Correction: Jones was concurring and Southwick was the dissent. I can’t find any evidence of how ABA ruled on Jones’ qualifications back in 1985 but it’s clear Oldham who wrote the opinion that appears first was never found “unqualified.”

If you Google Jones you will find an ethics complaint, maybe that’s what OP was thinking of. It was over a speech she gave (not recorded) and was dismissed.
Depending on the title you're watching, the subs are easier to read. Like one of the episodes from DBZ.

I have the same issue but instead of using subtitles I've embraced not knowing what's going on with the show. If it was important that I know for my enjoyment then I'm probably not watching the show anymore. Like if what the actor said was unintelligible I'm going to go with that's part of the plot, a puzzle for me to figure out on the show subreddit or something, but I'm not going to deal with the shitty blinding subtitles some shows display on blinding white over pitch OLED black, it's impossible.
I am not a lawyer, but if this puts the screws to social media, it is a beautiful thing.
The Apple TV has a setting called "reduce loud sounds" which helps with this problem. I'm sure you can find it on other devices too. My Sony TV also has a sound setting for enhanced dialogue which might help as well.

Can't really help with the actors thing, though I think I'd rather characters that are truer to life than sound like they're acting on stage, personally.
Sometimes urban legends are just fun bits of ephemera meant for entertainment (for example, scp-wiki). This is pretty much just creepypasta in the DALL-E era.
Not really. You only have to believe that there are some complex actions which, if taken on an individual level, benefit society. For example, starting a business, or skilling into a highly demanded field such as medicine. Doing these things can be highly financially rewarding, and that means that people are more likely to attempt them than they would be otherwise.

You don't have to believe the "luck begets luck", and there is certainly injustice in the way wealth lands around society, but not allowing people to become rich by taking socially-positive risks removes the marginal incentive to do so. That is, I believe, GP means by "the whole doesn't progress".
And nazi paramilitary gangs were burning people alive and shelling cities.

But no Ukraine is pure as fresh fallen snow.

The extent to which westerners have internalised a fact free vitrolic hatred of russia is downright terrifying.
I totally agree.

The sound mixes today are so far off a pleasant experience that the people who do make them should feel ashamed - How do many actually have a home cinema room with soundproofing and 20 speakers ?

Most people watch movies with a headset / a TV / 2.1 / 5.1 surround system and they may even be limited by other factors like neighbours and you know real life..

And the the voice levels is obnoxiously low and way (negatively) beyond what i would call a good experience.
>...Can we stop miscategorizing reactionary regressivism as "conservatism"

But that is conservatism though. I can't help but see the whole attempt at renaming it "regressivism" is to avoid "conservatism" from taking the fall when people look at it's outcomes. No one that would be "regressive" today was not a conservative yesterday.
The difference is that you can go to other restaurant, but social medias are so big that if you're not on twitter/facebook you might as well not exist in public view.

Of course that does not apply to smaller forums and I think that if we had laws that force social companies to not censor people they don't like (let's face it, that's exactly what they want to do), it should be limited to anything that's actually big, not random joe shmoe forum about mushrooms.
I usually search Twitter and meetup seems to have a dedicated Twitter account for support.
Sure, having a place to contact support from their website would be ideal when things go south on their website, but meeting people where they are - on Twitter for example - is also very common practice and helps others about the known issues/progress at the same time.

FYI the Zig compiler that people are still using today is the C++ one. The self-hosted compiler hasn't been released yet. There's some Zig code running today in the C++ compiler, but hasn't been there for the full life of the project and isn't the main source of bugs by far.

To this day I think the top 3 popular Zig projects are Bun, as you mentioned, then River [1] and TigerBeetle [2].

This. Stellaris intimidated me at first because of the sheer, crushing depth I saw on YouTube.

After finally jumping in I found that yes, it’s more complex than other games, but the core systems that actually drive the game forward are fun enough and you can disregard the rest until you’re ready.

Each play-through of Stellaris I’ll say something like, “okay now this time I’ll actually engage with that espionage mechanic that keeps popping up…” etc.

I’m claiming that section 230 is a fundamentally flawed construction that privatized the modern public square, while socializing the costs inherent in that privatization.

I’m not debating whether section 230 is functioning in accordance with its authors’ intentions; frankly, what they intended doesn’t matter.

Section 230 was a totally inappropriate give-away of unique privileges without requiring commiserate public value be returned in-kind, contrary to our long history of requiring that common carriers serve the public without discrimination in exchange for the unique privilege of being shielded from liability.

Do you ever use an ATM? How do you justify the possibility there’s a card skimmer in it?

You mentioned “hacks, 0-days and bugs”. I assume you’ve seen the news when big banks like capitalone got hacked. Do you believe your account is safe from any of these types of hacks because you don’t use their mobile app?

