Given this particular email is hosted on his own website it seems unlikely that it's "the worst".

On the other hand, the exact terminology used in the details of the ban here[0] do lean toward the less severe side of CoC violations. It seems likely that it was death-by-a-thousand-papercuts (frequent & persistent small violations coupled with an evident unwillingness to accept feedback), rather than one big blowout incident as is more often seen with such bans.

> Would you rather hire someone that solves your "exact" problem, or the one-man Army that -could- do everything? Which matters to you?

Well . . . people always assume they have the answers, so they've designed an exact position to do what they think they need.

But if they need it and can't fulfill the need themselves, they probably don't know what they need.

The company, composed of vain people, is more likely to hire someone that solves their "exact" not-really-problem.
" They made true claims of election fraud part of their platform. "

What claims of substantial fraud in multiple states have been proven? The statement below is from the source document. This is an official republican party document.

"We believe that substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States. We strongly urge all Republicans to work to ensure election integrity and to show up to vote in November of 2022, bring your friends and family, volunteer for your local Republicans, and overwhelm any possible fraud."
One more reason to use an ad blocker for YouTube. I even use on my (android) "smart" TV. The open source app I use is smartyoutubetv. Occasionally it gets broken, but then a fix is usually an update away. It skips not just ads, but intros, self promotion, "please subscribe to this channel" etc (assuming creators tag their content properly). Basically it is YouTube premium for free.

An interesting thing I noticed is than initially when I used the app)(with the same YouTube profile) I would get worse video suggestions. These days they are the same in YouTube app as well as smartyoutubetv.

Another interesting observation is that if the app breaks and I start watching YouTube in their app the frequency of their ads is quite reasonable in the beginning. Few times I even thought. Hey, if they show me an ad every couple of videos that's not that bad right, I might switch back to YouTube. Then as the amount of content watched increases the amount of ads increases to the point of making it unwatchable (4 ad breaks in a 20min video, sometimes even double 40s ads one can't skip). This makes me go back.
> Biden, meanwhile, tweeted: “I am sick and tired of trickle-down economics. It has never worked. We’re building an economy from the bottom up and middle out.”

And the Petrodollar, which allows us to mostly do whatever we want. Just a side note.
For trade-in compare price they offer to Carmax (including taxes and fees adjustment), if less, just sell to Carmax.

Whatever is on the sale sheet is included. You can order extra stuff, they will install it for you, but obviously it’s not included in the advertised price.

It would actually be less than that using a modern HVDC transmission line. Losses for HVDC are around 3% per 1000 km of cable, and around 0.7% for the converter stations at each end. So around 15% loss for a theoretical Boston-to-LA HVDC.
This is a great idea and every company should set time aside for it. Not just a "oh we reserve X percent for issues", but a dedicated, "nothing on the todo list" period.

I worked at a place once where my favorite time was at the end of the year; most people were off on vacation but they needed a skeleton crew in case of issues. This was when we did tons of small bugfixes, improvements and refactorings, and honestly that's the best part of the job IMO. Screw building features and adding customer value, just let me do janitorial jobs :D
What would you propose as an alternative to people who just… constantly fill mailing lists with attacks on people or the like?

Reasonable people don’t need to have such harsh actions applied of course. But reasonable people don’t end up getting to this point!

I am a bit partial to messaging when someone is banned like this, but there are definitely cases where people will just keep on arguing about something forever and ever unless they are explicitly told to stop. And this is what that looks like, and I think is present in more or less every official OSS community

Maybe this should just look like “lose access to mailing list for a bit” stuff though
I mean the big tech companies rely heavily on these tools; surely they have the money to pay people a full-time wage, without using it as leverage to steer projects in their own direction?

They owe it to the open source community; they built trillion-dollar companies on top of open source.
“could give a shit” means the opposite of what you think it means.
Seeing the picture of that lock reminded me how uniform were the door locks and light switches in the US. In Europe there are countless different types of door locks and light switches but basically everywhere I went to in the US it was the same door locks and light switches. I take it if you travel internationally a doorstop would work everywhere.
Rather it is a bug that properties that accept lengths allow a literal zero—a design bug that won’t be fixed for compatibility reasons, but which strongly should not be propagated into new work. This is why not even `padding: calc(0)` works.

