And that's the least likely group of people to know anything about the lives of those most needing the police and most affected by the elimination of the police.

Put another way: people most likely to claim:

* they know "plenty of black people" because they once said hello to the black janitor

* they know "plenty of latinos" because they once hired a Mexico from the Home Depot parking lot to trim their trees

* they know "plenty of/about 'deplorables'" because they've driven through deplorable populations on the freeway or flow over deplorable states by plane

That's the same depth of understanding they have for "defund the police". Citing their articles is absolutely hilarious: akin to the above "proofs of knowledge".
From my experience, mouse needs to click AND move to wake from hibernate, while keyboard input does nothing
My Windows laptop use to wake from sleep because of postponed Windows updates. I took me some time to realize what's the cause; it sucked for me because I would put my laptop to sleep and then I would go to sleep but freaking Windows would wake me up from sleep. We had hard time going to sleep together at the same time.
Not sure why you’re repeating this comment in multiple places, but given that you are, I’ll repeat that this is not wrong, as I pointed out to you here: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=32704877&goto=threads%...

It wouldn’t suck if someone would at least find a way to modernize the experience and make spme of the commands more intuitive to the beginner.

Powershell is ok, a step in the right direction, but its coupling to windows is a turnoff to me of course
But the point is, that we can collect data, based on the information that we observed.

The fact that we observed this data, means that this would effect our estimation of the situation.
Honestly, Tree Sitter is fantastic, I can highly recommend it. By far the most user friendly and powerful parser generator I've worked with. The C API is very nice.

The only two pain point I had is that the `node-types.json` that's generated only contains the names of the nodes, not the numerical IDs. This means that if you have some codegen generating Rust enums is difficult if you want to avoid matching nodes by string.

I wrote https://github.com/tibordp/tree-sitter-visitor for generating visitor traits in Rust for a given grammar. I actually did it a bit differently in the end for Alumina, but it might come useful.

Being stuck is part of the job. Most of my unhappiness stems from a few things:

1. Time pressure. I can't develop code that works right. I am not talking about perfect performant portfolio work but as a backend developer many times I can't even hit the minimum standard of code quality because everything always needs to be done yesterday. Then I am responsible for it, and all the problems caused by deadlines are my problem, and every manager forgets they assigned me the deadline.

2. Pagerduty. Absolute worst thing to ever be perpetrated on development teams. It allows the C-levels to run "lean" teams because 4-8 developers rotate minimum 12/5 shifts, usually 24/5. 30 years ago this might have been necessary. We have been able to stagger timezones for the last decade now easily.

3. The work. It took me 10 years to land (by chance) a company with work that is interesting to me. My bar for interesting is so low at this point that on a scale of boring to life changing something that even remotely has me write other than boilerplate scores pretty high. Even now, I am responsible not only for the software but also for the devops (this is not a small company) which inevitably gets blocked to death by SREs, code review on another 2 repos for deployment, my own QA, etc. I do, effectively, the work of 4 different positions. I am paid for being a developer. Either raise my salary 40% or I will start dropping tasks.

Remote work has been an absolute boon to me. I am unsure how anyone could take a negative stance on it. Sure I don't talk to people often but I don't honestly care. Work has always been work to me. Coworkers are not your friends and honestly they probably shouldn't be. Find meaning in your life elsewhere. With remote work I can actually do my job (program) instead of being in meeting after meeting where a PM waxes poetic on whatever is important to them in order to justify their meager existence at the company. I no longer have to listen to the CEO go on for hours about how good the company is, or feel like I have to join in for beers instead of going to do what I actually want, etc. Fuck everything about the office. I am fully convinced this is not an "extrovert" vs. "introvert" battle, but rather a battle of people who have actually woken up the realities of being a serf vs. the people who remain asleep suffering from stockholm syndrome.
I wouldn't trust the opinion of NYT stenographer as far as I could throw them.

IMO it’s also about choosing the right things to integrate vs. build. I agree that with Space in particular, the choice of what they integrate vs. build does not make sense for maximizing developer experience and value. At Coherence (withcoherence.com // I’m a cofounder) we are also building a more integrated set of tools for building software, but we don’t feel that GitHub and Slack or JIRA/Asana/linear are the tools to bite off, or that the world needs yet another CI syntax and hosting platform. Those are all great places to choose integration with existing popular tools. We do agree with the Space product thesis in that the Cloud IDE is a central piece of the next generation platform - we just think that tying it deeply to the deployment and cloud infrastructure workflows provides the most developer value.