How do you justify using your phone to communicate with family members? After all, a hacker could use those people as an attack vector. Those communications, the family member email addresses, your photos and travel history and shopping history could all be used to profile you, profile them, steal your identity, etc

How do you justify using any technology whatsoever when it’s just such a scary world? Once you answer that for yourself, you’ll find the answer to your “why the hell would anybody sane” question.

https://getaether.net/docs/faq/voting_and_elections/

"When you vote in favour of a person, you are making that person a moderator for yourself, regardless of whether they win the vote or not.

In other words, you cannot vote yes for that person in public, and have them disabled as a mod in private. Your vote for a person is you making that person a mod for you. The reverse also applies, if you disable a person from being a mod, that is an impeachment vote.

Election makes it so that the people who come into a community, who have not chosen or disabled that particular mod by themselves, will use the mod list shaped by the elections. If a user has explicitly chosen a particular person to be a mod in that community, that takes precedence. Likewise, if a user has disabled a mod, that person will never be a mod for that user, regardless of the results.

If a mod you voted against (a mod you disabled / impeached / voted against) takes a mod action, that is ignored by your client, and has no effect. If a mod that you have taken no action on takes a mod action, it is accepted, but only so long as there is no action in reverse from a mod that you have explicitly voted for. If you don’t like actions of a mod you haven’t voted for is bothering you, you can easily disable that mod, and render them ineffectual."

The complexity topic from which we have P = NP is not actually about time, but number of steps.

Of course that matters physically because if you only have a machine that performs one step at a time (or a somewhat better one that performs N steps at a time, for some fixed N), then the number of steps does translate to amount of time.

If you have access to unlimited parallelism, then, for instance, some recursive algorithms that completely process a tree structure can drop from linear time to logarithmic.

I do that too - 1.5x seems to be the minimum I'll start with, and sometimes I'll go as high as 2.5x. Having subs definitely helps at the upper end of the range.

On the other hand, the downside is that when you interact with people in realtime, you constantly feel like they're speaking too slowly, and others have trouble understanding what feels like a normal speed of talking for you.

> They’re now a must-have for plenty of people without hearing loss, too, helping them better understand the audio or allowing them to multitask.

Aha! I have some answers here. Kind of, anyway.

This is something that people older than 20-something do, too, and have done their whole lives.

They're likely to do it if they grew up with the following often being true:

1) The TV is on.

2) At least some people are actually trying to watch it (it's not just "background noise")

3) The living space is fairly compact, such that if people are making noise in common areas there are no other common areas to escape to (not with a TV, anyway).

4) Bedrooms maybe don't have a TV or they aren't equipped with the same stuff as the "good" (living room, probably) TV.

5) House chaotic, lots of people around doing various things, many of these people (adults and kids alike) talking much louder than what some of us may be used to.

6) TV often in use in this same way during large gatherings (family and friends over, holidays, whatever)

In other words—drum roll—a Fussellian "Prole" (lower class) house.

But, why is this showing up in stats now? I suspect two causes:

1) "Prole" kids growing up and getting more streaming services than their parents had, plus using them more.

2) Anime has gone very, very mainstream among "the youths", so (as some others have noted) this may be expanding the set of people for whom captions seem normal beyond the ones I'm otherwise describing here.

Source: I know people for whom having the captioning on was normal when they were growing up, and they still do it because it's what they're used to, and I was in their houses when we were kids and saw why they gained that habit/preference. They're older than their 20s.

[EDIT] Others mentioned modern video sources coming with audio mixes that suck ass on most home entertainment systems—just flat-out incompatible with the reality of how most people watch TV/movies, where they want the highs (KABOOM! BLAM, BLAM!) to be much lower than the highs in a modern movie theater, plus are very likely watching on a crappy "sound bar", if not built-in stereo speakers. That could be a 3) on my list of causes, with 2 and 3 both being things other than the main phenomenon I'm describing int he rest of the post. This one would basically be the fault of movie and TV productions themselves, who aren't serving most home viewers well with the audio mixes they're providing.
VLC lets you adjust the timing of the closed captions. It's totally possible to set a delay of 2 sec.

I think it’s likely OP made an honest mistake of some sort (as opposed to an intentional deception) but I do wish he’d correct it. It was a pretty broad and dismissive statement and personally maligning the judges involved in decisions we don’t like distracts from what should be the focus of the discussion, the actual legal principles and other ideas in play here. Sometimes I worry that we may be losing the ability or willingness in this country to separate the ideas we don’t like from the people who embrace them. I think making that distinction is critical for building a rational, humane, and effective society.
It certainly does exist. CenturyLink, Level3, Frontier, Verizon and such all sell tarriffed internet access services that won't bow to pressure campaigns like this.

Out of curiosity, what problem?
140lbs is at the extreme low end for healthy 72” males.

And it is correct.

It is extremely, very, no-good bad to have excess body fat and if you are a 72” tall male who is not physically active that is where you should be.

Of course, for athletes, BMI is not relevant but those people are edge cases not worthy of discussion when you it comes to BMI.

The fact that people think it is unreasonable shows how perceptions on weight have been warped over the last 20-40 years.

