>In contrast, the Lib Dems did manage to pass same-sex marriage

It's my pet peeve when people claim this.

The UK already had same sex marriage, it was just not called marriage. Labour brought that in. The bill you refer to just renamed it, plus it gave religious orgs a get out from equalities legislation and tidied up non-same-sex marriage rules.

And the only reason it passed was because of Labour. The majority of Tories voted against their own parties bill. And 10% of Lib dems did too.

Like so many of Clegg's achievements, it was a triumph of (false and misleading) advertising over substance...

In exchange for not supporting a bill that didn't really do what was claimed, the tories got total support for all of their economic and social policies.
These seem decent:

That's a reasonable take, except

> So Clegg rolled the dice on getting proportional representation rather than first past the post to solve this and lost.

Clegg compromised on a referendum on the "Alternative Vote" (i.e. what Americans call "Instant Run-off Voting" and Australians call "Majority Preferential Voting"). Alternative Vote isn't proportional or even semi-proportional. I think he considered it a worthwhile compromise:

1) on the grounds that it's a form of Single Transferable Vote (which also has proportional forms), and

2) on the assumption it would increase votes for smaller parties and hinder the major parties from forming governments in the face of opposition by a majority of voters (the received wisdom being that there was a block of like-minded centrist and left-of-centre voters that was inefficiently divided between Labour, the Lib Dems and others, to the advantage of the Conservatives - but Clegg's deal took place after more than a decade of Labour's votes having unusually been the most efficient, and Clegg was considered part of the Lib Dems' "Orange Book" faction which was less friendly to Labour and the left than Lib Dems typically are).
My first thoughts:

- Substance abuse is an area of concern

- Why do we have 'free money' campaigns in times of raging inflation?
This is quite an amateur approach, but it's winning. No regulations necessary, it's just a UAV with cameras.

>Every day a poor performer gets the same salary as you is morale-destroying.

not really? if he is unjustly compensated more than he is worth it's kind of funny, but unless you're a child you shouldn't really care about it. this is way different than if you were compensated less than what you are worth.
> 1. SAFEs are convenient if everyone is amenable, but be careful about having SAFEs sitting around too long or with different terms. They're like the Mogwai in the Gremlins films. They're kind and cuddly unless you feed them after midnight or get them wet.

Your analogy is funny but you don't actually explain why SAFEs are dangerous, could you develop?

>It was definitely in the introductory BASIC teaching materials for TRS-80 and other micros.

For 8-bit home computers of 1980s, I don't remember any of the official BASIC manuals that came with computer using "HELLO WORLD" in the examples. That includes Radio Shack TRS-80, Commodore 64, Texas Instruments TI-99, Atari 400/800, etc. Some cursory search of archived books seems to confirm my memory:

https://archive.org/details/Model_100_Basic_Language_Lab_198...

https://archive.org/details/commodore-64-user-guide/page/n47...

https://archive.org/details/tibook_beginners-basic/page/n9/m...

Maybe some unofficial 3rd-party BASIC guides or classes used the string "HELLO WORLD". I personally didn't see that until reading K&R C Language book. Although "Hello world" was 1974, it really didn't seem to spread into wide programming culture until 1990s.

I kind of vaguely remember some BASIC examples somewhere using 10 PRINT "HELLO" 20 GOTO 10... but that wasn't the full "HELLO WORLD".

I’m not sure how these lottery programs help to test anything.

I think people understand that giving people $1k has benefits to them. The question is about whether the cost is sustainable across a large population (LA has $4M people so finding $4B/month will be tricky) and the effects on labor and inflation.

These projects don’t seem to have a clear hypothesis and basically amount to “do people like cake? Let’s see”
However, when a tracing GC runs, it has to touch massive amounts of cold data and pushes hot data out of cache. Traditional malloc/free touches data in small chunks and freeing happens close to the last use, so when most of the data is still hot in cache. Stable, predictable performance is often more important than the peak performance.

