I understand that the link has the word "corruption" in it, but it's worth actually reading. Election authorities in Brazil banned Bolsonaro from referring to Lula as "corrupt" or a "thief," and fined him. Normally we don't refer to people who had their convictions annulled (and recorded conspiracies by administrations against them widely shared) as corrupt.

> On 23 March 2021, the Supreme Federal Court ruled by a 3–2 decision that Moro, who had overseen Lula's trial in a case, was biased against him.[23] It upheld the ruling on 23 June by a 7–4 decision.[105] Judge Gilmar Mendes of the Supreme Federal Court on 24 June annulled the two other cases Moro had brought against Lula, reasoning that there was a link between them and the case in which Moro was declared biased. This meant that all evidence Moro had collected against Lula is inadmissible in court and fresh trials would be needed.

> On 9 June 2019, The Intercept published leaked Telegram messages between the judge in Lula's case, Sérgio Moro, and the Operation Car Wash lead prosecutor, Deltan Dallagnol, in which they allegedly conspired to convict Lula to prevent his candidacy for the 2018 presidential election.[113][114] [115][116][117][118][119] Moro was accused of lacking impartiality in Lula's trial.[120] Following the disclosures, the resumption of legal proceedings was determined by the Supreme Court.[121] Moro denied any wrongdoing or judicial misconduct during the course of Operation Car Wash and his investigation of the former president, claiming that the conversations leaked by The Intercept were misrepresented by the press and that conversations between prosecutors and judges are normal.[122] Moro became Minister of Justice and Public Security after the election of president Jair Bolsonaro, and it is disputed whether an agreement was in place prior to Bolsonaro's election.

> The information published by The Intercept prompted reactions both in Brazil and overseas. A group of seventeen lawyers, ministers of Justice, and high court members from eight countries reacted to the leaks by describing former President Lula as a political prisoner and calling for his release.[123] United States Senator Bernie Sanders said Lula should be released and his conviction annulled. Ro Khanna asked the Trump administration to investigate Lula's case, saying that "Moro was a bad actor and part of a larger conspiracy to send Lula to jail".[124] American political commentator Michael Brooks, a vocal advocate for the former president, stated that Lula's imprisonment and Moro's alleged political motives had rendered the results of the 2018 election "fundamentally illegitimate."[125]

> Judge Edson Fachin of the Supreme Federal Court annulled all convictions against Lula on 8 March 2021, ruling that the court in Curitiba which convicted him lacked jurisdiction to do so, and ordered a retrial in Brasilia.[130] A full Supreme Court bench later upheld the ruling by an 8–3 decision on 15 April.
So it is fair to say Mastodon is already nazi friendly since nazis can just host their own servers?
It wasn't exactly free, but a crony system from what I can tell.
Honestly feels way too cheap at 5$ for what it is and the unjustified weight it carries.
Crazy that once upon a time just sequences of machine code were written to files, without any headers, or checksums, or basically any modern metadata. Just plain machine code, to be directly fed into the CPU.

Cue lamentations of today's complexity mixed with feelings of life being great because of it.
It's not the right people so it's not an audit
I have a sack full of just gorgeous Nikon lenses and camera 'backs'. But the backs are all single lens reflex for 35 mm film. I have nothing that uses CCDs (charge coupled devices, solid state, electronic photon captures).

But the lenses are just gorgeous.

Is there any way I can get a modern camera back, electronic, with a CCD or some such photon capture means, etc. that will let me exploit my old lenses, including, right, a just gorgeous 50 mm lens, a 108 mm, a 200 mm, etc.? So, the modern camera back need not have a mirror and, instead, show in the view finder what it sees via its CCD sensors.
Wow, the GUI calculator demo in ~2 minutes is pretty impressive: https://beyondloom.com/decker/
I think 35mm is even better, as it's more versatile in both wide and close scenarios (and 40mm is closer to actual human angle of view than 50mm).
Performance, and not having two languages to worry about.

Apparently that Python translator is still to happen, given how many keep using native libraries written in C, C++ and Fortran.

And cython isn't that great, given that it requires manual tuning.
I live in China and here's an anti-anecdote. I had a terrible QR code menu the other day where you'd sit down, order, but there was no pay button. This set of my alarm bells immediately. And indeed, for a dinner that was supposed to be around 200-300, we wound up paying nearly 100 in additional fees that were mystically added to our apparently open bill without declaration. I complained about this at the counter when leaving and they refused to engage. The food was bad too, it was clearly a scam. I left them a terrible review and immediately decided never to dine at a QR code menu only restaurant again, and have so far stuck to my guns. Incidentally, I also work in foodtech.

