I’m fine with the funding engine of the internet dying.

The way those ads get put these is massive privacy violations happen to fuel an engine that’s smarter than you with data. Then this engine shows the perfect ad at the perfect time in the perfect moment of weakness to get you to do what the advertiser wants.

If these ads were merely roadside billboards I don’t think I would care as much. These are internet ads connected to an extensive surveillance infrastructure. Manifest v3 indirectly means an increase in surveillance activity and the biggest companies and governments on earth expanding their power. Let’s also not just say that content blockers merely block ads, I use them to block scripts all the time which are there to expressly mine your data to manipulate you in the future. I’m not smart enough to not get manipulated if I give these companies my data.

If I block ads to prevent all that and we have less 6 figure FAANG jobs and convenient services on the internet - oh no! P2P is a thing, community run websites are a thing, alternative funding models are a thing, open source is a thing, lower wages are fine, we’ll be fine.
Russia is obviously acting irrationally. Acting like a jealous kid that wants it toys back while threatening with nuclear destruction...

So yes, Russia is indeed the most evil force at this moment. Every sane person realizes that.

They should also realize that it's GDP compared to it's size is laughable and shouldn't give in.

Fuck Putin and his enablers. Let them implode from within, we can wait like in 1991.

This would require Boeing's cooperation. Not clear why Boeing would cooperate given the legal risks.
This used to be true, but in 2000 (!)the US government enabled the full range of GPS features for civilian use, vastly improving the accuracy of GPS receivers.

GPS.gov says single band receivers should be able to get less than 2m accuracy. Dual band units, like the latest Garmin Forerunner watches, can do much, much better.
If there’s any meat in this case, they left it out of the filing. It’s basically the plane exploded, the navy owns missiles, QED. The part about the plucky retiree who unearths the truth is actually a big red flag.

> Your paper says that nuclear has some limited load following abilities.

Load following requirements aren't determined by the plant operator, they're determined by the grid operator, and they're the same for every controllable output source. So far, nuclear plants fully comply with the european grid requirements.

> You appear to be claiming this means that no storage/batteries are required for nuclear grids

Well, yes, that's what I'm saying, and that's what the article says.

> It would be an interesting math exercise

It's not an interesting math exercise, it's the very nature of the problem. You keep ignoring that just because it is convenient to pretend a 55€/MWh nuclear plant is equivalent to a 44€/installed MWh wind farm.

In reality, building wind farms or PV farms create external dependencies. These dependencies are absorbed without too much of a cost when your grid massively depends on gas.

The rest of your message simply denies this reality because it doesn't align with your belief.

> it has lots of details about how the French are in denial about this incoming reality

IDK what you think the article says. It talks about the failure from political leadership to provide certainty about the future of power in France, and, as a consequence, the fact that nothing has been done in the last two decades to prepare our future production means. It's been well known for a while now, and the crisis means the penny had dropped for everyone at the time the article was written.

It is completely unrelated to nuclear plants ; had we had gas plants instead, our politicians would have made the same mistake.

> The fact that dev can have access to PROD logs just by himself unsupervised (even if for obviously good reasons from his/company point of view) is a big fat red flag

What's wrong with granting engineers access to PII-less logs[1] by default? How does that compromise privacy?

I'm willing to bet your bank differed on the following ways from Google in absolute numbers and per-engineer:

* handled significantly less requests per second - at least 2 orders of magnitude - therefore lower log volumes

* shipped less changes to prod per unit time, so fewer problems to investigate

Been doing iOS dev professionally for 7 years, and have been tinkering with Mac development since OS X 10.1 or so.

I haven’t found any of this to be necessary. I only reformat every 2-3 major releases at most and sometimes go most of the lifetime of a machine without reformatting, and I have various backend and cross platform desktop dev stuff set up on the same machines. Have rarely if ever had issues with Xcode acting up…

Is there something we’re doing differently to get such dramatically different outcomes?

> Not clear why Boeing would cooperate given the legal risks.

