It's not just superstition. Rituals play an important part for the human mind even in the absence of supernatural belief.
I assume the context of this is the recent discussion around Gen. Mark Milley.

This situation was terrifying, in a way that I think the media didn't cover well at the time. I'm glad they're starting to, because it's terrifying, even existentially so.
Can someone with more experience in the 3 frameworks give some insights into the type safety ergonomics?

I'm extremely biased towards react due to the fact that it effectively brings very strongly typed templates/components to the table, which has saved me easily a hundred hours of debugging/testing over the last 4 years. It also makes components MUCH more accessible due to the declarative nature of props (and their respective types).
Hi, this is Sebastian.
We would be very grateful if you could help us with feedback on the demo and validation in general.
I am looking forward to chat with you guys. Feel free to also send us a mail at hello@stepci.com
I’ve been to Berlin once in the last 10 or so years. Took the bus. Had to pay with a 20€ bill. The driver looked at me as if I’m trying to hand him something poisonous and waved me through.
> Catching the obvious cases only means you’ve caught the obvious cases. Reddit is really naive here. They’ll punish “look what I made” but not “look what I found” . We did it, Reddit! We beat ads!

Also catching the obvious cases can easily create an illusion of competence, which quickly leads to overconfidence.
The correct answer to this is actually "syntax error" because your `0xFFOO:15` has got two letter O's in it and anyway 0xFF00 isn't valid erlang (no hex literals).

If you mean this equivalent bit of Elixir, then I got it right:

<<1::5, 2::4, 0xFFOO::15, "foo"::binary>>

I think it's all good and sensible, except that "0xFF00::15" should raise an error. The bit syntax silently masks out some stuff which can hide some errors.
Not a stretch - one of the criteria of dominance is being able to make abnormal profits. The company's famous 200% markups that are triple that of everyone else in the industry is a strong sign. (Even if you disregard that its next-biggest competitor Samsung is 10x smaller in phone revenues.)

Again, the UN has never declared that there is a holocaust or a genocide in Xinjiang. None of your sources, which clearly you have not bothered to read in depth, say that.

Show me the evidence of a holocaust. You cannot because there is no evidence.

I really wish you would take the time to learn what the words you are using actually mean rather than spam links by Radio Free Asia and Adrian Zenz who have proved themselves propagandists.
Dry 18°C air _feels_ significantly colder than humid 18°C air. Doesn't humid air also retain the heat longer than dry air?

As for the air cooling down when it hits the ceiling, this is true.. for a period of time. In an ideal situation you have a significant amount of insulation on the other side of the ceiling which inhibits thermal loss.

In my case, I have a heat pump and electric resistance backup. A few years ago I added a whole-house humidifier, which made my home feel significantly warmer at the same set-point and reduced the amount of electricity that I used each month under similar weather conditions.
That is still religious.
It's not an issue anywhere in the world except the US, where apparently school kids can get bullied if their texts in group chats are the wrong colour.
This is known as the "Geritol solution" and was an idea that was debated back in the early 90s.
This looks like an article that wanted to give a particular outcome (that trees are not enough) and backed into that out with a study that “proved” it.

However I can’t find a link to the actual study in the article.

Has there ever been a study that linked the increase in CO2 to the increased logging efforts in places around the world?

You make good points. There are certainly gaps in my knowledge of Bluetooth.

> But the Hands Free Profile doesn’t even use ACL, but Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) transfers. These have a fixed data rate of 64 kbit/s (bidirectional).

Why are we limited to HFP? Does the Bluetooth spec not allow forming two A2DP connections to establish bi-directional audio?

I apologize if your link answers these questions, but it's currently throwing a 504 Gateway Timeout.
This is very cool.

It would be great if they could also create an olfactory-nerves-electrical-activity to odor map.

Then maybe with that, a device could be built that you could put in your nose and feel different smells. Kind of like a VR headset but for your nose.
They were but that was never in dispute.

The point I made was that IBM were slow to release a home machine. And even when they eventually did release their first PC, it was still viewed more as a business machine. meanwhile Apple and Microsoft (amongst others) were already established in the home computer market.