Problem is you're not just adding heat, but humidity. Normally while having a shower you're going to run an exhaust fan in the bathroom. So if you want to conserve heat, the better approach is just to make the shower as short as possible.

The Orville is kind of an anti-bait-and-switch : it sounds a so-so premise (Star Trek with toilet humour) but rapidly goes beyond that into a really good show with a lot of really likeable characters.
It is very possible to do this if you are a contractor working on a tech stack that people consider “legacy” because the software built on this will more likely be in a maintenance/bug fix phase (as a broad generalisation).

Pure bug fixing can be like being paid to solve coding puzzles. But of course often bugs are at the intersection of non technical factors other folks here have mentioned.
That's half true - we've also made it difficult, if not illegal, for people to receive a lower standard of care.

Anybody with a chronic condition needs to go see a doctor at least once a year in order to get the same prescriptions they've been on for decades. There are dozens, if not hundreds of conditions that could be handled by a pharmacy.

I need an asthma inhaler every so often. I have to call a medical doctor in order to receive a prescription for an asthma inhaler. They're non-narcotic, I will always have asthma. But I need to bother a doctor for a medication that should be over the counter. It's silly.
What you've described and what's described in the article are different. The steering mechanism is still a steering wheel with a steering column, it's just the display (speedometer, odometer, maps) is a touch screen on the wheel instead of behind the dash. Maybe not the best, but not approaching gesture-based steering.
I think it's not that black and white. Biden has been a senator and a vice-president. Of course he's not an expert in everything but he knows his party's lines and positions well enough to know the general direction he wants to stir the ship without knowing how to weld that pesky loose rivet on third deck.
Oooh! Thank you for pointing that out
i don't find joy in life. sometimes I get a feeling of purpose, but even this does not bring joy because in many cases it's a sad situation.
Age is just a social construct, you can be 35 years old and still be kindergarten aged.
Real terms only work in the past. These are future predictions about interest rates staying high. They would need to be making estimates about future inflation then and if history is any indication the fed always gets it wrong.

Remember, inflation has been extremely low during the period of low interest rates as well which they are referring to. If inflation stays high, even with high interest rates, that will make a big difference.

The most entertaining part of TNG and DS9 to me are the lengths they go to dance around the obvious fact that Risa is The Sex Planet. Everyone seemed to have a great time with the gag.

mastodons biggest shortcoming remains the lack of e2e encrypted DM's. Giving volunteer internet janitors access to your private messages is a recipe for disaster
The era of infinite git mirrors of everything has made people forget just how fragile the source code for so many things was (and still is!) - Microsoft has lost the source for a number of things that still ship with Windows (as evidenced by them doing binary patches at times.

If you have any old equipment, especially if it is of unknown origin, try hard to check it before you wreck it.

It's a "newspaper" operated by a business letting other businesses publish a statement in a newspaper of general circulation when registering or changing a fictitious business name, as required by California law.

So it's like a fake fake news newspaper.
Off the top of my head: Juliana Frink, a central character in "Man in the High Castle," is well-meaning and intelligent.
These were flat truck/ambulance surfaces encountered at an angle - exactly the conditions that the first stealth fighter, with its angular surfaces used to evade some of the best radar in the world, because from most angles, no radio waves would be reflected back to the radar sensing device. It's hard to get the job done with nothing.
It has a certain allure and acceptance for fringe modes of thought that keeps people around.

I myself started browsing in high-school and haven't been able to stop since -- I can probably attribute the development of my entire engineering philosophy to the place.
Most people are fine with hot tubs aka spas, which are essentially this. (In fact most spa designs don't even filter all the water on each re-circulation, as there are returns both at the bottom and in the skimmer, and only the latter is filtered.) Re-circulating shower sounds like a great idea to me.
Building an Elastic Query Engine on Disaggregated Storage

Yeah, I never like it when they don’t simply state that’s the case.
This is commonplace for decentralized protocols. Torrents are probably the most obvious example.
Good question, my answer was misleading. It changes virtually nothing in the parse or in the resulting AST.

Writing the parser as a process has made me (even) more familiar with SQL syntax and semantics and understand it better, which has only increased my disgust[1] of the whole matted thorny snarl that it is. I was asking for a dose of rationality for Lil, not a syntactic infection inherited from a misdesigned language. HTH.

(BTW the designers of SQL knew well that it had other problems and admitted them, eg. search for "A Critique of ANSI SQL Isolation Levels").

[1] yeah, that's the right word.
The messages would still need to be stored somewhere, right? Is SMTP a decentralized protocol in this sense? You can send a message from any client... however most people still use centralized solutions, not their own mail servers.

