>> As far as I know, only 2 other countries in the world have something similar in their Constitution: Mexico and Guatemala

That's what it says at https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/04/05/how-many-countries-have..., along with the note that the US "is the only one that does not explicitly include a restrictive condition".
Chromebook and Android are general-purpose computers that can be used to go on the internet so you can see an ad.

This appears to be a way of doing especially immersive video calls; I'm not sure what the ecosystem for it is, unless you believe in metaverses.
That's easy to say, but nobody is stoping you or anyone else that thinks that way from building yourselves a home deep underground. There's no real engineering challenge, we know how to dig very big, very deep pits, the problem is the costs are astronomical relative to conventional housing. Not to mention the huge energy cost and thus carbon footprint of that kind of construction.

It's conceivable those costs might be reduced, maybe the Boring Company will find a solution, but the fact is it involves moving an awful lot of very heavy material.
This is fundamentally the wrong answer, and one that is actively harmful to humanity.

The “metaverse” is no more healthy to humans than Discord+Gaming. It is literally the same thing: the illusion of community.
Yeas but a special kind of novel - more of a manifesto. Compare it with something like 1984 which is similar kind of manifesto-book but a much more captivating read.
I hope Musk can succeed! The most sacred moment of existence is to stand alone against all adversity! And America needs free speech without Big Tech censorship!
Fiction isn't a waste of time, but you can't say it is intellectually interesting compared to science.

You can read about magical physics in science fiction books or you can read about real physics in science books. The later is much more interesting than the former, there is no comparison. There is a middle ground in PopSci, still not as interesting as real physics but better than science fiction books.
i feel you bro.
its easy to understand other peoples point of view and at the same time seeing what their viewpoint misses. again beeing aware that myself is limited too.
it thought me beeing empathic with everybody but beeing able to say not my point of view. i guess its called becoming wise.
since its a pattern of aging which you can do ofcause with different style, i recommend reading into anthroposophical-biography-work to understand the patterns of human morphing thru life.
I am happy that I was blessed to learn about it. Now over 50 I still can recommend digging into it.
Best age is around mid 30 to grasp what's ahead.

For the first 5 years that I wrote C, I never used dynamic memory. (It was a hobby.) Later I found that dynamic memory allowed me to perform more operations. By only allocating what I needed, I could process more operations in the same amount of memory. I tripled the amount of operations due to not needing to restrict myself to an arbitrary size.

The Kernel has a feature that takes advantage of this same principle: memory overcommit. Programs are always asking for way more memory than they actually need. The kernel lies to those programs, and says, "yes, yes, I'll give you all that memory... sure thing..." even if it already said that to every other program. This allows more programs to continue operating since they aren't really using all that memory. When the system does run out of memory, it can swap rarely used memory out to a swap file; when that doesn't work, the application can receive an error, or the OOM killer can just kill the process. The result is more programs doing more work, and an occasional app crash.

Virtual machine hypervisors do a similar trick with memory ballooning. If the guest OS has a balloon driver, the hypervisor can overcommit memory for the VM guests, and you can provision more VMs than there's actually memory for.

Logseq strongly encourages you to represent all forms of information in the form of checklists or bullet points... which is great if you're making a grocery list but terrible for longform documentation.
After I got laid off, being unemployed was the best thing to happen to my mental health — I just backpacked everywhere for a few months, and built a lot of longer-term perspective on my life.

Getting away from the perpetual "oh god I don't have a stable income" fear, even after having worked in tech for many years and accruing plenty of savings, was the absolute hardest thing in my life (it's definitely privilege to have those savings, but I never FELT that privilege; I always felt one month away from falling off a financial cliff).

(I ended up jumping into bootstrapping products/dabbling in founding startups, then "leaving" tech into clinical work as a research software engineer).
Yeah it may be an overgeneralization, but from a recent trip nothing about the stations I visited particularly sticks out in my memory beyond concrete and plain tile.