You mean other than their many billions in military contracts, and criminal penalties for releasing classified information?

I'm of the opinion that the missile theory is unlikely, but the government absolutely has ways to make Boeing of all people cooperate.
The lawsuit[0] is worth a read and goes into quite a bit of detail about the claimed timeline. Roughly:

* Upgraded missile defense systems were deemed a national security priority around this time

* Navy ships compatible with these systems were 5 years out, so…

* Live missile testing happens at a compatible land base in New Jersey, under congested airspace

* Multiple civilians report seeing missile tests in & around the date of the TWA crash

* Missile test hits TWA jet. Instead of the NTSB running the investigation (like normal), the CIA and FBI are immediately put in charge

* CIA/FBI confiscate records, run PR campaign claiming the crash was “NOT A MISSILE”, mislead the families and general public about the incident

* Missile tests continue post-crash

Damning if true, to say the least.

I much prefer the default styling other than that the margins are nearly nonexistent. Any time I come across a site that uses mostly default styling (such as some academic webpages from the 90s), I always think to myself "wow, this is pleasant to read."

> Text also gets easier to read when more spaced out; the default line height makes the text too close together.

The opposite is easily true in my experience. Making text large, using ample line height, and even greater spacing between paragraphs, makes for text that is more readable but makes the experience of reading much worse. This is of course entirely subjective unless someone comes up with measurable evidence, like a study on the sentiment of users.

Something tells me that designers have been taking principles that are appropriate to hero page sections, advertisements, magazine covers and such, and applying them inappropriately to bodies of prose. Larger text with spacing and huge margins (or smaller max width) helps the reading impaired, but I don't really buy that people actually prefer it.
it's not that you need it, it's that when destructuring, std::tuple_size / std::tuple_element are implicitly checked to see how destructuring can be made to work if you have a type with some custom destructuring. (example: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/5jq61oox7)

If they are not available or just not overloaded (e.g. when destructuring some basic struct) it just falls back to the destructuring one expects. So you need <tuple> for the specific case of implementing custom destructuring, that is one more case to add to the list :)
Thanks - unbelievable how downvoted this question is when the answer is indeed that they are helping with weapons development
I agree. If we have another drought next year across the Western US, China, and Europe I bet the price shocks will hit rich and poor alike as food will become quite scarce.

Coupled with trying to manage surviving the yearly 100 year storms and sea level rise… we’re in for quite a challenge managing to mitigate the climate crisis with feeding ourselves and protecting people from the increase in devastating disasters.

If the way we responded socially and politically to the pandemic is any indication of how we’ll manage this looming monster I suspect it’s going to get really bad.

It doesn’t matter how rich you are. If disaster after disaster year after year wipes out the food production you can’t eat money.
It's because of the fear that without alcohol, these youngsters aren't going to socialize. A very debatable position, but I really think that's what it is. People (like me) who felt, rightly or wrongly, that drinking helped make friends, have fun, meet romantic partners, etc. when they were young.

I doubt this. Almost every website overrides all of the relevant CSS attributes, because the default is just atrocious. Changing the default won't impact them.

Anyway, the browsers still can update the CSS and add a "reverse read mode" button that changes it back.
TBH, the majority is responsible for electing right-wing governments or coalitions that have put their head where their wallet is: pumping up profits of their friends and well-doers, lowering taxes, and privatizing and further ignoring infrastructure and governmental duties (and ignoring climate change, long-term changes in society, etc.). It hurts me to say that the many of the former social-democratic, and quite a few of the green, parties simply participated.

So the majority might be partially responsible. If you disagree hard, we'll be heading into "politeia" discussions, king-philosophers and what not.
The 17th century is what Dutch refer to as "the golden century".

It was an age in which modern capitalism and banking was invented, religious tolerance was practiced and everyone was spending money like "the great Gatsby" on paintings and exotic food.
It was a remarkably "un-Puritan" age. What was preached was rarely practiced. There's a reason why Puritans sought a new home.
Think for a moment. This has nothing to do with tiktok. This has to do with your favorite personal website which hasn't been updated since 2001.