It took years for the PC to become dominant. Frankly their dominance isn’t even because of IBM but instead because every other manufacturer ripped off IBMs design. Some of us old timers still call those macHines “IBM-compatible” since the term “personal computer” wasn’t always specifically referring to an x86+BIOS, like it later came to be in the 90s.

I do miss the 70s and 80s era of computing. Everything felt new and magical. It was like your imagination was the only limit. A bit like web development in the 90s and AI these days. As nice as it when an industry matures, there is a lot of fun to be had in the early days when everyone is doing silly things because there’s nobody to tell us otherwise.
That’s not what the essay or talk is about. It’s about state censorship amd comtrol.

Even worse, this same kind of thing is bound to happen to HN (in fact, I bet you that it's been happening for a few years already - HN has a remarkably large audience) unless something changes.

The obvious solutions are (1) implementing a web of trust and (2) changing the site guidelines to forbid product recommendations. Both of these approaches are super disruptive, but ultimately we need something to either (a) reduce the economic incentive for marketers on HN or (b) make it more difficult for them to conduct their influence campaigns.
Absolutely. Our ways of thinking about the environment are trapped in the past. Where we focus on one variable and miss the importance and resilience that comes from a holistic approach. We need to be encouraging the right ecosystems for the right environment. For example, we need to be encouraging native grassland ecosystems in the great plains, not forests. Native grasses can have root systems 8 feet deep to deal with droughts and erosion, a forest just doesn't make sense there
This is an improbable exaggeration pattern. A user exaggerates the description of their problem to induce others to understand their pain, then another user requests proof for the exaggeration. The outcome? A cycle of posts with new exaggerations and proof requests.

Thanks for the sample, I'm building a social network with lower noise to signal ratio. Being aware of these social patterns allows filtering them.
I used to work at a company that did a lot of security work, they're mentioned rather frequently on HN actually. We spent a lot of time dealing with our own binaries being caught in a variety of "security apps" as false positives.

>These sobering statistics recently led Andrea Toreti, a researcher with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Milan, to make a shocking declaration: that the 2022 drought is likely Europe’s worst in nearly 500 years

Bollocks, and so easily disproved by the "Hunger Stones" along the Elbe River in central Europe.

The stones become visible when the water level of the river drops significantly, as in during times of drought.

The oldest stone carving to emerge was carved in 1616.

"Some markings date back to the 15th century, Czech researchers found in 2013, and the Decin stone commemorates at least 12 droughts over 600 years. "

Droughts come and go and are a natural climate phenomena.

I thought at first you were pointing out that Putin attacked these policies, as proof that they aren't pro-Russian policies, but surprisingly it looks like you're actually defending Putin and taking his side against the people advocating rolling out renewables, because you don't want his good name besmirched by being associated with Green MEPs.

You genuinely think Putin tried to save the EU from this "mistake" of replacing fossil fuels with renewables?
Modern Christmas is essentially a non-religious celebration, unless if you go to church. It is mostly about family gathering and gift giving, so even atheists have no problem with that.

Which one? Even Olkiluoto (OL3 with its decade+ delays included) is doing just fine financially.

> Nuclear power simply cant exist without lavish subsidies.

Point me to these subsidies in Finland.

It is the wind and solar that is getting lavish subsidies here (well used to they are now finally going away slowly bringing actual market economy back into the picutre)

edit:

> One is Soviet in origin

How does this matter? VVER-440 is actually a solid design and has been in use for decades without any issues in Finland (and many other countries). These days all the parts and upgrades are sourced from the west. Also a western standard safety vessel and all other safety features were upgraded when it was built as we Finns did not really trust Soviet safety design (as in it was never turned on with standard Soviet safety systems installed as is)
They stopped being worthwhile once IBM sold it to Lenovo. Still have T43P, probably the last of the great ones.

> There's been sanctions (and coups, for the first two) against those.

Not for moving away from USD, or merely talking about it.

Indeed, of those examples you cited, trying to move oil sales away from USD happened after the US imposed sanctions (and, it can be reasonably referred, in part because of the sanctions).

Svelte is what Ember could have been and where I suspect Vue is ultimately going (in their own flavor of course). If you really like templates and the constraints they bring over being closer to plain JavaScript, Svelte takes that to the most logical "extreme".