I was afraid to mention that phrasing.
No, it's not stricter. It's a rule of thumb, an approximation.
I know of many people who wish they spent more time laying on the couch. I think you're making the mistake of assuming that your personal / bubble / society cultural preferences are universal.
Big words better. How else will you immediately judge someone's intellect?
And if you did, you would surely get results. That isn't really happening at any sort of scale today. Compare to Alexander the Great, who was tutored by Aristotle himself.
Not always true. I'm guessing the whole racist barrier entry is just one way to abuse these, but I doubt that's their primary function.

Besides, sometimes it's very useful to have certifications. I'd rather get my brain operated on by someone with lots of credentials.

Still, in most cases it's an incumbent industry barrier, nothing more. For example I don't understand why there's a "cosmetology certification". And don't even get me started on the racket that is a "teacher credential"
> The worst harm falls on producing and trafficking countries, where drug profits fuel violence. Murder in Colombia is three times more common than in the United States; in Mexico, four times. In some areas, drug gangs are so wealthy and well-armed that they rival the state, giving cops and officials the choice of plata o plomo (silver or lead): be corrupted or be killed. Prohibition also sucks children out of school, as drug gangs favour recruits who are too young to be prosecuted ...

I see this as the best argument for legalizing. The harm done to these countries by the "war on drugs" is at such a scale that war reparations from the US ought to be paid after they legalize this crop.
While I think this advise of yours should be clear to any user of a thesaurus or this site, I figured I'd share my default answer to a replacement for "very hard".

"very hard" -> "difficult"

Which is interesting because that's also an opinionated synonym for "hard", which without context has many definitions and interpretations. I'm also not even sure I think of "difficult" as being more hard than hard. I digress. Have a good evening.
Are these refugee begging because your evil country color revolution them and cause them to be in that situation? That should be the real story which is missing... like propaganda

> This kid walked straight up to the board and explained how you can design a computer program to factor any polynomial equation string input to it, and in fact had implemented a polynomial equation factoring program while the teacher explained how to factor simple quadratic equations.

I find this difficult to square with the well-known theorem that there is no closed-form solution to polynomials of degree five or more. (Where a "solution" and a "factoring" are, for polynomials, the same thing.)
No, I never said any individual measure was critical on it’s own. Six feet alone as in without masks etc does almost nothing. Six feet in combination with many other measures can do quite a lot near a tipping point.

Shutting down schools was was huge, but you seem to want to talk about 6 feet like that’s the only thing that happened.

What masks and 6 feet separation had going for them which is easy to forget is how cheap they are. Closing schools is going to have knock on effects for decades, people standing further apart is practically free by comparison.
Well I hope this doesn't auto convert my currently private notebook with lots of private data into public mode...
Non-partisan usually means people aren't directly influenced by political leadership. Pelosi has no recourse if NBER doesn't make the decision that she wants, whereas, she can punish/reward the junior Congresspeople in her party by withholding seats or funding for election campaigns. Thus, NBER is non-partisan while Democratic Congresspeople are partisan.

I would hope that every member of NBER votes. It's their civic duty.
Formitible for difficult, and for something like hardness you could use “extremely”

This is wrong.

Because of the way pointers are used, Forth is both compiled and not compiled.

> After the fetch and store operations are redefined for the code space, the compiler, assembler, etc. are recompiled using the new definitions of fetch and store. This effectively reuses all the code of the compiler and interpreter. Then, the Forth system's code is compiled, but this version is stored in the buffer. The buffer in memory is written to disk, and ways are provided to load it temporarily into memory for testing. When the new version appears to work, it is written over the previous version.
I am unclear what you are asking.

Are you stating that titles are incomprehensible?
Are titles replete with "tech-brand" jargon?
Or, that you fail to comprehend the contents of the titles because attention drift?
Founder here. This piece took my team and I months to research and tag and write. We spent hours counting individual layoffs in spreadsheets and on LinkedIn and running and rerunning the numbers. And the conclusion wasn't even what I wanted. When I started writing, I really thought that the layoffs were overblown and weren't affecting engineers. That's not what's happening at all.

Now, you're right, why do we put effort into pieces like this? It's to get some eyeballs on interviewing.io.

But this piece is not flimsy, and I think it's not correct or fair to assume that just because something serves our business that it's of poor quality.