CSS is typed. Every other context requires units, and computed values always have a unit.
Ahh story points... the logic that you don't want to use real time units because predictions are inaccurate, but then everyone spends time mapping from story points to real time units anyway...
>Aren’t there cures for cancer and perovskite solar cells to discover? Why are you using your excellent minds, and apparently enormous amount of free time, building cool but very slow virtual computers out of virtual sand, when you could be proving the smoothness of the Navier–Stokes equations?

Because in the real world there are people in power who do not want those things to happen, unless it disproportionately benefits them at the expense of the people actually doing the work.

In Minecraft there are no busy bodies, gate keepers, monopolists, financial institutions or regulations preventing people from doing peaceful intellectual activities. The certification necessary to become a computer scientist takes 16 years, in Minecraft you don't need any certification you can just do it on day one.

The other reason is that building a computer in redstone isn't that impressive, it is like building your own computer in a CS course which has been done over and over again by many students.
Seems like it requires an extremely particular design of door handles that I’ve never actually seen in a hotel.

I'd rather hire someone who is effective and passionate about solving problems in a particular space. If I hire a full stack web developer, and then they burn out because I had only frontend tickets for them for half a year, that's not so nice.

I don't mind rebranding your LinkedIn to make it look like you're the Kubernetes DevOps guy, as long as that means you're totally fine with working the DevOps for my Kubernetes clusters for the foreseeable future.

In an ideal world we could shove around generalist developers to whatever is necessary at the moment, but the reality is each developer is a human with hopes and dreams and ambitions and not every role will fit those.
This board sets "the new standard for entry-level edge AI" at 30x the performance of the previous generation of "entry level". Now I can perform number plate recognition at 1000fps vs the previous 100fps. Is the previous board no longer OK for entry level tasks?

What? How, as an adult, can the fact that different countries have different laws surprise you?
We're setting up a situation here where China will likely end up ascendant. The big thing the West has in its favour is control of financial flows and services which are a huge edge in long periods of peace.

A serious war could break out and it appears neither China nor India are that worried about Ukraine. We're going to end up torpedoing all the systems that keep us wealthy and comfortable as Asia gets serious about securing itself and has a real reason to break away from the US's world order. Russia has a lot of energy to offer other Asian partners, China has motives to support this sort of war and India I don't know what they will decide to do but there are big opportunities here for them.

And in exchange for these strategic blunders, we're getting ... war, corpses, money wasted building weapons and serious threats of nuclear war. This is a really bad situation for anyone in a country that speaks English as an official language. At least, probably a couple of other American satellites are worried too. We're not getting anything here in exchange for warming the situation up by arming Russia's enemies and laughing loudly at their government.

Even if this hadn't led to a partial mobilisation of a nuclear power, sending huge numbers of weapons to a country famous for its corruption was a bloody stupid idea to start with.
He's the author of Gnus. The news/email reader. It's a little crazy but a huge piece of work. Related to this was http://gmane.io/ which is a mailing list to NNTP gateway (so that they can be read using Gnus).
The only other strategy to appease, is not to escalate until we all get nuked. It is not binary. We can't have these tensions each time the US or Russia invades X.
Thunderflirt! ;-)
you know, I think turning off their internet for a while might be a better solution

inventing ai robot-servants so you can wirehead alone more efficiently is not an utopia
The US have become a net energy exporter and the largest exporter of natural gas.

This strategy is paying off, especially when you compare with the situation in Europe, which has chosen the opposite strategy (shale gas exploitation is banned).
This shouldn't require any smarts with Firefox containers. There is a Facebook container which opens any Facebook URL in, and will move you put once it resolves a URL which isn't Facebook.
It's more the idea of an organization claiming they have the authority to forbid you from tweeting at members. It's like they're trying to split the world into two halves, organization members and outsiders, draw a fence around the organization membership and assume control over who is allowed to cross that fence and how. To be clear: I don't think any organization should ever have that sort of power. If it was just "banned from the ML" or whatever, I'd still be put off by the way the rest is phrased, but I'd be like "alright, that's fair enough, it's their ML." It is not their Twitter, and it is not, to be frank, "their community". You can own architecture, you can't own people.