Of course, we’re huge fans of JetBrains products, and them and the other companies mentioned above have so much credibility and such vast resources that they are going to deliver widely-used and powerful products. We hope to integrate with them where it makes sense!

An X-ray machine has capital and operating expenses, requires significant safety measures, licensing/inspection (at least in the US), and a trained technician.

That all is significantly more expensive than saying "you hand us a form telling us whether there's a pacemaker or not, and if you fuck it up you get in trouble."
right here... hire convicted felons. go to the nearest prison and work with inmates there that are getting out in a year to teach them programming or whatever position you need filled so when they get out they have a job and the confidence to keep that job.
Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon. CH4.

One molecule of methane combines with two molecules of oxygen to form one molecule of carbon dioxide along with two molecules of water. Releasing good amounts of energy when this reaction (oxidation of hydrocarbons by simply burning them) is taking place.

CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O

Hydrogen is the simplest flammable gas. H2, in molecular form.

2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O

Two molecules of hydrogen combine with one molecule of oxygen to form two molecules of water with no other byproducts. Lots of energy comes out too when hydrogen burns but it is a completely clean gas unlike any other. If hydrogen can be manufactured using only green energy, it is completely benign to the environment when burned. Also harmless when released unburnt as long as it doesn't cause any fires or asphyxiation or something.

OTOH when the methane burns it turns into an equal number of carbon molecules in the atmosphere in the form of CO2. Fortunately the CO2 has a lesser greenhouse effect than if the unburnt methane were directly released (or leaked) into the environment.

As it is now, any methane likely to be used as rocket fuel would alternatively just be turned into atmospheric CO2 by some other terrestrial user of natural gas anyway. Without launching any spacecraft.

Methane fuel still puts CO2 into the atmosphere at the push of a button, which would require a herculean effort to remove later, and that removal would not be justifiable until the situation is much more dire, as we have seen.

Still, methane really can be considered the cleanest burning hydrocarbon, but nowhere near the zero-CO2 exhaust from a hydrogen flame.

Both of these gaseous fuels are so light they do not like to be physically liquified at all, not even when highly pressurized, and that would require very heavy-walled storage cylinders in that case. But they still need to be stored as a liquid in order to carry orders of magnitude more fuel than the same size tank would hold in gaseous form. So they use extreme low-temperature cryogenics to liquefy these fuels and the storage & handling is accomplished at temperatures so far below zero that the product remains liquid without needing to be kept under very much pressure. Instead, it's handled very cold at all times with lots of insulation & refrigeration. If it warms up too much the pressure rise is certainly expected to exceed the design maxiumum of the storage tank, so all safety relief devices must be highly reliable under these conditions.

There's this thing about cryogenics.

Everything can't be expected to work right the first time, and success may not be had until all possible failures have already been witnessed to occur, and further design experience has been gained developing the workarounds.
> The change felt quite sudden

They've always been here but vocal and unashamed airing of those views is what rapidly changed across culture (not limited to HN) as a whole. Ignorance and conspiracy is now a badge of honor.
Well, intel ships a tool that tells the OEM that this is a misconfiguration from a secure boot configuration POV.

Linux fwupdmgr can be used to verify the secure boot status and you will fail HS2 if this is not fused.

Also.... would be happy to know who doesn't fuse it on newer machines. And even coreboot does not mean you can flash your own. You can have a lockdown where you can only load the OEMs coreboot.
> I always find it puzzling that critics think that intersectional studies are about vilifying "all white men", when the premise is actually the opposite. A white man with mental illness from a working class background would not be part of the "very narrowly defined group that enjoys intersectional privilege". Nor does enjoying the intersectional privilege assume that you are a harasser, a bad person, just that other people probably encountered harassment more often than you.

I think where people get lost is rhetoric. You're getting lost because:

> I am a cisgender, straight, white male in tech (not in academia) and I don't think it's a big deal to acknowledge that I benefit from quite a few privileges as such. I don't get harassed sexually, noone bats an eye when I mention my partner, society doesn't expect me to bear children, I have a very decent income, I get a default level respect for my technical abilities just by virtue of showing up.

You believe this is uniform enough that it can be said definitively. They're getting lost because they see the subject continually brought up but then walked back with statements like:

> Note that bullying appears to be related to power differentials more than to gender, meaning that the reason why perpetrators are overwhelmingly male is because men disproportionally occupy powerful academic positions. Obviously, women in powerful positions can be bullies, too [[29, 30]].