I've done this at a 10 person startup. If you have 10 employees, you probably have a decent law firm. Any decent law firm will have boilerplate separation agreements that can be easily modified to fit your special needs with minimal work.
I would add that frameworks:

* promote helplessness by abstracting away fundamental but tedious tasks one ought to know how to do,

* erode the capacity for innovation by making it difficult to contemplate or impossible to implement solutions outside the framework's feature set,

* achieve an equilibrium I call 'mutually assured mediocrity' in which a programmer or organization necessarily vows to remain at the same low level of technology as their competitors.
I'm here! I can see that this section[0] goes pretty quickly over the two-argument form of Each, and the pace for Fold looks better to me. Is that right? The example section after could be pretty hard; the idea is that you should be spending a while thinking about it and working through the code in a REPL.

I'm not sure law authorize you to publish the code even if you have warned the manufacturer and waited a number of days. The warning could also be taken for blackmail. You'll face serious problems as this is proprietary technology and so you'll violate their copyright.They also can consider your action as intrusive. Further more, if your exploit is used by others for criminal damages, you'll sure be taken for responsible. So :

1. search for a bug bounty programm linked to the company,
2. if no programm found, contact the manufacturer in an anonymous way (there are examples of people accused end sued of trespassing by companies when they were acting in good faith,
3. if no news from them, leave it to others or contact a lawyer in order to insist if you think what you have found can really be harmful.

But never (never) publish the code without having been able to negotiate with the firm and obtain authorization.

Hey, just by the way, it seems your characterization of the outcome with regards to vets at animal shelters is not correct. It's kind of the opposite. It starts on page 41 of the PDF (second link). The problem was: "Recent court decisions prevent the State Board of Veterinary
Medical Examiners from regulating shelter veterinarians or
veterinary medicine practiced in animal shelters."

"Strictly interpreted, the statutory exemption means anyone who practices
veterinary medicine in the context of animal shelters and rescue groups is exempt
from the Veterinary Licensing Act, including standard of care measures and
use of controlled substances. The impact of the decisions is already having an
effect on the oversight and regulation of veterinary medicine in Texas, as the
agency has begun to close all complaints against shelter veterinarians, declaring
them non-jurisdictional based on the decisions.
Taken to the extreme and assuming the Act does not apply in the context of
shelter medicine, animal shelters and rescue groups would not need to hire
licensed veterinarians. If the Act does not apply to the care of these animals,
any person regardless of training, education, or qualification, and regardless of
their criminal or disciplinary history, would legally be able to practice veterinary
medicine on shelter and rescue animals."

The recommendation from the Sunset Commission was therefore for the legislature to change the law to make sure veterinary medicine at rescue clinics WAS regulated.
If you have SAFEs with different terms the calculations for your cap table can become onerous and complicated and confusing.

If things get confusing some SAFE holders might feel like they're getting a worse deal than others, which can cause acrimony on your investor team.

If they sit around too long the risk of these things increases. SAFEs are so easy someone can offer to invest and you say yes and BAM you sign one... without bothering to carefully look over all previous SAFEs etc. and make sure terms are in line with expectations. They're almost too easy to execute.

My analogy came from the fact that if you have these problems you can get a complexity explosion during the next priced round.

KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) is really the TL;DR.

You are correct, KMS implement important aspects of key management. The conclusion of the article is not replacing KMS with Confidential Computing. Instead, the idea is to combine them to achieve the ultimate goal of protecting sensitive data. CC does not solve the who manages the KEK problem, it solves the using the DEK securely, accessing the KEK securely, and eventually, effectively protecting the processed data question.

How much effort do they do to identify the owner? Let's imagine someone goes as a speaker to a conference in Japan. In the return trip they found:

A) A t-shit of the conference.

B) A photo of the whole family

C) A hentay magazine for a friend

With A you can reduce the number of persons from 7000000 to a few hundreds. With B you can go through the online photos of the conference and find the correct one. It's probably too much effort for the profesional opener, but it's easy for a bunch of morons playing the doxxing game in the YouTube chat. Is C illegal where you live? Is C illegal in the country where the airport is? If there is a big scandal, will the university/business care about the technical legality of C or just fire the owner of the bag?

What problem is this warning trying to solve? Are these two symlinks too much maintenance burden? Or is the check in the code hurting the code quality? Is the extra check at startup ruining performance?