In your example HN would still need to retrieve and store billions of messages, handle user authentication, discovery, aggregation, additional data handling (e.g. you want to attach a video, or go live). They will need to monetize _something_. So we are back to square one, just with a much more inconvenient client setup process (like we do right now setting up pop3/smtp/imap).

I mentioned lower decks before on HN and was surprised by some dislike towards it... Perhaps some have judged it by the earlier episodes and tossed it out as some cheap comedy with star trek references, but it's evolving beyond this and has started to feel like it's own continuation of TNG-esque star trek, I hope they keep pushing for this - with comedy for charm, and interesting stories and characters for the core of the show.
The judge that convicted Lula was found to be biased against Lula and the charges against Lula were thrown out.

"On 9 June 2019, The Intercept published leaked Telegram messages between the judge in Lula's case, Sérgio Moro, and the Operation Car Wash lead prosecutor, Deltan Dallagnol, in which they allegedly conspired to convict Lula to prevent his candidacy for the 2018 presidential election"

That judge then went on to be appointed by Bolsonaro.

Perhaps the locals cheering on Lula aren't as convinced as you are about him being corrupt.

He is also popular because his Bolso Familia program wiped out huge amounts of hunger. Poverty in Brazil dropped by a dramatic 27% during Lula's first term. So of course he has supporters.
Heresy: Why do we need a replacement for Twitter?

There was a world and a life before Twitter, and there is one without Twitter as well.

I deleted my Twitter account about a year ago and have not missed anything. People and topics I am interested in I can updated on by many different means.
I'll pay $5 to be verified and then hopefully have an option to filter out every account that isn't verified

Exactly. Just have jpg in the code and serve webp based on header. Problem solved.

If you can do avif with better results than webp then do that.

You can also vary on the data save if you are really keen.
Congrats with the release and docs. Curious about:

Refresh/compile times, esp with more models and controllers

Do you get a single binary for deployment which includes all assets, such as a .war?

Is there debugger, similar to the one in rails?
That hypothetical was the case: back in 2007/2008 people of the blogosphere slowly stopped blogging and started tweeting. And if you had a good but suddenly more empty feedreader you’d then had to follow the great migration and re-find those people on Twitter.
Indeed. The whole purpose of the Constitution was to delineate "the government can do these, and _nothing but_ these specific things." Every power not explicitly granted to the government was understood as left to the People.

The Constitution is not as much a document of the State's powers as much as a document about the limits thereof.
Here in my country, to officially be recognized as a disabled person, you're required to undergo full medical examination every year (which can take weeks) and spend hours in lines to be reevaluated, otherwise your status will be revoked -- even if your defect is congenital and is not treatable (it's like they expect my bones to magically grow back one day). I've seen lots of people who can barely move be forced to stay in lines for reevaluation for up to 4 hours. I felt it's somewhat humiliating to be forced to prove you're still disabled like that so I stopped bothering. So thanks to our healthcare, a miracle happened and I'm not disabled anymore. I suspect they do it because their budgets are tight (we're talking about Eastern Europe) and they can't afford to pay benefits to everyone, but still the attitude is far from pleasant, it makes you feel like some kind of leech.
All project management is risk management

https://www.infoq.com/presentations/risk-project-management/

Know what you’re building but risk of schedule and budget overruns - waterfall and possibly earned value management (loved by the defence and aerospace sectors).

Not sure what you’re building so risk is you build the wrong thing - agile, get something minimal into the user/customer hands and course correct based on feedback.

No individual framework is perfect.
Decision reversibility is much overlooked in resilience engineering.

In a perfect world we'd have a kind of quantum uncertainty, where we
forked reality into two streams, and maintained two options until one
or the other proved a safe passage. Quoting from Digital Vegan;

"Consider how the UK government let our drinking water reservoirs be
sold off for property development, believing that advanced JIT (just
in time) management technology, smart metering and so forth, would
dispense with them. Then climate change came. Reservoirs are like
power supply capacitors; they absorb as well as smooth out
supply. Now in the UK we have housing estates built on flood plains.
Rivers burst their banks with every downpour. Knocking down
thousands of peoples' houses to regain reservoir capacity is much
/harder/ than it was to sell the reservoirs to developers."

The transition from a reservoir to a housing estate looks like a net
gain in "order" (entropy reduction) because it seems to create value,
but considering the system as a whole (cost of losing infrastructure)
it increases disorder.