At 6” tall and 140lbs you probably would have been the target audience for the “pack on some beefcake muscle with Joe Rock’s muscleman workout” ads in the back of comic books and magazines. But you would have been healthy.

The median weight of a 72” tall college-aged male in the 1950s was 167lbs. Almost exactly in the middle of the “healthy” BMI range.

> all adults in the room

Adults re overrated.

Adults are mostly small children in larger bodies. Adults will sulk, throw tantrums, be petty, feel slighted, want to always be right, want to dominate etc.

It is adults that kill, rape, maim, hurt kids, start wars, torture etc.
If a disagreement with your boss regularly leads to an argument you’re working in a bad place.
I think it's not as universal as you believe. I personally use closed captioning as a crutch when I'm half-ass watching something, because if my mind wanders and I miss hearing a line I can usually just read it without having to pause and rewind.

If I'm actually fully immersed in the movie or whatever, and I can understand the dialogue, then I don't need the captions and I leave them off.
> But the article claim it helps multitasking seems weird - how having to look at screen would help when multitasking?

You have the audio on and are doing something else with your eyes. You don't quite hear something that's been said, glance at the screen, read the captions to fill in what was missed, return your eyes to your other task.

If it was audio only, you missed whatever it was, and have to live with it or replay a little bit of content. Going back a few seconds is often a UI challenge not worth the gained context, IMHO, but if it happens a lot, might as well not be watching anything.
I had a revision of that post, but I had
it ready only just after the end of the 2
hour window for revisions.

The course pressed hard on the students to
devote, what was it, 4 hours of time a
week in group sessions with more hours
in independent study. That's asking a lot
from the students.

In response I had a lesson and purpose
in that post: (A) That collection of
fundamental algorithms hasn't changed very
fast, were much the same 40 years ago.
(B) Nearly all the algorithms are quite
simple and each one can be learned
quickly, including the derivation of its
big-O performance, and coded, running, and
tested in 2 hours or so. (C) I mentioned
Knuth v.3 as a reference: Tough to
improve on that Knuth volume as a
reference for such algorithms. (D) For
hashing, network flows (graph search),
and dynamic programming I gave really good
references -- tough to compete with any of
them. I used some of my experience to
illustrate (A) -- (D).

That lesson should be some quite good news
for any HN readers considering studying
the algorithms.

> Parts of your post also seem to me to be
quite boastful and low-value:

No, I just used some of my experience to
give examples of my points.

> You should read about dynamic arrays
more carefully. They have amortized O(1)
insertion ....

I saw all that. Get the O(1) property
only with some assumptions and some math
derivations, and I mentioned the math.

Two obvious problems:

(1) It is trivial for any of us to think
of applications where the new allocations
and copying would be wildly wasteful.

(2) For the assumptions, we will rarely
have enough information to have much
confidence in our math derivation.

We also can think of

(3) The reallocations, when there are a
lot of them, will create problems for the
memory management, garbage collection.

Sure, any of us can think of niche
situations where (a) we do a few
reallocations and (b) then go for hours,
..., months with no more reallocations and
with the advantages of arrays.

Dynamic arrays don't belong on a list of
Best Algorithms.

Again, my guess is that the interest of
the course in dynamic arrays is an
opportunity to do the math derivations.

The people that MIT course is intended for
are maybe good HN readers, so an issue for
HN readers is, should they devote a lot of
time to that course? We review movies,
restaurants, etc., and we might also
review courses.

Your attack on my review was mostly an
attack on me: You resented my post
because I mentioned some of my background
and in response attacked me. Instead,
make a good contribution of your own,
maybe as a review of that MIT course.

I'll state the basic lesson again:

The algorithms in that course are nearly
all quite good but old, with some really
good old references, and can be learned
quickly, say, the whole course in a few
weekends.
Regulatory counterweight I think may attribute outsized influence to the regressive state. I can't imagine the abortion ruling is going to have any impact on how California ever conducts itself, e.g. Even in the event of a federal ban California would likely protest and protect women's autonomy.

The articles in this paper sound an awful lot like letters to the editor: Trite complaints about non-issues and "old man's worries" about the kids today.

With the conversation article itself, the complaints he raises are overblown even looking back at it now. I've lived in many countries and traveled to many more, and one thing I've always taken note of is how and when people hold conversations: it depends almost entirely upon local culture. You're much more likely to have conversations with strangers in the countryside than in the city. You're FAR more likely to have a conversation with random Portuguese than with random Germans. Traveling Japanese are far more interesting and open than Japanese at home, whereas the opposite could be said of the British. The Vietnamese keep to themselves whereas Cambodians are happy to meet strange people. People are far more friendly in Lyon than in Paris. San Franciscans are far more likely to talk at you than with you (even vs just across the bay in Oakland).
Yes expressiveness is a crucial quality.

I'd suggest that code-as-data is in fact not a functional concept, and indeed may not necessarily be as helpful as we might like to think.

Lisp strayed from the path somewhat when it embarked on runtime enclosure (if my understanding is correct), and anyway it was never going to be as elegant as a true rewrite system.
