> OK but it is fiction. Not real. I'm sure we are all agreed on that.

Yes, it's fiction, but the comment you were replying to mentions Alan Moore's foreword to his work where he mentions the context in which he created the comic -- and that context was the despair and hopelessness he felt in the UK of the 70s and 80s.

Alan Moore is talking about the reality that inspired his fiction (and in fact, mentions how his fiction fell short of what actually happened next).

> I'm not too sure how important V for whatevs is. It's a story.

"V for whatevs"? You are being needlessly dismissive. Alan Moore is a highly influential and political comics book author whose work has a lot to say about the 70s and 80s. Just like punk was also a reflection and a product of its era.
I understand the idea but what are you proposing we do?

I think it is that simple. Those effects are the reason the drag coefficient is changing, you don't need to account for that twice.

I feel like you are confusing copyright law with contract law.

I can purchase Minecraft without agreeing to any EULA. It only appears after you download the launcher.

Here are the two types of unconscionability:

The basic test applied for unconscionability is “whether, in light of the
general background and the needs of a particular case, the clauses
involved are so one-sided as to be unconscionable under the
circumstances existing at the time of the making of the contract”.

Substantive unconscionability looks to the actual terms of the

agreement, while procedural unconscionability focuses on the manner

in which the contract was negotiated and the circumstances of the
parties at the time of formation. Procedural unconscionability may be
shown by either an inequality in bargaining power or unfair surprise.
This may be evidenced by terms that are unreasonably favourable to
one party, terms hidden in the contract, or where one party has
substantially lower education levels. Substantive unconscionability
may be shown by an overly harsh allocation of risks or unjustifiable
costs or a great price disparity. Where a court finds that a contract or
clause is unconscionable at the time it was made, it can refuse to
enforce the contract or limit the application of that clause to avoid an
unconscionable result.

It is not the EULA that allows me to use the software. The software can be naturally executed and used. The EULA then comes around and coerces me to agree to it if I want to get past an install screen. While the actual software is already in my posession, which is the only thing copyright law regulates. Copying and redistribution.
Exactly.

It's fun when HN thinks what they read in the media actually represents the situation at hand.

I was once involved with a pretty high profile issue at a major corporation such that it was reported in the media. It was entertaining seeing the "analysis" in the media which bore no resemblance to what was actually happening on the ground.

If you don't think Musk had dozens of back channels into Twitter, you're fooling yourself. Not to say Musk doesn't just shoot from the hip on things - he does, but I would not be shocked in the least if he pretty much knew how Twitter was run long before making his offer.
servers I'd consider "kid friendly" already have their own chat moderation so it's a non-issue if you restrict your kids to playing only on those servers (if you don't chat reporting solves nothing since anarchy & co will disable chat signing server side).
Off-topic, but learning about classic examples of operationalization is when I realized that mostly psychology isn't a real science (yet). I believe the canonical example involved me learning the phrase "bobo doll".
There are now "transparent zinc oxide" sunscreens as well. See Dermstore[0] for EltaMD brand products. They grind the zinc oxide to much smaller particle sizes and it still blocks UV but doesnt reflect visible light nearly as much (like 99% reduction in white color).

I love it a lot. Zinc Oxide is great for being a true "sunblock" (rather than merely "sunscreen") of broad-spectrum UV (instead of just UVA or just UVB/UVC). Also doesn't interact with endocrine system like many of the chemical sunscreens.

Performance improving techniques to make Spark Joins 10x faster
RR is not some contract designer. It is one of less than a handful of engine designer/manufacturers that could do it. This is more like asking some combination of Intel/AMD/Nvidia to design a custom chip and TSMC/Samsung to build it for you.

Sure RR would love to do preliminary investigation. But what is the opportunity cost for RR to design and manufacture these engines versus devoting those resources to engines for Boeing and Airbus? How many of each does it project it can sell? What harm would it do to RR if it were to fall behind P&W on jet engines for commercial jets?
Ergonomics for computerists: two and a half analogies
I've designed a ultrafine analogic lesson for explaining ergonomics to my non designer peers. But beware! This is philosophy, not your average tutorial. As the quote attributed to Alexandre Dumas goes: "Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy.”
This is awesome. It is funny how humans pop up in images before they are "created" in Genesis though.
Thanks for sharing this writeup, Valentina!