Normally I wouldn't say anything, but the "flimsy" thing really got me.
I am not going to disagree with any of this, really appreciate this angle. I'll add that from Stratechery type concepts, Warren Buffet wisdom and the like, companies need a moat and in these platform providers its all about the walled garden. If the metaverse were to be the next big thing for sure, you'd want to be the one to capture it. I wonder if FB consulted with the Big 4 or BCG ilk to have the greenlight to go down this road, I'd find it humorous.
I agree the term is technically incorrect but it's still used as such in the building/architecture industry AFAIK.
Estimates or reported? The recession based on two consecutive quarters is on reports not estimates of what is to be reported.
I think this sort of perspective is becoming a bit of a meme. Not every use of longer or uncommon words is for the sake of signalling intellect or w/e. This is just such a negative, juvenile perspective to take if you are deploying it often.

Processing is not really the "predecessor", it's still maintained and actively being developed. P5.js just exists in parallel and was a student-imagining of "what if Processing, but designed for the web from the get-go" that caught on and got folded into the official Processing offering =)

> They should not be able to tell the difference.

And why not? If it's tampered with, it could have been tampered with by a malicious actor who can now lift your bank keys from the device.

Ultimately, it is about permissions. You modified your OS to do something you couldn't do on an OS that wasn't tampered with. If instead, the thing you wanted to do was available behind an appropriate permission, you wouldn't have had to modify your OS to begin with.
I just filled in a long term covid effects questionnaire. There were a lot of vague questions in there along the do you feel tired / depressed line. I think depending on the boxes ticked they might put me down as not fully recovered even though I definitely don't have what most people would think as long covid. I basically recovered fine though sometimes are a bit tired - hard to know if the covid contributed or not.

I think for useful research they should look at people say whose heart rate goes to 120 when they try standing or some such criteria that normal people don't fit. Feel a bit tired/down is something that could apply to anyone really. I think that may be what's leading to the "nearly half" in the title.
When have nuclear weapons ever been considered "arms"? Infantry don't carry nuclear weapons.
It's worth noting that the GhostCell and similar patterns are already powerful enough to safely express some code that would normally require pointer manipulation or other unsafe features. Of course GhostCell itself is quite unidiomatic and unintuitive, but adding a more idiomatic annotation syntax seems like it might be a sensible goal.
1. Clearly describe the correct process in your other process documentation.

2. Email everyone who might be involved a note about this and a link to the documentation and why it is important.

3. Next time someone ignores it, rip them and their manager a new orifice.

4. Wait for word of #3 to spread.

I could run your site locally with a customized host file so the referers all come from your domain. I don’t think it’s that much of a risk but I wouldn’t want to use a key associated with something that can bill me.

You could use Google actions to build your pages site injecting the api key at build time. It’s stored a repo secret rather than in code. Of course since you deploy the site publicly, the key will still be visible.

I've actually been taking pramipexole for almost two years now for depression which mostly didn't blink for anything else in the past.

I certainly do behave differently while on it, but not in a way that I think anyone who knew me would claim is inconsistent with my prior personality or behavior, just...less likely to fall into the inertial well that is depression stifling your actions.

A strange anecdote, though - my doctor told me when I was tapering up on it "okay, for some medications they tell you you might feel ill taking it initially, but no, for this, I am going to promise you, you will feel sick, and how well you can tolerate feeling sick is going to be the limiter on how fast we taper this", and he was correct, though it was never that bad during the initial taper up, just mild discomfort...

...then one day, the pharmacy gave me 1x1mg pills instead of 4x0.25mg pills, from the same manufacturer, and suddenly I had horrific nausea if I was in anything moving faster than a brisk walk for hours after taking it, and it went away when I went back to the 4x0.25mg. Which was wild, as I've never had motion sickness from anything before.

(It's also twice a day because the half-life is real short now, which is annoying, but c'est la vie.)

Feel free to ask anything that comes to mind about it, if anecdata interests you.
Basically. The BSL has a fallback in certain conditions where the extra provisions disappear and you get the regular OSS license.
Remember the whole copy paste debacle where they literally couldn't figure out how to allow for pasting with formatting versus pasting without formatting?

"Never let school get in the way of your education" is roughly the philosophy my parents raised me on. Precisely to encourage what you had done vs. what school expected.