Ask HN: Can you recommend me a fast, light text editor for Windows?
What do you guys use when you want to quickly open a file? I used to use VS Code for this purpose, but it's becoming more and more like an IDE and doesn't quite have the startup time that I would want anymore. Plus, it's a bit annoying when I already have a project open as it'll open as a tab and look as if it's part of that project if that makes sense.

Notepad almost fits my spec (startup time, simple, quick UI), but it doesn't have syntax highlighting or anything useful for text manipulation/navigation/etc.

I could never get along with Notepad++ - it's hard to explain why, because I can see it's a fantastic editor and is very popular, but it just doesn't fit into the way I work I suppose.

I think the main key points for me are startup time and syntax highlighting.

Thank you!
Why aren't these split into separate packages? If a distro wants to drop them, they can still be installed. If some distro wants to include them with a warning that's also fair game.

> Which societies have tried your quoted route? The only communist countries I know about never made it to communist but were very early in the process taken over by dictators who very much took more than their need and certainly inhibited the sharing of abilities.

That's just a different way of saying that it isn't practical. Consider Communism as a goal. Communism is a goal that is often attempted but is never achieved.

When no one can implement something in practice, it's the something that's the problem, not the people.

> You're right though, inheritance taxes on all assets help to iron out such issues; but in general the ruling classes avoid most taxes (and often laws in general) and aren't keen to enforce their application.

Firstly, it's ridiculously easy to dodge inheritance taxes if you're rich.

Secondly, going down the path of "if you, personally, didn't earn something, we will confiscate it from you" historically never worked out well.
Short stories are a really under appreciated art form. Everybody loves the novel or multi book epic, but there is something wonderful about a short story that changes your perspective or punches you in the gut.
That has not been my experience with a bad boss. They do things like play favorites and create a culture where people are competing rather than cooperating. Even if they are just shitty to everyone equally I find it far easier to deal with a bad colleague than a bad boss.

A useless employee not being fired does not only breed resentment in coworkers, it also erodes trust in management: Other employees will lose their trust that leadership is willing to follow through with hard decisions for the good of the company (speaking from personal experience).

Management being capricious is basically "news at 11", but management being perceived as hesitant/incompetent can be MUCH worse EVEN from the PoV of an employee (=> because that indicates the company has no future)!

I ditched Thunderbird for Mailmate last year, after getting frustrated with just how slow and clunky Thunderbird was, so much of the time.

I really wanted to like Mailmate. It does tick a lot of boxes. But it's expensive and I found it to be too glitchy to justify that kind of price. It would often error out on all my accounts, throwing up endless dialogues, telling me that there was no password stored in the keychain for each account [not true!] an issue that's been reported several times over the years and never been fixed. Similarly, when sending messages, I'd often see similar errors and the message would end up in both my Sent and Drafts folders. So I was never quite sure whether it had actually gone or not. And having to re-send lots of emails with a "Sorry if you get this twice, but..." disclaimer at the top soon got boring.

I'm now back on Thunderbird and, while it still looks like something from the 1990s, it does seem a bit less sluggish than I remember. Maybe Mozilla are finally getting their act together?

I was on them for RLS for a while. I had even started taking L-DOPA, when pramipexole/ropinirole/gabapentin/etc. were negatively affecting my quality of life. However, the L-DOPA triggered some very, in-hindsight but unfortunately never during, terrible personality changes. One of which decided that it was prudent to keep upping my L-DOPA dosage, become a severe poly-substance abuser, and all-around just make a huge mess of my life.

I may also be recovering from nerve damage in my legs and feet from this escapade (either from the L-DOPA causing oxidative damage/receptor over-excitement and death -- or from the litany of other substances). I may have also unknowingly "semi-permanently" down-regulated my AAAH (?) enzymes, leading to effects I cannot even imagine.

>Compelling someone who doesn't want to associate with you, to associate with you, is not an exercise of freedom. It's explotiation.

Yes, that's exactly why unions are needed, there is no way to live in capitalism without selling your work-force, or living out of rent on other people's work-force, by owning the means of production. If an owner wants to decrease wages of their workers, they may only receive resistance if the workers are unionized, as that is the only (non-revolution) way to sort of even out the playing field.

Just a reminder: Unless you're financially independent, you're not a capitalist, you're a worker, lets not fall for the "anyone can become a capitalist" bullshit, as that ignores the material conditions of most of earth.
