my Old Church Slavonic is pretty rusty (well, nonexistent), but "mnogo" looks like modern Russian много (many), and the -imi I guess would be instrumental plural like -ими? but Russian for "eye" is глаз or око. I'm guessing oč -> око, and it's a compound word? or is the č an infix, something like "ogo" is eye, and mnogoočimi is such because the two -og-s (one from mnog and the other from go) fuse because "mnogoögočimi" would be awkward to pronounce?

>is it not entirely plausible that there should be disparities in police statistics even when police act appropriately 100% of the time?

The National Crime Victimization Survey says yes. Also any article you see trying to debunk FBI crime stats but doesn't mention the NCVS (and how the NCVS largely corroborates the FBI stats) is either ignorant or willfully deceiving you.
The C/C++ people hate it when you call it C/C++.
I do pseudo code sometimes too. I notice that your functions/methods/whatever are verbs that are assigned to nouns. It reminds me of:

Verbs in Javaland are responsible for all the work, but as they are held in contempt by all, no Verb is ever permitted to wander about freely. If a Verb is to be seen in public at all, it must be escorted at all times by a Noun.

> - What average user side loads apps? That would be like asking to sideload apps on your microwave -- it's just impractical and not the commonplace behavior. I understand this is HN, but still. Sideloading apps is a minor complaint for a minority: Google report recently showed 0.06 of users sideload apps, globally. Paltry.

Does it matter? The capability exists. I can and have downloaded F-Droid and can easily download open-source free-from-Google apps without ever interacting with the Play Store. That's impossible on iPhone. If side-loading doesn't matter, then why doesn't Apple just allow it? Why the big hoopla?

> - If you don't like the Apple browser (Safari) you're more than welcome to use Firefox and Chrome if you'd like and make adjustments to make it the default browser.

Except you can't. Apple forces you to use Safari even if you install Firefox, Chrome etc. It's just reskins, not the actual browser. Safari is the new IE. An old, aging, out-of-date browser existing only so Apple can force their users into the prison of the App Store.

> - They should be allowed to expand on their own OS. Claiming they can't because it "competes" with other apps is just not true, frankly. I think of the recent medications app. Does what most other junk medication apps do in the app store but 100X. Now I don't have to pay $19.99 for a "good" app (which frankly, sucks) I can just use the app Apple has.

In other words, the big mega-corp can destroy competition as long as you don't have to pay $20 and can keep feeding the beast. Apple has stolen the concepts, ideas of apps that are well-loved by consumers, pretending that it's just apps that suck is disingenuous. Apple is not some saviour coming in to create better apps. They're stealing from competition and forcing them out of business.

It's a trillion dollar business, they should not be allowed to constantly destroy perfectly fine businesses. It leads to a crappy, non-competitive market.
> We are hearing reports that Apple is continuing their hostile path of pairing parts to the phone, requiring activation of the back glass after installation.

Hopefully that's not the case. Why go through the effort of a redesign like this if you're just going to continue handicapping repairs that way? Clearly it wasn't a marketing gimmick since they haven't mentioned it at all.

Reading through this article made me really start to consider buying a new iPhone. I've had my mind set on switching to Android for the past year, but a pro-repair pro-planet move like this needs to be rewarded in the marketplace, and I'll be telling everyone I know to get a 14.

"china cloud seeding results"

What I got was lots of hits about how China was going to build a weather modification infrastructure - something like half dozen or more years ago.But, the hits continue with more recent ones about how they are going to do more seeding.

Still, is it safe to infer from any lack of evidence that it failed?

I don't know, but when you study those hits, you do find hits which suggest that cloud seeding doesn't work.

This is a meta-game for Carlsen. He likes playing games with rules, and he is probably enjoying himself. How do we tell the difference between HN comments by people ignorant of this particular meta-game, and insightful commentary by highly skilled meta-players?