What would be the optimal Code of Conduct? From looking at this and reading the FFmpeg mail thread, I'm currently leaning towards "Avoid talking about people." Just, try to avoid talking about people, period. If a technical forum comment contains no discussion of code, at least in theory, it's probably harmful to the project. As far as I can see, this also in the same stroke removes all potential for harassment.
> Why is everyone pretending that the maximal amount of ad revenue comes doesn’t come from showing you what you want to see?

There's a very philosophical debate hidden between the words in that sentence.

But since Youtube sees dislike as a signal to boost a video, it spreads content-views to things that people don't like, but feel compelled to interact with in (what I assume is) the "Not now, I'm busy - someone is being wrong on the internet" kind of way.

You can say, that is what people _actually_ want, since that is what they end up spending time on. You can point to popular subreddits like r/idiotsincars or r/makesmybloodboil and say "see! people love being enraged", and I think it is a valid view on defining "want", though not one I subscribe to.

I think this is not what people want, and promoting this kind of behaviour will in the mid to long term scare off users. My understanding of Tik-Tok is that they promote a style of feel-good content, rather than rage-inducing content and they are beating both Facebook and Youtube, who've been promoting dislikes.
To be perfectly fair though even “mastering” backend is quite close to impossible.

You’ve probably heard of the 10,000 hour rule, it’s a hard and fast rule to say that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of doing something to fully master it.

Maybe not true in all cases; but consider the suite of tools you have to be practicing every day to do even a single role: VCS/DVCS, shell, OS fundamentals, build-systems, networking, DNS… now we have distributed computing concepts such as kubernetes and various DSLs, then there’s your programming language(s), their standard libraries, their extended contrib libraries.

Completely non-exhaustive list and we’re already closing in on 5 years working full time for each of those.

The sheer hubris of assuming you can throw together a few frameworks and understand 1 or 2 paradigms and then claim you know “the whole stack” is immature and exhausting; similar to the sysadmins of yore who could read QuickStarts and claim to know how to maintain software fully.

Delivering business value is definitely what we’re trying to do, but when it comes down to it: engineering is understanding; and nobody can claim to understand everything, not with a straight face.

Full Stack is either: the most senior you can be or
the most surface level you can be.

If the former: we can’t afford you and I’m not sure how you managed to keep all your skills up to date.

If the latter then specialists will need to clean up after you anyway.
The telegraph network in the US was built (late 19th century) with relay stations a few hundred miles apart. The relay was an actual electromagnetic relay in the telegraph office that would automatically re-send the incoming signal over the next leg of the network. Along the segments of a few hundred miles, stations along the wire were all hooked up in a sort of party-line arrangement. Presumably, the electromagnetic relays would add some some little delay on key-down and maybe on key-up, perhaps making real high-speed sending and receiving difficult.

When Morse retired, around the 50th anniversary of the telegraph (1894?), somehow the US telegraph network was briefly wired together so that he could send a farewell message to all the telegraph operators across the country listening simultaneously. How that was done, IDK.
I don't think wealthy are paying much taxes, percentage-wise (significant in dollar value though). There are simply too many tax minimization instruments that they have at their disposal. It's the middle class that is carrying the brunt of taxation. So when they say "tax the rich", what they really mean is "tax the middle class and small business owners". Eventually, you would run out of "other people's money" and you will have a society of super-rich and super-poor. I suspect it won't be a good place to live in.
I've just been running through my own website logs for the week, and the majority of hacking attacks (mostly attempts at stealing AWS & Git credentials, but also outright hacking, vulnerability scans, exploit attempts & brute forcing attempts) have all been via VPN, Tor exit nodes, and relays. Legit website users just never use VPN or Tor for anything.

Datacenter is not necessarily a "threat", but if a datacenter is trying to post to your website comment form, it's certainly posting some kind of spam or SQL injection attempt, and it's not a message from a legitimate customer. (Datacenter is actually a highly effective flag for detecting spam.)
They don't "owe" anything to "open source community". The licenses under which the software was made available more or less states that.

There are incentives to open source platforms so that they can build applications on top, support projects so that they can steer them etc. but they don't owe anything to the original developers.
Russia has 37 million males aged 15-54, which are the extreme ends of what would be considered for mobilisation. Its total workforce is 75 million.

Combined with the ~100K Russian casualties, ~200K combatants, if Putin adds another 150K then this will impact just 1.2% of its combat-age male population. The reduction in workforce is just 0.6%, but it is actually less than that, because most of the initially deployed soldiers were professional soldiers already, and weren't technically part of the workforce when the war started. So just considering the new conscripts, this is more like a 0.2% reduction in the total workforce.