Similarly our gushing project toward an "online cashless society" is
playing with dangerous forces. It's a net destruction of wealth and
order. It won't be cheap or quick to re-open shops, print and
distribute cash, install ATMs and money handling facilities once the
terrifying brittleness of a wholly digital economy becomes
clear. Those imagining "Nothing can possibly go wrong with the all
Bitcoin + Amazon society", haven't thought through the reality of what
happens when tens of millions of people can't get food even though it's
in a warehouse less than 100 miles from their house.
Cynicism is hard on the soul. I hope you find some joy!
Maybe we should dispense with managers except at the very top and just choose a random person from the team to be acting manager for the week. If some person from the team will end up being manager anyway, choosing randomly minimises the disruption to work, since your best performer will be saddled with managerial duties only occasionally.

Vanishingly few houses are actually listed. Some are in conservation areas, which have similar but less strict restrictions on what changes you can make. These are the areas in my borough - almost half the built-up area, but i would guess proportionally less of the homes, because they are lower-density old buildings:

https://www.haringey.gov.uk/sites/haringeygovuk/files/haring...

You can coax a London-wide map of conservation areas out of this, and see that most of the suburbs aren't covered by them:

https://apps.london.gov.uk/planning/

It probably is true that the most desirable houses are in those areas, but being in a conservation area helps preserve them and keep them desirable.

Anyway, even within those conservation areas, there is plenty you can do to improve insulation. I had internal wall and ceiling insulation fitted, and replaced the window sashes with double-glazed ones.
There are toolless mechanical splices for about a buck each.
Pre-terminated cable also exists, and a single fiber with an LC plug for bidi is small enough to fit through typical conduit.
An 8 year old, using the ring bound manual that came with their computer, can figure out the basics - enough to write a program like this, and examine it. I’m not being dismissive here, but speaking literally from experience. Personally, it’s my opinion that computers were a lot simpler back then.

Nowadays we’re very, very far from the hardware - hardware that has grown very complicated in comparison.
Chinese Secret Police Stations
Literal angloamerican establishment smears that are directed at EVERY enemy it targets. "Every US enemy is Hitler" shtick. Blaming everyone else for genocide where there was none according to 80% of the world outside Angloamerica.

There was no genocide in georgia, none in Syria apart from whom the islamists that CIA and Pentagon funded collectively massacred, neither in Cechnya, nor now in Ukraine. Like how Germans raped babies in Belgium in Ww I but they havent, like how Gaddafi gave rape kits to his soldiers, like how Saddam gave rape kits to his soldiers, and now, voila - Putin is giving rape kits to his soldiers, the Mirror tells us, and legions of Angloamericans BELIEVE it and repeat it online.

ALL of those 'genocides' are claimed, 'proven' or confirmed by the very same Angloamerican and satellite organizations who literally MADE the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs lie. Considering how no revolution happened in the time period to overthrow who owns and controls those organizations, leave aside the actual Angloamerican establishment, believing them and what they say is as dumb as believing the Iraqi WMDs lie. Its as simple as that.

And, "Iraq was horrible". No. It wasnt 'horrible'. It was a systematic, calculated, cold blooded massacre that KEEPS REPEATING. Nikaragua. Ecuador. Vietnam. Now in Yemen. Every single place where the Angloamerican establishment got its hands at.

> we have the full authority to denounce this -and- other genocides.

No, you dont. For starters, you are totally not making the same noise and exhibiting the same outrage towards the sick f*cks who made happen Iraq and EVERY single case before Iraq and after Iraq. They are living in your midst. You are doing absolutely nothing to hold them accountable. You aren't even 'canceling' them. You aren't taking them to courts. You aren't trying to destroy the people and institutions that protect them. Based on the outrage that you are showing for everyone else's crimes, you should be out with torches and pitchforks, in front of those people's houses, demanding their heads. That's the level of outrage that you are directing at others. But of course, its much better to rant about others than your own ruling class.

Second, and worse, you literally HELP those people by repeating their smears about all the others' genocides. Best way to deflect the blame after all, is to smear others even if they are based on lies.

Therefore, if you want to claim ANY authority regarding any kind of human rights affair, deal with the sociopaths who are in your midst first, bring them to justice, prevent anyone from committing the same, and then come and talk. Otherwise, no, you dont have any authority on anything. All you people are doing is just repeating lies and smears. Then again, not so surprising, looking at the state of discourse in Angloamerican media - lies and smears sell.
Ask HN: Is there a site or service for finding academic collaborators?
Amongst other things I'm an academic researcher, mostly interested in data - uses, management, performance. My institution has only a small compsci department (mostly teaching staff rather than research staff) with very few folks interested in this area.

Does anyone know of an academic service or site that can match up academics based on research interests?

Or, given where I'm posting this, does anyone want to go full steam ahead with a startup and HMU in about a year when you've got it running? :)

It's certainly the kind of service I'd pay a monthly sub for.
Perhaps Bruce Sterling and Frank Herbert (in particular "Dune"). Absolutely Samuel Delaney IMO.