All that tells me is that we don't really know how to talk about any of this correctly yet.
There was no contract.

It "sounds" to you like there was a contract because that's what you want to believe. The article doesn't say there was a contract, and the complaint goes into considerable detail about how (a) there was no contract, (b) if there had been a contract, she would have had the right to rescind it.

Also, fuck the 4-H experience...
The cancel mob has set its sights on a website that's hosted behind CloudFlare. They're really upset that CloudFlare is taking a stand against censorship and refusing to give into their demands to take it off the Internet.
The downside of a startup is that they don't have as much money to pay you, and as a contractor you don't get equity.

(On the upside, you don't get equity, and for most startups the money they pay you will be worth more than any equity ever will be.)
..What's your main stack?
Aka the "Eye of Africa" (wikipedia seems to have scrubbed almost all trace of this commonly used name.)

I don't buy it it all. The lowest point of this structure is presently several hundred meters above sea level. There is almost no archeological trace of human habitation, save for some ancient stone tools (no trace of structures, no middens indicating dense population.) These tools date to the Late Pleistocene to early Holocene, when sea levels were even lower than they are today (in other words, this formation was even further from the sea then.)
You don’t have to be a republican (as if that’s a slur?) to disagree with the “science” of masking considering government officials said not to use masks, then to use masks, then we were all going to die if we didn’t wear masks, now no one is wearing masks… What is and is not “settled science” is up to extreme interpretation
Yes. Anyone borderline schizophrenic should be very, very careful around psychedelics.

But I have seen good results (treatment-seeking, successful) in borderline schizophrenics after exposure to MDMA.
In what world is "these people disproportionately hold positions of power" disparaging? The degree of mental gymnastics must be exhausting.
Well, yes. But the category that allows for higher powered speeds effectively makes them motorized vehicles akin to mopeds, removing ambiguity regarding their status or place in traffic. Motorized vehicles generally aren't allowed on bicycle paths.

That is, again, at least where I live. Last time I took a glance, I got the impression there wasn't EU-wide consistent regulation on that.
What about the sovereign nations that accept it as legal currency and/or for taxes?

Clearly you wrote about "business side of the table" when corruption exits on both sides of the table. Often the Unions corruption is rather bad as well (teamsters and organized crime anyone?)

Statements like this always seem like things people throw out there when they are unable to build a compelling case?
> the police supposedly left their jurisdiction to seize property without a warrant. That doesn't seem normal to me.

Counties are creatures of states. In some states, they’re jurisdictional boundaries. In California, they’re administrative entities [1]. (Cities, on the other hand, have jurisdictional characteristics.)

KISS: Use env vars for container configuration if at all possible

There may be some CKADs who have a more informed opinion than me on this.
I don't know much about teachers unions. I know there are some (debateable) bad aspects of it, such as that they lean very heavily towards making it difficult to fire bad teachers that have seniority. But I've seen a number of good things about it too. Honestly, it's hard for a union of public workers to do a very good job, because (being critical workers), they have less leverage when it comes to exercising their power.

The Teamsters in another union that has been mired in controversy due to their behavior.
I use SBCL for learning Lisp because I have found the combination of Lisp compiler and a Lisp book which seems working for me, for the sake of effectively learning some Lisp. Any IDE or something with GUI for making SBCL interpreter look easier like for example Racket?

My problem is that I can not use cursor keys for editing what I have typed in console and debugger is currently too hard for my understanding.
You're technically correct, but I think one major advantage of ebikes vs motorcycles is that you don't need to deal with all the equipment.

In Europe, this means you need at least a helmet and approved gloves when riding the faster bikes. They're legally considered a form of "motorcycle", so have the requirements: license + registration + insurance. Although, in practice, for smaller bikes, basically everyone already has the license.

Not everyone cares only about themselves. Some things are worth a degree of sacrifice.
I'm a writer. What you've said here is basically correct, but I disagree with your conclusion.

In 2009 I took basically the same path that Howey is proposing here. I started self-publishing on Amazon in 2011 and I've written five novels so far, and am working on a sixth.

Obviously I did not experience anywhere near the success that Howey did. This may be due to luck, but I've read Wool and it's also a much better novel than anything I've written (so far!) So it's not always about luck. An amazingly good novel can sometimes generate its own luck.

But my lack of success hasn't dissuaded me and I don't consider the journey I took in becoming a writer to have been wasted. On the contrary, it's been amazing every step of the way. I've learned so many things, met so many wonderful people, and even sold a couple of thousand books along the way, which isn't much, but it's not nothing either.

