I'm not familiar with The Spectator but other than the title, this article contains the text "A woman in Ontario was forced into euthanasia" linking to an article with the title "Woman with chemical sensitivities chose medically-assisted death".

That seems not only misleading to me, but pure lie.
Editorially The Spectator is generally happy to ignore any poor crushed under new development with either no comment or, as evidenced by former editor, then Mayor of London, then Party PM Boris Johnson, a bumbling segue into the charm of Pepper Pig World.

Here we see faux concern used to highlight edge cases in euthanasia policy making progressives look bad while glossing over the real Tory concern; suicides paid for by a nanny state for those that should work harder and pay for their own rope.
What's your reasons?
Looks interesting.

I recently came across this newer platform Blankly with similar goals, it has great docs and easy to get started

https://github.com/Blankly-Finance/Blankly
It implies that it was a decision about Dilbert specifically, which is not true.
That's incredibly poor takeaway from the article. I couldn't see how it would be written differently by someone supporting euthanasia - would you be okay with handwaving that despite all these cases of abuse listed, it's all fine?

Of course the solution is proper social net.
Those are both reasonable attitudes.

Once you've actually successfully navigated any particular disaster scenario, you will try to avoid situations that look like they could contribute to a repeat. My wife once had a laptop stolen out of the trunk of a car; she is now hyperaware of where and how she parks and what is visible through the windows.
How can you take these polls seriously?
I don't think "euthanasia" is an ancient greek word. It is a modern neo-logism from the 17th century with the meaning of "easy death".
Yeah, thanks for the support.

I guess I need to work on my tone, less snark more helpful. It's a bit comforting at least that people like you exist, who are web developers but still didn't know this one. :)
Probably just a headline generating and testing algorithm revealing the average Spectator reader's interest in killing the poor.
any evidence of that?
From my unscientific surveys between friends I'm the only dedicated 100% only-on-the-desktop listener, so I'd guess more 5% - but maybe 10-15% for "I don't care, wherever".

Incidentally I had used JuiceReceiver for years until it stopped working (due to the SSL algos from 2005 finally giving in) and then wrote a replacement in C++/Qt with an online backend, just to track which episodes I listened to (and because it was fun, mostly).

The people that could realistically move from Russia already have. Just because all flights are fully booked doens't mean millions are willing to or able to move.

And what gas? Currently Russia is exporting a negligible amount of gas to western countries. They played that card a long time ago.

It's almost comical to talk about foresight and Russia in the same sentence without even acknowledging how blind Putin has had to have been to even have considered starting this mess.

You are misstating the issue, as are most people who talk about euthanasia. It is not a matter of having "the right to die".

First of all, we are not talking about just letting people exercise this right by killing themselves, we are talking about suggesting they do and assisting them in the process. It's much less benign.

Second, it's not a matter of having the right or not, it's about defining the worth of a human life. We do not as a matter of policy, condone suicide. On the contrary we are invested in keeping people from committing suicide, with suicide hotlines, suicide prevention efforts, mental health initiatives and so on. So it should be self-evident that the crux of the issue is not self-determination, it's categorizing which people should be helped to die and which should be prevented from dying.

When you frame it like this, it becomes a much harder question, and it raises some grave concerns with regards to the cultural and institutional value frameworks that will go into making these decisions. No one who has seriously thought about euthanasia is surprised by what is going on in Canada, it's something we've been talking about for years.
Russia has plenty of nukes for the US and Europe if Putin decides the murder-suicide path is the only way forward.

The problem with your line of thinking is that Russia needs to lose. It's citizens need to understand that it has lost. Germany after WWI didn't and it gave rise to the stab in the back myth and nationalism. If Russia is allowed to spin anything as a victory here, it and it's citizens would learn nothing and it will just be a truce. Not to mention how extremely unfair would be to deny Ukraine it's integrity to placate Russia, a violent genocidal invader.