I experienced this a lot as a kid. Adults tend to leave out a lot of context in their answers to children. Often, it seems like they don’t even try to see the question from the child’s point of view. For instance, I didn’t do well in school. When I asked adults why doing well was necessary, they would give answer along the lines of “if you don’t do well, then the only job you’ll be able to get is as a janitor.” Perhaps that’s true, (or not?) but the answer was largely devoid of meaning to me as a child.

It's been ages since I last looked but IIRC Visual Studio is still the go-to and only real option for oldschool win32 programming (i.e. native windows, COM, etc.). I'm sure there are plugins and machinations to make VS Code competent at win32 too but for some companies and shops they're sticking to Visual Studio.
How Jay came to know where the car was parked is indeed confusing -- because it's hard to believe how the cops could know about it before him, which would presumably be a prerequisite for the cops conspiring with Jay to frame Adnan.

But according to the state's motion to vacate[0], the car was parked near the home of one of the current alternate suspects, i.e. one of the suspects whose existence the cops and district attorney for unknown reasons, illegally withheld from the defense. So I can't explain why Jay would know where Hae's car was parked, but that mystery is ultimately superseded by the mystery of the police's handling of the alternate suspects.

The main argument of the decision is simple: If Twitter can close your account for disagreeing with you, for say, supporting LGBT, then the phone company, etc., can too. And this right to crush disagreement comes from the first amendment!?

Is censorship free speech, like war is peace and freedom is slavery? Does the first amendment just mean that censorship is in the corporate layer instead of the state layer?
Chrome and Firefox on Windows is also limited to 720p so it's on par. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23931
Firefox is a legitimate alternative, it works for >99% of the world's websites and is an actual alternative i.e. not a clone of Chrome. I've been using it for nearly the last 5 years full-time and have never needed to open Chrome. I am not sure how one can pretend otherwise, so no, I don't think just saying it's "bad" and ignoring it as an alternative is viable.

Do some Google websites perform worse on Firefox? Sure, but the entire reason that's because people don't use Firefox enough i.e. some websites are worse on Firefox. You just go around and around. If the audience of HN is not able to make that sacrifice (not use some of the GOOG's website) then we deserve the monopoly of Chrome.

Other than that, I also think we need a third alternative for Browsers. Ladybird is in the news these days, and if you're a dev and care about this issue, we should all be contributing to it.

I agree about your clone comment ala Brave, and so on.
It's an unfalsifiable statement, so it needs to be examined with caution.
Fair enough - I will admit to finding plugins for chrome and the like for gesturing, so I can see how that's useful if it's unified across many programs in the Mac ecosystem.
> So I think maybe it's both. However I still like the idea of starting with me and maybe a few others who really really want to get better at it and maybe influence by osmosis.

That's how I approach this too.
Substitue any comment that tells you something which the code cannot tell you[1], to see why "competent programmers understand the language thoroughly" is not a good justification for being against comments.

this is one of the reasons it may be best to find another method.

one I thought of is to rank all the squares from most-used to least-used, then assign each of them a Morse code, simplest first. 64 squares is 2^6, so the maximum length input you would ever need is six. given a usage frequency for each of the squares, you could calculate your average input length by the sum of all len(square_code) * square_frequency divided by 64.

assuming all squares are the same frequency (1/64), it's just the sum of all len(square_code) divided by 64, which I believe comes out at 322/64 = 5.03125, although I could be wrong about that.

this makes your maximum necessary input per move 12 bits, but your average will be lower, depending on the frequency distribution of squares. (ignoring castling and en-passant for a moment) this is 2 bits more than using a piece+target square technique

Back in ~2014, I had a newish 32Gb USB3 flash drive. At that time, premium mainboards had FireWire headers for front panel connectors, on board as well as USB2. Both are 2x5 headers and can easily be smashed on if the connector keying isn't really well done. The FireWire header can deliver 12v (apparently it can be "8-30v" but real PCs tended to deliver the voltage they had available). You can see where this went.