And at the same time, I've been writing non-fiction articles for Ars Technica, which has been considerably more successful for me. (An example would be my article on the history of OS/2, or my history of the Amiga computer). These articles have been read and enjoyed by orders of magnitude more people, which is very satisfying.

I guess what I'm saying is that there are more possibilities for being a writer than being a famous fiction author picked up by a major publishing house. There are all kinds of paths for writers to take.

Success is never guaranteed, and if you want to be a writer you have to be realistic about this. But if you really want to be a writer, nothing can stop you. In fact, that's kind of the only prerequisite for becoming one. If you feel compelled to write, regardless of any success or rewards, you will keep doing it. At the very least, you will become a better writer. And if you become a better writer, it's almost inevitable that, at some point, somebody will notice.

Don't expect to be famous. Expect to write.
£500/day is the rate for software engineering contractors in the UK that guarantees a continuous stream of work: it would be trivial for someone to bill 100% of billable days in a year at that rate. I don't know anybody who only bills 10 - 15 days per month, I personally bill ~21 on average per month and I am always fully booked (I turn down work). All you need is a profile on LinkedIn and you'll get a constant stream of offers at £500/day -- no reputation or relationships required. Anybody billing 10 - 15 days per month is doing so out of choice.
You can pull it up. It doesn't change that it was an empty political stunt, that most guns were not in the buyback, that people simply took the buyback money to buy new guns (which you can check at the time by massive gun profits selling guns to Australians), or, as I pointed out above, that there are more guns now than before Port Authur [1].

So go ahead and post the video. Then read the rest of the story.

> The optimal amount of fraud a business/industry should accept is non-zero

Let's make that: "The optimal amount of fraud a business should accept under the current credit card online payment system is non-zero".

There is absolutely nothing intrinsic about online commerce that requires fraud. Online business routinely operate with a money first, zero consumer trust paradigm. They ask for my payment credentials first, and only then deliver the products.

If we were to design the online payment system from scratch, we would use cryptography to completely remove the notion of credit card theft, and escrow to settle consumer complaints, with an option for paid arbitration when things go bad. I guess you can call some of those cases "fraud" and some customers are so unreasonable that they border on criminal, yes, you can't make that segment zero, but I don't think that's the kind of fraud they are referring to.

The reason we can't have those nice things is because of immense momentum of the current system designed in the 60s by companies that have very little reason to change anything. In fact, an online payment reform would most likely strip them of their oligopoly. So yes, the optimal fraud level is non-zero because Mastercard, Visa etc. can push that fraud onto consumers (via retailers), and they are making much more money anyway from the current situation.
I'm repeating it because of the mind-boggling number of people making contrary assertions of "fact" based on nothing but how they would like things to be.
They documented Keffals’ child grooming and drug trafficking when no one else would, for one.

The ‘body count’ talking point is questionable. The three deaths of which I am aware are people who all had severe preexisting mental health issues and made very bad decisions online (defrauding others, sending death threats, being horrible to other people). Kiwi Farms documented these behaviors, which these people didn’t like. Talking about someone’s bad behavior is not illegal and should not be prohibited. I don’t condone things like mass-flagging someone’s Facebook page or other forms of actual online harassment. Such actions are in any case against Kiwi Farms site rules.

And if this is your standard, what of Twitter? What of Facebook? They have body counts too, much higher than Kiwi Farms’. Former North Carolina professor Mike Adams shot himself after his firing for a racially insensitive tweet, or in the language of KF’s Wikipedia page, “was driven to suicide after endless harassment and trolls’ use of rumors got him fired.” Game developer Alec Holowka committed suicide after accusations of sexism on social media. Academic Peter Newborn took his own life after accusations of anti-Semitism were followed by a Twitter pile-on (Newborn was Jewish). These deaths are tragic but ultimately not Twitter’s fault. Twitter users in these cases likely didn’t even break the Terms of Service, which are far more restrictive on Twitter than on Kiwi Farms’.

Sites like Kiwi Farms and large parts of Twitter are essentially tabloids for niche Internet microcelebrities. Like tabloids, they often seem grossly intrusive into people’s personal lives. They also occasionally do societally-valuable muckraking. Either way they’re not illegal, and the best solution for their targets is to ignore them and not give them any attention. Investigating, documenting, and talking about someone online is not harassment. Actual harassment should be addressed through legal and platform-specific means.