I mistook boards, for mcat. He obviously had a decent mcat since he got into a medical school.
For me, the mechanics change too much from the way that I remember playing the game.

I like to play druid single or multiclasses the most in Baldur's Gate. Spell mechanics changed a lot for a few signature spells. For example the entangling roots spell in BG1 was more effective, while EE uses the more annoying BG2 version of the spell.

In BG1, when summoning animals, you'd get a lot of summons, but in EE you'd get very few.

There's possibly some other changes as well, but I haven't verified. For example in BG2 a player will get experience when learning spells or disarming traps and I'd imagine it's the same in EE.

In the end I feel the EE version doesn't align with the vision the devs had for BG1. I'm fine with BG2 having BG2 mechanics (BG2 is an excellent game as well), but I feel it's not appropriate for BG1.

Also, I don't think the NPCs that were added by Beamdog fit the game. The voice acting just isn't as great. Just encountering these NPCs (even when not adding them to my party) annoys me.

Maybe EE just isn't for me since I played the original game and it deviates to much from my initial experience so long ago ...
To generate soft x-rays/UV you don't really need an accelerator, since high voltage (not that high actually, since required kilovolts can easily be achieved) is enough to produce photons of those energies.

Vaporization you mention is likely because of electrons hitting the material, since in any case to emit photons electrons need to be slowed down. Either electrical potential difference in a vacuum chamber or an actual accelerator is being used, the material to brake electrons will evaporate anyway.

That's not deathcamps. Same argument could be made for Ukrainian conscripts being thrown into battle just as poorly equipped. And it still wouldn't be deathcamps.

> There is also evidence of farmers being forced to work occupied land for free.

A solid one? I've already seen enough "evidence" of Russians eating babies and stealing asphalt and toilets.

> Already mentioned this elsewhere in thread.

Sorry, if there are no specifics, I won't be trying to guess.

Post-Soviet military frictions due to completely idiotically handled dissolution process are so full of myths and legends and are such a complex topic, that in practice most people have no actual idea.

Take for example Georgia of 2008, for which the "common knowledge" is so vastly different from the UN investigation conclusion.
Were those prioritized? I would have put velocity first,then will devs like it. Those are coupled. If they like it, it is less important if you can hire people who know it already, and likewise, if your velocity is high, maintainability becomes less important.

All those are subject to physical constraints though. Much of the worlds code is embedded, and thus severely constrained in both compute and power. That limits your choices, but within those choices your criteria are still absolutely the correct ones.

Some people insanely detest being manipulated - even if it is for their own good (that's at least what the manipulating person claims). I personally observe this "manipulation-detesting" character trait in particular to be prevalent in hacker circles.

By the way: this is also a reason that I see why so many hackers date differently from the typical population since dating is about manipulating the other side to love one.

>The solution shouldn't be to force them to live a long life through government enforced misery, should it?

This misrepresents the original article, which argues that the legalizing euthanasia was predicted to cause people who couldn't afford proper care to kill themselves – be it by coercion or choice – a prediction which seemingly has been proven right here.

There are no pro/con "right to death" arguments being made in the article, only that these consequences are grim and indeed promotes behaviour of an "uncaring cost optimizer pushing death on the poor".
The point about proxy detection explains it as abuse in the form of ban circumvention.
Russia has a long history of producing excellent programmers and software engineers, I'm not sure where you get the idea this is where they were outpaced by the rest of the world.

If I had to attribute one thing to Russia's downfall, it would be its geopolitical decision to align itself with China and Iran in global anti-Western sentiment, rather than moving towards joining the rest of the West and the EU as some countries hoped they would back in the 90s.
To offer a singular data point, contrary to other posters here, I am not seeing this at all, and I pretty actively use my two Gmail addresses which have been active since 2005. My spam inbox regularly gets correctly categorized spam, and important emails still correctly land in my inbox.
Whenever I see a scheme like this, I want to ask "what's the quality of the beam?" Particle physics experiments, particularly colliders, need beams that are not just energetic, but also extremely bright, so the particles can be focused down to tiny spots to get sufficiently high collision rates. The particle energies must also be within a narrow range, the narrower the better.