Eh, I agree with your overall sentiment; but I cannot think of a worse example than the Javascript community. While there are genuine innovations being made, they aren't common and they rarely require the introduction of a new framework or library. When I think 'JS world' I immediately think of Sturgeon's Law (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law)
If they’re talking about the quadratic equation, this is likely 8th grade to 10th grade in the US education system. Factoring would be y^2 = 3(ab)^2 + c^2, get y all alone so it’s y = _____
It's hit and miss. Sometimes they want to throw you under the bus. Sometimes they want you to sign affidavits. I've never been asked to sign an NDA or anything like that. Sometimes they threaten with criminal charges. DoJ recently released some guidance about good-faith security reporting, so it might be easier these days. Doubt that affects active litigation/prosecution or vindictive orgs, though.
Bill Gates wrote a book about how cheap computers were saving us so much money that we ought to let them do everything. Now we know why.

Automotive retail and repair is not a pretty business if you follow the money. The full dealership retail price of some of the plastic parts with no electronics in them can be over 95% markup. The logic is that because there are so many dealers and so many brands of almost identical cars, the honest dealers need to make money on repairs or starve, and cars are getting so reliable that they have to make so much money on so few repairs that you don't even want to know how much.
Here, we show that the representations of GPT-2 not only map onto the brain responses to spoken stories, but they also predict the extent to which subjects understand the corresponding narratives. To this end, we analyze 101 subjects recorded with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging while listening to 70 min of short stories. We then fit a linear mapping model to predict brain activity from GPT-2’s activations. Finally, we show that this mapping reliably correlates (R=0.50,p<10−15) with subjects’ comprehension scores as assessed for each story.
Even if VCs get frustrated, giant companies will still have little difficulty operating free services as a vague loss-leader strategy, like Microsoft with OneNote or whatever.

That stuff will still exist as competition for any startup.

Ask HN: Options for Android phone no longer getting security updates?
What can / should I do with an (otherwise perfectly good) Android phone that no longer receives security updates?

Yesterday’s epic thread about blue and green bubbles, which of course branched off into a comparison of iPhones and Androids, made me think about my own phone more than usual. It’s a Moto G Power (2020) running Android 11 that received its last security update in April.

I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t realize this, or realize that this is Motorola’s policy (one version upgrade and two years of security updates) until yesterday. I admit that this has given me a new perspective on paying $500 for an iPhone SE that might receive updates for 5+ years vs. $200 for a budget Android phone that might get less than 2 years of support from my date of purchase.

Anyway, I’m otherwise perfectly content with the phone. I bought a budget phone in the first place because I’m not a heavy phone user, which makes the thought of buying a new phone that much more painful. My options seem to be:

1. Stick my head in the sand and don’t worry about the lack of security updates for another couple of years. I’m obviously in good company with millions (billions?) of other Android phone owners, but how foolish would this be?

2. Replace it now with a new phone.

3. Maybe go down the rabbit hole of LineageOS or other custom ROMs? Is this viable for a daily driver that I don’t use much but needs to work when I need it? How mature are these compared to, say, the major desktop Linux distros?
One reason is wanting zero-downtime failover.

Read the Bruen opinion - it's well-written and actually pretty clear that recent (really, meaning the last two centuries) gun restrictions are unconstitutional. Any restrictions have to be ones that would have been commonly in place when the Constitution originated, so generally, no later than 1791.

It's likely (and a really good thing for liberty and Constitutional rights in general) that Bruen will invalidate both the heinously unconstitutional 1934 National Firearms Act (which was never allowed to face a court challenge), and also the 1968 Gun Control Act, so yeah, full auto will likely be confirmed to have always been protected by the Constitution once the current slug of cases challenging these laws makes it through the courts.

Once the NFA falls, firearms manufacturing of all kinds will be opened up to every citizen. This is already starting a renaissance in the 3D printed guns community. (Current 3D printed guns are still a very poor substitute for their machined counterparts, but they now work well enough now to be the equivalent of really cheap, bad guns, and have the advantage that they do not require registration, which is really just a database for confiscation or harassment.)