On the other hand, if you like leveraging most JavaScript features then React, Preact, Inferno, SolidJS and especially Lit are much closer to allowing developers to use any part of the language that is useful, with some exceptions for reactivity.

Lit in particular is 100% JavaScript primitives and very little sugar on top.
Agreed. Understanding what "not to do" is often times more important than understanding how to do something well.

Avoiding communism and poverty, and the human misery, poverty and 6 and 7-figure death tolls that so often come with it is far more productive than getting a certain economic or policy lever "just right".

This is similar to health where avoiding things like smoking are more important than finding the perfect diet.

Please read the link that the OP graciously provided:

> EU lawmakers agreed that the largest messaging services (such as Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger or iMessage) will have to open up and interoperate with smaller messaging platforms, if they so request. Users of small or big platforms would then be able to exchange messages, send files or make video calls across messaging apps, thus giving them more choice.
one thing I tried with dall-e was "animation strip" for xyz and "sprite sheet"

it definitely understands the concept of both of those.
Agreed, I think that's the most compelling reason why they should implement RCS.

The reporter had a huge missed opportunity not to bring this up. If you want to have adults peer pressure each other with emotional manipulation to buy your product, that's disgusting, but fine, you have the right to do that. However there's a huge ethical line that gets crossed when that's done to children. Teaching kids and teens that brand loyalty is necessary to maintain friendships and an identity is extremely toxic and stupid.
And if you haven't been hyper-focused on learning every bit of "modern JavaScript" in the last 5 years, employers definitely love to disqualify you just because you were happily working on "legacy tech" instead of catching up on React and every other JavaScript-heavy approach to Web development.

I'm bitter, and I'm not opposed to moving on and learning this stuff, but it's like employers barely understand the value of HTML/CSS relative to how much React is prioritized/used as a single qualifier.

I have "1-2 years experience" with React & friends if that matters, and I consider myself a 10 year Web development vet.
I think "need to interface with" is a bit of a stretch though. If we need to interact, it's probably a business interaction, in which case it's probably going to be via email or phone, and even if SMS is required it's going to be simple messages. Social protocol in these situations means we're unlikely to need the features like sending high-quality images or video, or reactions/stickers, etc... So we'll happily interact in a professional way, no problem at all.

However, if we're sitting around playing super mario at a mutual friend's place, and the iPhone user says something like "Oh, I'd invite you to the group chat, but you're an _android_ user, so uncool." yeah, we don't need to interface in any way, and likely won't ever be friends in any substantial way. You've just signaled you're fundamentally not a nice person, and that's all the information I need to decide if I want to spend any further time around you. There are many such other signals, some widely accepted by society and some simple personal preference. (For example if we're in the same situation and you're a heavy social drinker who just wants to go to bars I'm similarly unlikely to invest time in you as I don't drink personally.)

"talking about you behind your back" likely goes both ways. In my friend group we mercilessly mock people hanging off of Apple's every announcement and panic-buying a new phone as soon as the store comes online just because it has a feature that our android phones have had for 9 years now. I think this is just an in-group social thing that happens everywhere. Some people judge others by the sneakers they wear. The problem comes in when you lump everyone into this "other" category and treat them as lesser. I'll make fun of a iPhone user for their lack of awareness of the reality distortion field they live in, but I'll still be friends with them. (My best friend is getting the new phone that was just announced.)

Mocking someone behind their back because they don't make the same choices you do is just a fundamental signal that you're not very open minded and probably not the type of person I want to spend time with. Wear whatever shoes fit you well.
It's relevant to what I initially said. So I'm not sure how your comment relates. Maybe you just wanted to nitpick a word I used to sound smart?

I'm quite interested in seeing where slim VM's go. Personally I don't use Kubernetes, it just doesn't fit my client work which is nearly all single-server and it makes more sense to just run podman systemd units or docker-compose setups.

So from that perspective, when I've peeked at firecracker, kata containers, etc, the "small dev dx" isn't quite there yet, or maybe never will get there since the players target other spaces (aws, fly.io, etc). Stuff like a way to share volumes isn't supported, etc. Personally I find Dockers architecture a bit distasteful and Podmans tooling isn't quite there yet (but very close).