The proton bunches in the LHC are just 2.5 microns wide. They have to be to get the luminosity high enough.
I meant some type of board exam, not mcat. Got the words mixed up.

> Hacktoberfest is an October-long celebration to promote contributions to the free and open-source software communities. In 2020, participants were encouraged to submit four or more pull requests to any public free or open-source (FOS) repository, with a free "Hacktoberfest 2020" T-shirt for the first 75,000 participants to do so. The free T-shirts caused thousands of frivolous pull requests on FOS projects.

For comparison, this is the same price as O365 (Microsoft Office) or Google Workspaces.

If you can't profitably grow this tool for, say, $1.00/user, you may want to rethink your approach. Realistically a stack to do this should cost almost nothing per user/month to create or maintain.
Indeed, big companies often do disaster prepareness exercises from a business continuity point of view. I remember doing one 15 years ago at a Big 4 accounting firm. Failing everything (including my little bit) across to secondary site in another city, and it had to be done by someone other than me (since I was the main person responsible for my system).

It’s been like this for a year. I don’t use Google services outside of work, but my mom has early Alzheimer’s disease, and emails about outstanding debts or free gift cards can confuse her sometimes.

People deserve the government they have.
Hardware protection against this class of attacks seems relatively straightforward... simply have a few wire loops snaking around most of the die. Then measure the voltage on those wires, and if they ever go too high or too low, reset the CPU.

Also... The CPU needs to have brownout detection to detect people messing with the supply voltage, and clock glitch detection to detect inconsistent clocking inputs.

All that I think could be added with no major downsides (it wouldn't use a lot of silicon area or power).

How come this design didn't already have that?
>That seems not only misleading to me, but pure lie.

Did you bother to read the article about the woman, or just the headline? From the linked article:

A 51-year-old Ontario woman with severe sensitivities to chemicals chose medically-assisted death after her desperate search for affordable housing free of cigarette smoke and chemical cleaners failed, advocates say.
...
“The government sees me as expendable trash, a complainer, useless and a pain in the a*," 'Sophia' said in a video filmed on Feb. 14, eight days before her death, and shared with CTV News by one of her friends.
She died after a frantic effort by friends, supporters and even her doctors to get her safe and affordable housing in Toronto. She also left behind letters showing a desperate two-year search for help, in which she begs local, provincial and federal officials for assistance in finding a home away from the smoke and chemicals wafting through her apartment.
Ohhh that's actually quite a neat idea, if it could be incorporated in a way that more immediately suggests "select language" that would be cool. As a non-graphic-designer I don't know how possible that is :)
To me, there is a huge difference between "negative feedback" -- I don't think any project is saying you can't reply something like "This PR should not be merged, because there are significant problems. For example, line Q causes a memory leak, and lines A-B are so complicated I can't figure out if there is a buffer overflow or not". If you have examples where this kind of factual complaints are causing people to get banned, let me know.

As a concrete example, I consider myself a reasonable coder -- I've contributed to a bunch of projects, including gcc. I've stopped contributing to projects (including gcc) because I got feedback which wasn't helpful, but was either hostile or at minimum extremely unhelpful. Did they want rid of me? Maybe so, but they certainly kept all the code I'd submitted, much of it to the current day.
The suicides have always been happening. It's just been illegal to help someone kill themself safely and painlessly. It's just like any other harm reduction. Making something in demand illegal won't make the demand disappear, it just moves the activity into the unregulated and usually perilous shadows.

Show HN: Uptime monitoring for the web in your command line
Hello HN!

I would like to show you a tool I made for sysadmins, developers, web entrepreneurs, and all of us in between these categories who care for the uptime and performance of our web services. Binocs [1] is an Uptime Monitoring tool for people who spend their workdays on the command line and are obsessed with accuracy and reliability.