After being inserted in, the drive was dead on USB2. On USB3 it would work for a few minutes at a time. This became relevant when I discovered the drive still worked in that few-minutes-at-a-time fashion in 2021 and contained my old wallet with 30,000 Dogecoin on it.

Yeah for sure! Initially I had tried to do something like this, hit a roadblock and just went with the 1 line input in order to get a v1 out. Definitely something I'd consider as I continue to iterate on it.
What would be really awesome (although likely means ripping apart jq) would be some intermediate query caching. I often browse through large-ish (~1-2GB) JSON files and do something similar to the example animation in that I repeatedly filter and look for something. It would be awesome if it were smart enough to reasonable cache "filter A" when later reasoning about "filter A and filter B".

Still really great as-is, will definitely use it.
I certainly haven't spent thousands and I do feel like anyone that's spending $1000's on a video game is pretty far gone anyways to be perfectly honest.

As for the game play, I can only speak for myself, but I mean I'm having fun, so that's enough for me. I also only picked it up during the pandemic, so progress has appeared to be far faster from my perspective than those following along for 10+(?) years.
It doesn't matter about the US military, because the gold market doesn't have to prop up the US military - it gets that ride for free. The point isn't "who is cheaper" in some theoretical sense, it's that as a practical matter the nation of Bitcoinia is importing a large amount of electricity from the USD, RMB, EUR etc economies. This is equivalent in effect to what the gold market as a whole has to pay in storage/holding costs for physical gold. If physical gold holding costs were to rise substantially for some reason, that would significantly reduce the returns available from holding gold.

This is a thought-provoking take (as someone who really thinks open source devs have no obligation to their users). It is clearly possible to abuse that -- just dump the software necessary to use your product into open source ecosystem, abdicating responsibility while still technically supporting your product.

I dunno. I'd say that this still doesn't establish a customer/provider type obligation -- the open source code is still offered without any quality guarantees -- but it is entirely fair (and reasonable) to be extremely skeptical of a company that doesn't offer a contract-defined paid relationship for support.
The post should be amended to reflect the full title: "An extremely opinionated guide on making friends for people who are exactly like me"
I was waiting for this question :)

I think it should be quite straight forward but it's more the deployment and maintenance I'm conscious of.

Mac and Windows (to an extent) both have app stores which can handle hosting, auto-updates, etc, though for Linux I'd have to build a bit of that myself. That also complicates platform specific dev / testing / deployment, and as this is a side project I'm conscious of time.

But if there's demand and things go well, I could be persuaded to release on another platform!
How does Apple allow the use of keyloggers with in-app browsers? That sounds like something they could easily say no to.
Podcasts have been a thing since the mid-2000s or so. The name comes from the fact that you were supposed to download them and listen to them on your iPod. It may be a popular, influential podcast that established norms for the true-crime podcast format, but calling it the podcast that launched all podcasts is like calling JavaScript the language that launched all languages.
One big thing about MV3 is that background script, persistent or not, is no more. You have a web worker that can start afresh at any point, outside your control. So variables assigned asynchronously outside your event handler (which must be registered synchronously at the top level) scope don’t work reliably.

This is undoubtedly true in my experience.

If the shared interest is goal orientated, like a team sport competition, or rehearsing toward a performance with an amateur theater group, then friendships are more likely to develop than not.

Also, if you are open to letting other people teach you stuff. ie: New skills, facts, or viewpoints -- they will tend to hold a favourable opinion of you, and it makes the whole process a breeze.
A case could be made to consider libraries systems programming, as the "system" is often more than just the kernel. If you have libraries doing the heavy lifting of all that, then the language on top that calls into those libraries for the bulk of the intensive work matters quite a bit less.

You cut off right before it got interesting. It's more than scholars chafing at the notion that their work might be flawed. It's that nobody other than the reviewers had grappled with the paper yet, making this talk of debate entirely manufactured.