>If you have any suggestions for improvement

Not GP, but I struggled to follow some parts due to passive voice.[0] There were a lot of sentences that omit the actor of the sentence, so I had a hard time understanding which component performed which action.

For example:

>If specified in flags, descriptors can be chained together with next containing the descriptor table index of the chained descriptor. virtio-vsock, buffers in a descriptor chain are used to construct a vsock packet. Something to note at this point: the buffer information in the descriptor comes from the guest, and it should be treated as untrusted.

So when I read that, I have to mentally walk back and figure out:

* can be chained together -> Who chains descriptors together?

* are used to construct a vsock packet -> Who constructs the packet?

* should be treated as untrusted -> Who should treat it as untrusted?

From context, I can figure these things out, but the Firecracker/kernel concepts you're explaining are occupying most of my mental bandwidth. Any bandwidth you can free up with simpler sentences makes it easier for me to focus on the main subject of the blog.

A Guide on Implementing an Effective SAST Workflow
I am not all sympathetic to Oberlin, but this judgement is absurd. It is many many lifetimes of income for a small bakery. Even if they were forced into bankruptcy, this is beyond the pale.

"The latest amount consists of about $5 million in compensatory damages, nearly $20 million in punitive damages, $6.5 million in attorney’s fees and almost $5 million in interest."

This only contributes to our litigious society where lawyers get rich through shakedowns, and we as citizens and consumers shoulder the price either through increased overhead that is passed on to us, or ever more absurd disclaimers and risk mitigation measures to prevent from frivolous suits.

So I am glad Oberlin lost overall, but the size of this judgement makes me very sad.
What a save!

It’s amazing how from the launch of the game that quick chat has pretty much only been used sarcastically.
It's Chuck E Cheese's. Pretty sure that is a private business. They can mostly do what they want in most jurisdictions. If you want to censor communication in your own home, go for it.

> You can simply mod servers so that they don't have this chat reporting.

This will keep people from getting banned on your server, but it doesn't do anything to help all of the people who have already been banned.
the president isn't very visible. Probably quite a few Germans who aren't politically interested couldn't tell you who holds the office. But nonetheless when there's big social disagreements, anything extremely divisive or a crisis the president usually will have something to say, to unify people somewhat. Ideally the president is sort of like the moral consciousness or representative of the country as a whole. Also it depends on the person. Gauck our last president who was a Lutheran Pastor was quite outspoken on moral questions or democratic issues and somewhat of a divisive figure, the current president is more of a former career politician and much less so.
Fun! One of my college networking classes had us write a file transfer program. Except the server was buggy (on purpose!) and it would corrupt bits here and there. They had a public leaderboard of people who could transfer the most amount of data over this very lossy link.

I originally was planning to implement some sort of forward error correction but then realized I could just use UDP and hammer the server with duplicate packets. Not very elegant but got me close to the top of fastest transfer speeds over a lossy link.
These rules mostly exist not because there is a grand plan to stifle discussion, but because time and time again you see these sort of arguments devolve into low quality material that takes over the entire space.
> >You can always rewrite software. Rewriting bad data is not only difficult but often impossible.

> Isn't that an argument against FKs?

No, it's an argument for FK checks.

> It's easier to rewrite the software to handle FKs

Except once you have that bad data, you don't know what to do to fix it in whatever language your app is coded in any more than you do than in SQL. Once you know that, you can just as well do it in SQL as in any other language. Or, if it's just that you know that language better than the SQL language, by all means write a separate one-time fix-the-data app in that language, run it once to fix the data...

And then enable the FK checks so you won't have to do it again.

> than to deal with trying to setup FKs with bad data since it's difficult to fix.

Which is why you want FK checks in your DB from the beginning.

I'm a Paramedic in a California county that isn't even that far from San Francisco and we have a LOT of mountain range area with zero cell service at all. Even worse, our Motorola radios don't work up in the same hills either. We frequently get very vague and difficult to pinpoint locations for car accidents, medical emergencies, etc.

