to remove it's malicious component (the "no user recourse" clause), but I also... really have no idea where to start on getting it amended.
Oh, I didn't know about the new --verify-webhook addition to ngrok, that's cool!

Who can I chat with about adding Svix style webhooks[1] to ngrok? We do webhook sending as a service and power the webhooks for many companies, including one of the only three that got a "perfect score" on your list.

Adding Svix will make ngrok automatically support many webhooks services. I'd be happy to chat further my email is my name at the domain of the Svix service.

Yes, extracting contaminated materials from an environment and decontaminating them would removing life because it's destructive. That's what cleaning this stuff up involves.

I'm all for "environmentally damaging" or someother name but "forever chemicals" is just a bad name for this that is going to get picked up on by people.

I'm not suggesting burn so much co2 that the planet gets to 120C, although it'd have less human problems at that point.

If the story of concern is the Salon article about Christian homeschooling, my gut wouldn't consider it "necessary for HN's health" because my gut leads me to believe that the intersection of fundamentalist Christian homeschoolers and HN'ers is small (though I believe a bit of overlap exists) and therefore the article is unlikely to cause changes in child rearing techniques.

That leaves it mostly in the preaching to the choir category at best and an attractive nuisance for commentators in the average case.

I ask myself what are people supposed to do with it other than get upset one way or the other? I mean the article has sparked deep passions in you.

Good luck.
In the case of Youtube, the video thumbnail itself is usually a strong enough signal as to whether it's worth watching.

Enormous swathes of the platform are filled with gossip channels (politics, crypto, stonks, celebrities, music) hosted by clout chasers desperate to be seen as authorities on that topic.

Of course there can be good content inside of these categories, but you can generally tell which channels are "optimized for engagement", i.e. run like a business, and those are more amateurish and perhaps more authentic.
There are a lot of technical questions there, yes, but plenty of non-technical ones. That being said, yeah, a recruiter isn't always going to have great pertinent insight to offer about the organization, and they might also be coached to give a particular set of replies. OTOH, the author specifies that not all the questions are going to be suitable to the initial interview, which would be the only one held with a recruiter anyway.

iOS makes this very easy where every app launching another provides a link in the top left. I find it hard to believe users of tiktok and snapchat with their weird hidden/discoverable functionality of swiping from different places would have issue with the button that says "< snapchat" at the top.

I'm not really arguing for shoveling rainforests to raise sheep on or something.. But if we enjoy the idea of living (and not starving) food produced locally has to adapt to the local lands.. Which in many places allows for a lot of grass -> cattle etc.

So it needing more land is a kinda worthless metric tbh.
Sorry, I should have clarified further. This is "world" in terms of European political discourse--as far as Europe was concerned, if you weren't a European power (and Russia most certainly was a European power), you weren't really a country worth caring about, just fodder for imperialism and colonization.

Are you sure that wasn't largely a southern Democrat thing? For the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960, and 1964, ~80% of Republicans voted for them. Meanwhile, only ~65% of Democrats voted for them. It was mostly southern Democrats filibustering/voting against the bills.

OTOH 8GB RAM is Apple's own self-inflicted limitation. Why should the other CPU be given artificially less RAM only because Apple chose a design that limits how much RAM their chip can use?
It's weird how many absolutely landslide victories there are back and forth even within the same program. Like usually AMD vs. Intel it's mostly neck and neck, eeking out an edge here and there.

But here there's quite a few >2x wins and not even consistently within a given program. Like GNU radio can't make up its mind which one will utterly dominate.
Yes, people “doing” the stage-Irish accent in response to an Irish person speaking in a relatively neutral accent is incredibly common, I just don’t get how people don’t realise what they’re doing- and I know for fact that many times it’s meant in a friendly, almost affectionate way, which boggles my mind even more, and then of course there are times when it’s intended to irk and offend but the person doing it hides behind the “banter” and thinks they won’t get called out for it.
Reserve Bank of India (RBI): Discussion Paper on Charges in Payment Systems
My understanding is that the main protocol itself does not provide any money to those that developed or deployed it. However, they did set up a governance DAO, where some of the governance coins would be released to those who developed TC, and those coins could then be sold on the open market, allowing them to indirectly profit from developing TC.

They could also be operating nodes in the relay network, in which relay nodes agree to pay for the gas used to withdrawal money in exchange for a fee. The initial developers could quite easily be profiting by running some of these relayers.

In my region people grow hay (non-grain grass) on land they grow corn on, and bale it up to sell as livestock feed. It's part of crop rotation bc corn is rough on the soil but they could also just grow soy or a variety of other grain producing plants instead if there wasn't a demand for the hay.
Why do you have to see conspiracy in this?

> "the myth that x86 is always going to be better"

> "a lot of this is to try to support it through proof in benchmarks"

There is no myth that x86 is always going to be better. Apple created a great architecture, but we can't all migrate to Macs, and sometimes we can't even afford to migrate to ARM. Not because of ideology, but because of legacy systems.