Honestly I don't really care about containers vs VMs except the VM alleges better security which is nice, and I guess I like poking at things but they're were a little too rough for weekend poking.

Is anyone doing "small scale" lightweight vm deployments - maybe just in your homelab or toy projects? Have you found the experience better than containers?
I looked into things like that before, but you really need to look at your overall consumption first. For me, it would be like removing a crumb (PC) while the loaf of bread (heating) is still there. The PC is a rounding error compared to the heating, so I would be better off focusing on insulation and preventing heat loss.

I am 100% electric, though.

The people waving their patriotism in other people's faces have, in my experience, not been doing it for the right reasons.
As I see it, people put label on things/others as a form of self-protection.

In layman's logic, someone who's already committed something bad in the past are likely to commit it again. Based on that logic, it's not completely unreasonable to use a critical point of someone's history to define that individual.

Of course it might be unfair, but the cost of error testing can be high, and your empathy might be exploited. Plus, if someone indeed did something wrong in their past, maybe they're the one who should put in the effort to redeem themselves.

That said, while I think it's not fair to judge someone based on few decisions they've made, I also don't blame labelers when they have good reasons.
Same thing is true for Mathematics.
You don't of course, it's about having a filesystem that works from floppy disk all the way to hard drive.
Ask HN: Company getting acquired, what to expect?
I'm a EU-based contractor for a US company.

Our CEO informed us that the board decided to sell the company.

- I own some options. Would I be able to exercise them?
- What are the possible outcome scenarios?
- What to expect as a remote contractor?

I would appreciate all insights, thanks
It’s surely an ironic name given the current situation.
Ask HN: What to do when getting pushed out of a job?
I have every reason to believe I am being pushed out of my salary role (USA). The writing is on the wall, management is putting together a case and starting to use "HR Speak" in Slack and Email. They point to performance but I've been in the industry for a long time and believe this is personal or there are other reasons at play.

I have never been fired before. I've gone through some coping stages already -- anxiety, depression and fear. Now, I believe I am starting to embrace it as I cannot control it and am obviously unwanted on this team. Sometimes I wish they would just fire me and get it over with.

I could move into another full-time role at a different company but hope to work for myself one day. I don't want to join a new company and leave soon after -- they don't deserve that treatment.

I do not have a lot of money saved (not good!). In fact, I will probably owe them a big chunk of the sign-on bonus (dumb mistake on my end). I have no idea about unemployment or under what circumstances one can collect.

If you've been fired, or saw it coming:

- What was your experience?
- Is there anything you wish you would have done differently?
- Any suggestions?
- Is there any remedy for the dread that keeps you up at night?
- Did you have family to support and come out the other end okay?
- How do you not laugh (in agony, of course) at the sudden change when management starts talking like they work Customer Service and have to pretend to be nice?
- Do I keep this role (less than 1 year) on my resume for future applications?

I'm trying to stay positive but this is actually very stressful to experience and has been boiling much longer than I should have let it.

(edit: list formatting)
One thing missing in RCS, it doesn't have web access (not the messages tunneling thing). I don't know whether that's by design or not. It's the only thing I want really.

Christmas itself has its roots in "pagan" tradition not Christian. More aptly Old Norse. During the conversion of Scandinavia is when this change occured. Though it appears in every cultural group similarly as the winter solstice which is not religious.
It is so crazy that someone like Kishi, who largely responsible for WW2, became politician again after WW2, then his grandson, Shinzo Abe, was also prime minister. I really don't understand why people support these politicians. I don't think the way Japanese people think of their politicians have changed before and after WW2. I just feel sad to see the current situation of this country.

More than half of People never vote. Things will never be changed. I feel so powerless.
From reading reddit, I learned that a large part was also how it simplified things. Here in the north it’s pretty straightforward, but as you can see on this map [0] it gets slightly more confusing in large parts of Germany.

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_transport_assoc...

edit: Just to explain how the north is even simpler than it looks, VGSF is not relevant and simply included in NAH.SH, and HVV has a tight cooperation with NAH.SH, so it’s often just one ticket for Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.