When I started using the existing uptime monitoring solutions for the services my team and I were responsible for, I thought the world didn't need another such tool. Then I changed my opinion, as I became disappointed by the reliability and general quality of the existing tools. I tried to make an uptime monitoring tool that is reliable and fits the modern dev/ops toolkit.

Binocs provides the standard features you might expect from an uptime monitoring tool, plus a modern command-line interface [2] and a Terraform provider [3]. Binocs gives makers of the internet 24/7 insight into the availability of the services they care for and notifies them - via the usual communication channels such as SMS, Telegram, or Slack - if any of these services become, for whatever reason, unavailable. Binocs monitors uptime, apdex, and response time (broken down to its basic components) from any custom set of geolocations the user selects for each check.

There are binaries available for major platforms and architectures [4].

Binocs is written in Golang and relies on TimescaleDB for storing and aggregating time-series data. The solution is highly redundant and hosted on AWS (hybrid deployment is on the roadmap). The algorithm meticulously strives to eliminate both false positives and false negatives.

If you want to try Binocs, only an e-mail address is required to sign-up. We use passwordless authentication. Every new account gets 250k free credits [5].

You can also watch a short video demo [6].

Any feedback is much appreciated, and I'm, of course, open to technical questions as well.

Maybe I missed something. it looks like this "ban" was only for three months (further down the PDF email thread).
Not quite. Russia has already lost several multiples of the total losses it experienced in Afghanistan as the USSR (many of which were Ukranian btw). The USSR had a lot more troops vs. Russia's current situation which is really a smaller peacetime army (pre mobilization).

The reason they had to leave Afghanistan was it simply too expensive due to the cost and the sanctions and they couldn't afford to do it. Which IS what is happening in Ukraine too.
Russia calls up 300k reservists, says 6k soldiers killed in Ukraine
Kerrisk (LPI's author) covers this question here: https://man7.org/tlpi/faq/index.html#tlpi_2e

TL;DR: the book remains highly useful twelve years later, and I expect it will for another six to twelve.

After that, it's such a brick that it's going to be an excellent monitor base. If we still have monitors then, that is.
World war by itself would benefit military industry directly. That's not saying that they wish for WW3 in any means as the destruction (or crippling) of society would be huge and it would take many years to recover.

WW3 does not necessarily mean nukes at all. I personally think - based on how Russian generals used the military funding to enrich themselves - that most of the Russian nukes are not operational. They might have some low-yield "tactical" nukes (something like nuclear grenades). And I seriously doubt that US would use theirs since as soon as you use nukes, everyone will and after that there is no winner anymore.

No doubt you read the graphs right after this statement? Look at the green dots (the ratio between energy consumption and time taken). Nearly all languages have comparable ratios, meaning a lower execution time leads to less energy consumed.

> this is not always the case

Just almost all the time, with a few exceptions. Execution time and energy consumption are very strongly correlated.

Time taken is the single biggest factor in how much power is consumed in modern CPUs. The idea is to complete any task quickly and put the idle cores to sleep to conserve power.
I know where it comes from, don't worry :-)
I’ve noticed some of the best experts in their field started out as generalists (e.g., Edward Witten).

My theory is that exploring a wide range of interests and areas allows you to come up with novel ideas that a strict specialist would not think of. I believe there was some research at one point on how Nobel prize winners in science have a significantly greater variety of hobbies than the average person.
This article specifically targets an AMD-SP (Secure Processor); would you consider that a "secure element"?

Also, from the article: "The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is equipped with a glued, indium-soldered nickel-plated copper heat spreader. This heat spreader shields the EM pulses and has to be disassembled, which is called delidding or decapsulation, and consists of three steps: First, the glue at the heat spreader’s border must be cut. Second, the processor and heat spreader have to be heated up to a temperature of 200°C."

If a regular CPU already contains an effective EM shield, is it fair to say it's "wide open to FI attacks"? (Or at least EMFI as discussed in this article.?)