So these benchmarks are not to support any kind of propaganda, just trying out new chips to see if we can finally get the same generational leap on the PC as well.

Who cares about what Intel/AMD wants. Phoronix isn't the puppet of any of them, just another enthusiast user trying to inform.

Everyone has the right to a day in court, the right to be represented by competent legal counsel, and to be judged by a jury of their peers. The government is fundamentally biased in it's own favor, massively asymmetrically equipped, and needs to be balanced against the mores of the populace it serves.

Note: This has degenerate cases, That too is okay. A government is there to serve the People, and if the People look at a case the Government thinks is airtight, and goes "nah", that's it. Case closed. The People have spoken.

We have a legal system, not a Justice System. No matter how hard people want the latter, that's the ideal we'll always fall short of. The happiness, if you will, we are pursuing.
> yo drive down co2. fact is: we are not gonna reach the targets in a reasonable timeframe.

The solution to climate change is very cheap and simple. It is a carbon tax. It is also not difficult to implement at all and will cause only modest inflation.

However, the oil industry is a huge influence on governments all over the world and will throw everything at preventing this from happening.

Imagine for a moment that all of the carbon taxes were directed to subsidize EV and solar. All if us would be driving cheap EVs and getting 90% of our electricity from solar sources.
To be pedantic, scaling by itself isn't that difficult.

Thank you!

Really, thank you for posting a fact-based statement without attaching your political opinion. I think facts would be accepted more easily if there were presented to the general public without attaching the personal opinion of the writer.
Reading from the comments, I'm astounded that the recruiters seem to think interviewing for a job is a one-way street where only the employer should validate if the employee is a good fit for the employer.

I'm literally investing 40+ hours a week of my life into your company for at least the next 2 years and you think I won't vet you before accepting your offer?

You need a reality check.
> I'd really like a debate to be possible

No, the "debate" they want to have is not on what to do but rather if science is to be trusted or not.
And difficult for the system to not be gamed by brigadiers.

Also voting is an extremely skewed signal, what people say they like and what they actually like are very different and with search you can actually measure that by seeing which results users actually go to and don’t bounce from.
This is a fairly limited point of view. For starters, you need to realize that the candidate is probably interviewing for more companies and having more offers. If the offers are similar enough, I might end up making a decision based on which source control you use or on whether you use libraries I don't like or not.

But also, those questions are very useful to know what working for the company might be like. For example, my perception of the company depending on some answers:

- You don't use source control: the company doesn't really care about the development process. Very likely to be missing other development tools, and my job is going to be harder than it needs to be.

- You use Subversion: A signal that the company might be stagnated on legacy practices, systems and tools.

- You don't use OSS libs: the company tends to reinvent the wheel. Unless there's a good reason, looks like I am going to fight internal teams for getting standard features to the shared libraries, and my job is going to be harder because it looks like the process to get already-written code onto the company codebase is hard or even impossible.

Those signals are going to go into my decision process. Maybe not a dealbreaker, but might make a difference when comparing to other offers.

And yes, when people have asked me those things, I've been happy to respond. In fact, it shows me that they know what they want and probably have experience in those tools and the advantages/drawbacks of each approach.
I think it's a legitimate question to ask how long Apple's ARM advantage continues. I could totally see a repeat of Apple's PowerPC experience, where they do the transition, and just smoke the competition for a generation or two, and then get dragged under by the market effects of the x86 duopoly.

The next generation Ryzen series (7000 series) looks like it's going to be absolutely insane. That window may end up being shorter then expected.

> Long verbose names don't cost anything

They absolutely do have a cost. The question is whether the benefit they bring in implicit documentation is worth their cost.

> Even beyond the DX of readable names, it also acts like a type-checker. By reading the code, you can verify at least the semantics make sense.

I would strongly prefer that the actual type system do this job instead. As a toy example, if a function is only meant to operate on "lengths" (i.e., non-negative scalar values) then that should be modeled in the types of its arguments, not in its name.
The macbook ram is on the same package as the processor...there's an additional latency cost for the Ryzen...I don't think it invalidates the tests if they're not tied to memory latency for swapping in and out of RAM.

You'll get no argument from me on the OS...that's an interesting test decision.

It's worse than that: it's as if people voted the worst of middle managers into office!
If the question was standalone, I'd agree. However, in the context of all the other questions, I'm not so sure.

It does not sound backwards at all. That is what TDD is for: To start writing the visible portions of your program to see how it works and adjust accordingly as user needs dictate. Once your program does what the user wants, all you have to do is backfill the "black box" implementation, using test cases created during the discovery phase to ensure that the "black box" provides what the user came to expect. The scenario you present is exactly what TDD was envisioned for.

If you know the exact requirements upfront, you don't really need TDD. You can simply write the code to those requirements and, perhaps, add in some automated acceptance testing to help catch mistakes. TDD shines when you are unsure and exploring options.