And any change in default styling would be immediately noticed. Pages suddenly centered, or half the width? Increased padding?

And "most people wouldn't notice" is a harmful mentality in web design which allows minorities to suffer. Most people aren't blind, either. Should we not worry about them when designing websites?
How do you figure? Reflexive anti-Boeing groupthink? The government's narrative is that the plane blew itself up, e.g. it was Boeing's fault. The lawsuit contents that the plane was shot down, accidentally, by the US military.

Boeing already took the reputational hit. If the allegations of the lawsuit are correct, it was never Boeing's fault in the first place. Boeing would be vindicated.

Ask HN: What’s Going on in Beijing and to Xi Jinping?
I’m reading many articles and comments about an “improbable” coup that is happening in China, in Beijing. Somebody is saying that Xi is at home arrest. But also these news are arriving mostly from India media that are not the best reliable source.
Also people are saying that some flights from/to Beijing are canceled and ‘Xi Jinping’ keyword is censured on Weibo.

This is an example article on the situation: https://www.livemint.com/news/is-xi-jinping-under-house-arrest-there-s-a-military-coup-in-china-check-here-11664101272337.html

You might be better off capping the power for each home and letting their occupants decide what is essential or not.
I don’t know if things have changed but when I started developing apps about 3 years ago, none of the docs or tutorials mentioned persistent storage until the very end, and it would touch on it very lightly.

So when you have developers learning about app dev assuming they will have an internet connection, and most of the time really fast since it’s their dev machine the apps are being built on. Caching sort of becomes and after thought and doesn’t get much attention.

Also, I do recall the api for doing this sort of stuff was very SQL like, at least in the iphone. This probably adds another layer to most devs knowing frontend only and being exposed to CRUD apis.
For reference: this crash was covered in great details by "Admiral Cloudberg": https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/memories-of-flame-the-cr...

Here's the part of his conclusion relevant to this new development: "And it is perhaps understandable that we struggle to ascribe an event so utterly horrible to the mere banality of fate, a sequence of mundane events that could have happened anywhere and at any time. No, we find it much more comfortable to believe that humanity is the only force capable of imagining an act of such malice, closing our minds to the knowledge that the unthinking universe could just as easily conjure those 54 terrible seconds of existential agony. Believing that that agony was the product of a human mind allows us to indulge our fantasy that someone is in control, saving us from the disturbing thought that perhaps we, too, are merely passengers aboard a pilotless airplane hurtling toward an uncertain zenith."

I've read all of your comments and I commend you trying to illuminate these people. Some of them seem to be living in the 1990s, spewing the usual hocuspocus about programming languages, the kind of thing you hear once and it becomes a myth.

Actually, the Puritans left England for Holland because they were at the receiving end of violent imprisonment for holding religious convictions that differed with the Anglican church and authorities. Then they left the Netherlands because they felt that their children were becoming too Dutch.

After the Puritans founded Plymouth Bay colony, they let William Rogers (if I have his name correct) leave when he disagreed with them, and he went and founded Rhode Island... where he eventually excommunicated his own wife (so maybe he just had issues getting on with folks).

So I'm not sure what episodes of violently attacking neighbors you're speaking of.

Additionally, according to American feminist history researcher Mardi Keyes in a lecture I heard years ago, Puritan New England was the first society in the world where legally women had the full right to bring divorce suites in cases of abuse, infidelity, or neglect; 50% of the cases were brought by women (she said if you look of the court records one can see this evidence) and it was the closeness of their communities that enabled neighbors and friends to provide testimonial evidence, which often enabled women to leave dreadful marriages. This stands in stark contrast to the pejorative caricaturing of Puritans as anti-women.

I don’t think there is any universal answer to your question. I think individual people should make individual judgements in individual scenarios about what to believe.