I'm putting this here because I see a lot of discussions where people think that this will somehow "decimate" Russia's population, undermine their economy, strip the workforce bare, or whatever.

For comparison, their ageing demographics and low birth rate means that their population is shrinking by 86K people per month anyway. See: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/07/29/russias-population...

Realistically, the effect of the sanctions is 100x greater than the additional mobilisation.
I’d say the BFF is an instance of the Facade GoF pattern.
In this case (IIRC) two service providers went to court and the law was put out of force for them, at which point the federal agency in charge of enforcing it decided not to do so until the matter was resolved by the highest court. So in some sense it did work.
I'm no fan of DRM, but this story was slightly annoying to me. I think I realised why - it's basically a straw man argument against DRM. Arguments like this can be constructed to make many things I believe in seem awful.
Yeah, and that's a huge case for such a tiny screen; I can't imagine writing for long stints is very comfortable on it. At the very least it should have a bigger screen, closer to A4 size like old fashioned typewriters.

But if you go for writing comfort, I would like to see something with more of a desktop screen form factor and a separate keyboard. But that's more for a desk.
Your own bag, locked with a good lock. The threat model is convert entry; someone who's willing to carry your bag away can probably open the safe anyway so you're not losing in real security.
Justine here. I have a fleet of VMs for various OSes running the runitd.com daemon. I then write unit tests in Emacs and when I press CTRL-C CTRL-_ it builds the test, gzips it, and uses runit.com to deploy and run the executable to every VM, and reports back the output within milliseconds. Here's a screenshot of me testing the sendfile() system call: https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/sendfile-testing.png When I run `make test` it deploys and runs all 465 test executables to all seven test VMs currently in the fleet, and it takes about 10 seconds. Here's a video: https://storage.googleapis.com/justine/sizetricks/runit.mp4 All runit.com and runitd.com do (their sources are in tool/build/ of the cosmo github repo) is basically `scp program host: && ssh host ./program` which is what I used to do, except SSH was unacceptably slow, so I wrote runit, which use PSK TLS and DEFLATE to transfer files over the network.
Unsurprising. Speaking to the bellies when one can't speak to the brains.
If you were to write a book, what would you write about?
It isn't. It's just fearmongering and deflection of a serious issue with datamining companies having free reign to act as unethically as they so desire onto the scary foreigners.
This is HN and we're not even pretending to be optimistic about beating incumbents, but it is much deeper than that - there is also a profound sense of defeatism directed towards European entrepeurs as well as the world at large. It is an indictment of the current nihilistic zeitgeist.
In my experience, the emergency routes are not always open for regular walking. Specifically, the doors involved are unlocked, but also trigger an alarm when opened, so they are not misused. How do you deal with that?
It looks like it's owned by a Russian company. Does that affect what it allows you to see? I notice for instance that a quick search for "War in Ukraine" returns top results from Russian news outlets calling it a "Military Operation".

Multiple things, I'm afraid.

I'm answering this as more of an amateur fusion enthusiast than a physicist, so I expect this list is a rough guide not a complete and precise one:

• A wakefield accelerator has a plasma region significantly more massive (in aggregate) than the particles being accelerated, and the acceleration comes from the electrons in the plasma being easier to move than the ions, which creates a high charge gradient, and that charge gradient accelerates the particle beam.

The plasma is "cold" compared to the beam.

• You give boron a positive charge by removing electrons, but the more you remove, the harder it is for them to fuse (they mutually repel before they get close)

• Even when the nuclei hit perfectly and in optimal condition, they mostly just bounce off instead of fusing.

This releases photons (because all acceleration of charges always does that), which saps energy away. Stars only get around this by the photons being reabsorbed almost immediately and re-heating the plasma in the surrounding volume.

• While the setup you describe will do fusion if you pick the right energy level, the energy level of this accelerator will instead mostly produce heat, tau-antitau particle pairs, and possibly some proton-antiproton (and neutron-antineutron?) pairs.

• For stuff like this, the interesting thing is the energy not the speed, so while (in Newtonian physics) 5 GeV electrons go at the same speed as 2.5 MeV protons or 227 KeV B-11, that's wildly into the relativistic range for electrons so they don't do that anyway.