Now someone that is in a wreck or sees one can stay put and contact emergency services with a way more accurate location, and I think that's awesome.

This is honestly a bafflingly ignorant comment. The British royalty are responsible for reprehensible acts against humanity. To pretend as if the queen is no different than any other person undermimes centuries of oppression by the British empire.
Python was an obscure algorithms language until Google standardized around it, if they hadn’t we wouldn’t be talking about it. Not to say it’s good or bad since that’s silly and evaluating languages is complex and context sensitive, but IMHO Python isn’t popular because it’s great, even if it is.
I think this is probably an autistic take on this, but I think we care way to much about exposing kids to mean words and mean people. Again, perhaps an autistic take, but being bullied (badly) as a kid was easily the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of mental resilience.

Imagine we got into an argument and I got angry and called you a "smelly poo poo", you'd probably just laugh because despite what I'm saying being mean and profanity it's also such an insignificant insult that it borders on comical. But to a kid that might actually be quite offensive and hurtful and that's because they haven't built a tolerance.

I suspect this might be why a lot people today feel that words can be violent - they simply haven't built up a tolerance for offensive speech. And sometimes in the real world people can be offensive and mean.

Another thing I'll add here is that in the UK working class guys really like to insult each other. Given the types of individuals who browse HN I know most here won't relate to this, but it's actually kinda fun to be a dick to your friend. And further I'd argue that guys actually bond in part by playfighting and teasing each other. I get that what I'm saying here is very context dependent, but some of the best times of my childhood was playing video games with my friends and saying all kinds of horrid stuff to them. If I had to guess 80% of the stuff we'd say to each other on voice chat was insults but it was hilarious.

Kids are way stronger than we tend to think. If you teach a kid they're a victim because someone said something mean then they'll probably believe it and see themselves as a victim. On the other hand, if you act like mean words are no big deal and that sometimes people can be mean then they'll probably grow up much better prepared to handle the real world. At least in my experience / opinion.

BTW, Advanced Logic Research (ALR) also had an early '386 PC, in what looked like a mostly generic AT clone case, around the same time as the Compaq Deskpro 386. (News around the time was confusing, with both ALR and Compaq being called first.)
That is what punitive damages are - they are not required to be connected to the size of the damage, they are meant to punish the defendant for royally (in the judge's view) fucking up, and send a message to other similar defendants to not do such things

And $5M in compensatory damages seems about right for 2 years of a successful small bakery
your webpage is down
The judgment is mostly punitive damages and legal fees. Which seem warranted. A university with a billion dollar endowment manufactured claims of racism to destroy a small business. It didn’t just hurt the bakery, but the community at large. Manufacturing racism for political ends is socially harmful conduct just like the other sorts of conduct that warrants punitive damages.
How to use Redis pub/sub to handle socket.io sessions across multiple instances?
When we use socket.io we are generally trying to publish messages to all the collaborators of the workspace in an application even though the origin of the message was one of the collaborator specially in a collaborative application.

In this scenario where a server must convey its message to multiple users, a socket client creates a room and adds users to this room. when any change (like app update , new comment) happens in this room that particular change must be conveyed to all the members of the room.

The information, that there is a room called xyz and there are some collaborators say a, b, c in the room is stored by a socket instance on a particular server instance.

When multiple instances of the application or server are created a new instance of socket is also created for the new instance of application. Now, when the changes of a room comes to this server this instance does not know about the room created by previous instance and also does not know about the members / collaborators of the room. Therefore new server instance can’t send the changes to those connected to the existing server. I have tried to explain the problem visually here.

Someone replied to his tweet by saying he should let Apple know there is a problem.

That he won't even let Apple know that there is a problem, but is happy to let the world know about it on Twitter makes me wonder about his motives and the veracity of his single tweet story.

That's because people were mostly voting against Trump than voting for Biden. Biden was never super popular; Trump is one of the most hated men on the planet.

While that is true, it's not typically how the phrase "Australia's history" is interpreted.

It's common for "Australia's history" to refer to pre-colonisation in addition to the last couple of hundred years.

This is almost certainly because Australians see the country and the continent as 'the same' for all intents and purposes.
